Descripción
Refers to books or other documents that contain the psalms, hymns, prayers, lessons, and other recitations necessary to enable a Catholic or other Christian cleric to recite the daily Divine Office at designated hours of the day. The breviary as a condensed work in one volume appeared in the 11th century, although the texts of the longer Divine Office were established in the Roman rite by the 7th century and in Carolingian Europe by the 10th century. Breviaries may contain elaborate illumination.
