Missale Romanum

Missale Romanum - Ex Decreto Sacrosancti Concilii Tridentini Restitutum PII V. Pont. Max. Jusuu Editium et Clementis VIII Primum, Nunc Denuo URBANI PAPAE OCTAVI Auctoritate Recognitum ANTVERPIAE Ex Typographia Plantiniana M.DCC.XXVI

The first printed edition of a book with the title “Missale Romanum” dates back to 1474 (in Milan, Italy). This publication compiled the texts of the Holy Mass according to the usages of the Roman Curia. This edition will become the archetype of all subsequent publications, which later merged into the official edition - the “Tridentine Missal” or “Missal of St. Pius V” - approved in 1570 by Pope Pius V.

For many centuries, in addition to the Divine Law, the Catholic religion itself influenced and established presence in the Court and Jail of Appeal.
