Reader Norman Hartley writes:
Hi Daria, can you explain what the difference is between traditional Benedictine Office breviary such as the (Farnborough edition) Monastic Diurnal,and the single volume breviary?
I could tell Norman a few random fact about either, but since I own neither,my descriptions would be woefully incomplete. So, would any of you who own--or better yet, use--these books, please tell us about them in the comments? Using the basic, single-volume Christian Prayer breviary as the starting point, tell us how these other breviaries are different.
Tell us what are the pros and the cons of using them.
Thanks.
