Novus Ordo Sacramental Rites in Latin

    Where can I find the sacramental rituals (Baptism, Marriage, etc.) according to the novus ordo in Latin?

    My university library has the Ordinary Form Missal, Liturgy of the Hours, and Book of Blessings in their Latin editions, and any number published prior to Vatican II, but I can't find the post-conciliar revision of the sacramental rites -- that which provided the basis for the official English translations contained in The Rites -- in Latin.

    I can't even figure out what the book might be called, or if a Latin edition was ever published. Could someone please point me in the right direction?

    Here are links to the catalog of Libreria Editrice Vaticana: editions for priests and editions for bishops.

    Also, some of the rites may be in the "Shorter Roman Ritual" offered by MTF.

    My seminary library has them all and I have studied them from various angles. If you are consulting them from the musical angle, there is no music published in any of them, alas.
