About this book
The Divine Office, subtitled A Study of the Roman Breviary, is by Edward J. Quigley. The preface says the author hopes the book may serve as an introductory manual to the study of the Breviary. The preface also says the book may be useful to junior students in colleges, in giving them some knowledge of the Church's Hours.
The text asks what form the public prayers, which it calls the divine office, took in the time of the Apostles, and says it is impossible to say. The text says that Cassian writes that the monks of the fifth century celebrated the Night Office with twelve psalms and readings from the Old and the New Testaments. The text sets out a second proposition: the Breviary hymns have the principal elements of poetic beauty.
