It seems to be unknown to Liturgical Collectors. There was an edition of the same date in small quarto issued in Paris by O. Maillard. It contains the Pope's Bull against King Henry VIII. This Breviary was largely used in compiling the reformed English Liturgies. Its use was finally interdicted by Pope Pius V in 1588. There is a peculiarity in the heading of the Preface of this copy (or edition) it beginning with "strum," the top line which would read "Ad nos-- -" being omitted by the printer. It must be either the second or third of the Paris editions. 137 BREYDENBACH (BERNARD DE) SANCTARUM PEREGRINATIONUM IN MONTEM SYON AD VENERANDO CHRISTI SEPULCHRUM IN JHERUSALEM; atque in Montem Synai ad divam Virginem Katherinam Opusculum, etc. lit. goth.
