Ten? Fifteen? ... An incredible list of names means churches books that revolve around more or less of the celebrations and are intended for the faithful!
begin chronologically with the Book of Hours . Do not look on your nightstand, they are stored on the shelves of the greatest national and international libraries! The Book of Hours was not intended to recite an Office in common, but the private devotion of the laity, although it was sometimes used as a family. It a collection of prayers and offices for use by the faithful who resembles his breviary by cutting hours. The first editions of Paris dating from 1485. At the end of the sixteenth century, but almost no published bibliophiles recognize them as masterpieces of the publishing industry.
There are three broad categories of texts in the Book of Hours: The essential texts, from the breviary with the calendar of religious festivals and holy psalms (of the penance, for example) and litanies in honor of God, the Virgin and Saints - Selected secondary texts in the four Gospel - and texts accessories, like prayers from a variety of popular piety, some of which may be in the vernacular. These texts were not subject to the approval of ecclesiastical authority making it the first books to church for the faithful. All other works will now be submitted to the imprimatur. Many of these books contain explanations and historical commentaries, liturgical, theological or spiritual.
The first of these is the missal or prayer book Paroissien is a book of prayers that are used primarily to monitor the agency's regular Mass is said in church. It is easily distinguished from the altar missal is often folio format. Certain times of the year was an opportunity for publishers to offer faithful works of great beauty. It certainly Office of Holy Week who has most inspired printers and bookbinders. There is no Ebayana who did this one, every Thursday, under a beautiful cherry morocco with arms of Louis XV!
Others are various prayer books called devotional books : Are gathered, prayers morning and evening meditations (including, at times, meditations during the celebration of the Mass), Stations of the Cross, litanies or Benediction. These books were available to girls and young men in schools, for example, to accompany their school life. If you find "flakes of gold" in your attic, they are for your children ...
There are also many biblical texts together in one collection as Psalms (Psalms of David) or extracts of the Gospels . Special mention Imitation is to confer and especially the Imitation of Christ . This work attributed to Thomas à Kempis or Gerson, monks of medieval times, is a Christian devotional book that is modeled on the life of Christ made of self-denial, humility and meditation. All translations of the Imitation of Jesus express the overwhelming drive to worship Christ. These books have had their moment of glory after Concordat when Catholic rites, having been undermined by the revolution, the church relied on these texts to rekindle the faith of the faithful. If
must speak of publishing success, in terms of church books, we must also mention the many editions of Sermons that marked the eighteenth century at a time when the Society of Jesus, was opposed in the pulpit , the priests of the Oratory (Bossuet, Massillon, Bourdaloue, etc ...).
I conclude this litany by the historical books which are the largest publishing books by church since the age of the publishing industry . The stories of the lives of the saints , the Jesuit life, the life of the Missionaries Of the Popes life and the lives of the faithful , themselves, are countless, often well connected and well illustrated. I urge you to collect them, especially those covered by bindings romantic ...
