Memorial Rituum

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Memoriale Rituum (alias: Caeremoniale parvum ) contains normative explanations about the acts of worship according to the Roman rite in smaller parish churches. It is the latest liturgical book of the so-called Tridentine liturgy .

The book was first published in 1725 at the instigation of Pope Benedict XIII. published for smaller parish churches in Rome. For church services which, according to the Roman Missal, required the participation of deacon and sub-deacon (Candlemas, Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday and Kartage), it created an order that a single priest could carry out without the assistance of such clerics. It was prescribed by Pope Pius VII in 1821 for all parish churches to have the same situation.

The last Editio typica was started in 1915 under Pius X , but not until 1920 under Benedict XV. accomplished.
