Ecclesiastical Prayers

Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet

This book is in French.

The collection of prayers and devotions Bossuet gave the faithful of his diocese (1689): the Angelus, how to hear Holy Mass, the collects, the psalms of Vespers, hymns, litanies, the exercise of confession and communion, the ordinary practices of devotion, with the Meditations for the Time of the Jubilee as an appendix. Lachat edition (1862).

Contents

Source: Typed transcription of volume V, pages 008-026. Latin texts (hymns, psalms, collects) are given with the French as printed. The transcription loses the œ ligature; it is restored by a dictionary pass (ambiguous forms such as sœur/sur, mœurs/murs, vœu/vu decided from the Lachat OCR). Page-bottom notes of the Lachat edition are kept as footnotes.
