📖 1925 - A Prayer Book for Catholic Seafarers

It is one of the most original, interesting, and moving prayer books I have ever encountered.
Compiled by the legendary and prolific Rev. CC Martindale, SJ, almost the entire book is newly-written original prayers and commentary specifically for sailors and seamen.

It also contains what is likely the first and only Marian hymn to include the word "torpedo"!
Thanks to this awesome theme chosen by @USNatArchives, I pulled together a brief thread of neat Catholic maritime historical vignettes

Unlike most missals, which focused on offering commentary, notes, and context for the various sundays and feasts of the ecclesiastical year...
The Missal-Vesperal offered the unique feature of "Symbolico-liturgical illustrations" by carmelite Fr. Fath. Berthold

These were black and white symbolic drawings relating to the liturgy
While the actual texts of Sunday or Feast would receive a brief two-sentence explanation, the drawings were each explained with several paragraphs of text

Several years ago, a childhood Christmas letter from Ratzinger and his sister were found:
"Dear Baby Jesus, quickly come down to earth. You will bring joy to children. Also bring me joy. I would like a Volks-Schott [...] I will always be good. Greetings from Joseph Ratzinger"
"Dear Baby Jesus, quickly come down to earth. You will bring joy to children. Also bring me joy. I would like a Volks-Schott [...] I will always be good. Greetings from Joseph Ratzinger"
The hand missal requested by young Joseph Ratzinger was the "Volks-Schott" mass book.
This was a simpler abridgmenet of an extraordinarily popular and groundbreaking German hand missal originally published by Anselm Schott, OSB

Good morning! We've got a bit of a doozy for #MissalMondays
The Saint Jerome Missal, published in 4 volumes in 1964.
It features the most .... unusual .... art we've ever seen in a hand missal (and that's saying something!)

Published by The Catholic Press of Chicago, it was clearly intended to be a new, major "flagship" missal property which was chock full of selling-point features.
They pulled together a large (and slightly unusual) cast of experts to contribute, including Father Andrew Greeley

(interesting note: it holds an imprimatur of January 1963 and a copyright date of 1964, and does not survive in many copies.
It's clear this was immediately overtaken and made irrelevant by the many sudden a d rapid changes to the mass which happened in 1964)
