Rare Book
This elegant version of the Dominican Rite is given an honourable mention by Stanley Morison in his English Prayer Books (Cambridge UP. 1943) where he describes it as excelling 'the very high quality of Dominican typography already established in Desclee's editions... The Ditchling Horae B.V.M. is a fine quarto printed in red and black and gives the complete chant. The hours are distinguished by wood-engravings [almost all] cut by Eric Gill... the best example I have seen of English liturgical-music printing.'
