Description
The
Breviary
is
one
of the
six
official
books
used
by the
Roman
Catholic
Church
in its
liturgy
.
It
is
a
book
of
prayer
for the
clergy
,
giving
the
directions
for
all
of the
various
services
of the
Divine
Hours
throughout
the
year
. The
other
five
official
books
are the
Pontifical
, the
Missal
, the
Ritual
, the
Martyrology
, and the
Ceremonial
of the
Bishops
. The
angular
script
in this
leaf
is
executed
with
great
skill
and
precision
. The
small
and
vigorous
black
initials
and the
hair
line
details
found
in
many
of the
ascenders
and
terminal
letters
indicate
the
work
of a
superior
calligrapher
,
skilled
not
only
in
writing
but also in
sharpening
his
quill
. The
initials
and the
dorsal
decorations
also
represent
the
same
high
standard
of
craftsmanship
.
Strangely
, the
rubrications
do
not
show
as
great
a
calligraphic
skill
.
Usually
it
was the
task
of a
superior
scribe
to
insert
the
rubrics
or
directions
for
conducting
the
service
.
