I had my Graduale Simplex scanned at Jeffrey Tucker's request, and the CMAA covered the cost, all I had to do was ship it. I got it back with the binding cut off, and put it in a binder for my own use.

As I understand it, a large portion of the CMAA is volunteer, so perhaps you can be that volunteer which provides a few books for the CMAA online library!

I'm not sure if the budget is still there to scan books, but if people have books in their libraries they are willing to sacrifice, it's worth talking to someone about it!

I think the real problem with the Simplex is that the whole thing needs to be re-typeset in a much more clear way and provided to the world as a PDF. Such a venture would be a great service to the world.

JonathanKK beat me to it: yes, AR49 please!

Breviarium Romanum (1962)

This is a case where we have just about everything except the real deal.

Examples:

Breviarium Romanum (1942 - an earlier edition)

Breviarium Romanum (someone's project, and not complete, either)

Nova & Vetera (expensive hard-copy)

Baronius (expensive hard-copy)

My understanding is that, at the time, there was never published an edition with the traditional Gallican psalter, as the Pian psalter was expected to catch on. Even so, access to any full '62 breviary would be invaluable, given that sites like divinumofficium.com do not provide the same information that an actual book does in terms of arrangement, rubrics, etc.

You would think that as the '62 Breviarium Romanum is right up there with the '62 Missale Romanum in terms of importance, it would be around somewhere, but no one seems to have done anything about it.

Cantorinus seu toni communes Officii et Missae (1911)

This small book (less than 100 pages) was published as part of the "Vatican Edition".

It looks to have come out slightly before the Antiphonale Romanum (1912), which seems to reproduce most of its contents. What I wonder is whether any content is unique to the Cantorinus, e.g. whether there were given tones of the Gloria Patri for use at the responsories of Matins, or something else obscure like that which would not need to be included in any of the usual books we are more familiar with.

Ordo hebdomadae sanctae, Desclée 1957.

Probably the last edition of Ordo hebdomadae sanctae before the reform; referenced as one of the sources in Ordo cantus officii.

I have recently purchased:

Officium et Missae in Nativitate Domini juxta ordinem Breviarii et Missalis Romani
(Desclée, copyright 1926, imprimatur 1948)

This has practically no unique content, but rather presents the music needed to sing all the hours of the Divine Office for Christmas, as well as all three Masses. Interestingly, it provides Mass IX / Credo I for the Midnight Mass, Mass X / (Credo I suggested, or your choice) for the Dawn Mass, and Mass II / Credo III for the Mass of the Day.

Approx. 130-some pages.

Also:

Canta Deo - Officia pro Dominicis et Festis I ac II classis - et cantus varii
In usum Congregationis Sororum Dominae Nostrae a Caritate Boni Pastoris Andegavensis
(Desclée, copyright and imprimatur both 1963)

My guess is that 1963 marks the first publication of this book, insofar as it is up to date with the '60 rubrical terminology, often expunges the use of the letter "j", and presents the psalms it includes exclusively in the Pian version. Being a book proper to a certain order, it has some content which is thus unique, e.g. proper feasts. Notable in the "cantus varii" section is a Magnificat S. Ioannis Eudes which runs to slightly more than 5 pages. There is also a whole section of about 70 pages in the body of the book, titled Officium B. Mariae V., of which I do not understand the use at present.

Approx. 660-some pages, of which the first 370 or are a Vesperale.

A final remark: this book gives some idea of what a real from-scratch 1962-rubrics book for the office would have looked like.

Anyhow, I post these two books as being of general interest, but also to note that if anyone is looking for something specific from either of them, I have them on hand in hard copy, and might be able to help out in this regard.

(Eventually, of course, they ought just to go online, copyright permitting.)

Vale in Domino,
Jonathan

For anyone that is interested, I just came across three new scans of the Antiphonale Romanum:

Antiphonale Romanum (1919)
Antiphonale Romanum (1919)
Antiphonale Romanum (1949)

[Side note: later in 2016 after this thread was started, the CMAA was the first to make available online the Antiphonale Romanum (1949), which I have been very thankful for. Theirs remains the nicest scan, too.]

Something which I may now have to do at some point: back when the AR 1919 was not available online, I purchased a copy to have for reference purposes. My copy has in the back the "mutations", or instructions for how to update the AR 1912. I don't see that either of the scans linked above includes those. (They are not necessary to the use of the AR 1919, rather the AR 1919 is already a result of applying those directives.)

Here are the Carthusian books for the OF, though their liturgy changed much less than Rome’s.

@Jacques Perrière

I have not uploaded it anywhere, it is scanned as double page spread but can be easily cropped to form a pdf. I am trying to find out how best to place such documents online,
1. What resolution?
2. What site?

@chonak
I scanned it at 600 dpi, of course this is a book with just over 100 pages with the old pre-1955 Palm Sunday.

At the moment it is all separate double page spreads saved as .jpg.

Have uploaded the folder to Dropbox,
N.B. Have just noticed the folder contains two pages 6/7 and 8/9 (that may be of use) which are from a different book "Officia Nova Hebdomadae Sanctae, No. 851c"

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/igz2uomeizrk1ts/AAD9Og4Fy7nCMT8z1RtLJY9ea?dl=0

I have scanned a few pages of Festa Majora
"Officium et Missa Ultima Tridui Majoris Hebdmadae cum Canto Gregoriano. 1925. No. 824"

https://www.dropbox.com/s/yxzv6c74z1v19d7/Festa Majora.pdf?dl=0

I have two copies one with a weak spine so may be able to hold that one flat to scan the rest... This time I have scanned it a 600dpi but in 'text' rather than 'image' on my scanning software. Which do we prefer?

If this goes well I will scan the Benedictine appendix in my Graduale.

I have been playing around with the setting on the scanner, I can scan text, so have done it with the following at 600dpi, The link is to Dropbox...
The Office of Compline, 1907 ed

Do let me know if this is better than the image scan option?

N.B. This form of the Office has long been out of use!

@CatherineS
They have both been scanned using the same method, 600dpi using text option, Sadly the paper used in the Office of compline is poorer quality and 20 years older. The difference I am looking at is between the Palm Sunday scan which is 600dpi, but black and white scan option.

The text option gives white pages, while the black and white option gives grey pages.

The next job is to separate the double pages, and then assemble into a pdf.

EDIT, Have almost got a slightly cleaned up version that I will upload as a pdf soon. I posted the original files just in case anyone has better software, with batch processing that may be able to do a better job. I have a pile of books next to my scanner so will be working on those next.
Plainsong for schools 1 & 2
Petit Manuel Gregorian 1924 ed.
Cantus ad Processiones 1948 ed.
Graduale Romanum 1924 (Benedictine supplements!) and the pages from the main part missing in later editions.

Anyone who is able and willing to scan Besnier's Manuel Practique de Chants Liturgique will win my undying adoration.

@JonathanKK

The Vesperale you have linked above, is it a downloadable google book?

In England Google claims it in not downloadable! If it is downloadable I could use the Tor browser to get it unless someone wants to put it in a drop box...

Five years later, has anyone posted "Cantorinus seu Toni Communes" from 1911?

Thank you! Some of this is actually relevant to my current project, I'll have to take a closer look when I have time. The LU 1910 is rather curious as it is pre-Vatican Edition.

I have now scanned Plainsong for Schools Pt1 and Pt2. These have been scanned at 300dpi, most of the content has been already coded in gabc.

Plainsong for Schools Pt 1

Plainsong for Schools pt2

Having typeset the Officium parvum some years ago, I hurried to see the antiphon Spiritus sanctus (tempore Adventus ad Magnificat & Nunc dimittis). How they constructed the alleluia-less variant for Annunciation when it's celebrated in Lent. But they simply don't provide that variant.

I was looking at the books mentioned above and decided to scan them, it is interesting to compare the different editions. It is amazing that they felt the need to reset it each time.
Cantus ad Processiones et Benedictiones SSMI Sacramenti 1920ed

Cantus ad Processiones et Benedictiones SSMI Sacramenti 1948ed

Not all the Book, but I have scanned some pages including the index from, Manuel des Processions et Benedictions du Tres Saint Sacrament, Rene Paris, 1921. This book has chant notation but with a modern clef on 5 lines.

If anyone would like other pages scanned I will be happy to scan and add them to the dropbox file.
