The Roman Breviary (Breviarium Romanum) is the liturgical book of the Latin liturgical rites of the Catholic Church containing the public or canonical prayers, hymns, the Psalms, readings, and notations for everyday use, especially by bishops, priests, and deacons in the Divine Office. The Breviary rightly so called, only dates from the 11th century; the earliest manuscript containing the whole canonical office is of the year 1099 and is in the Mazarin library. Undergoing several reforms through the centuries, the volume containing the daily hours of Roman Catholic prayer was published as the Breviarium Romanum until the reforms of Paul VI, when it became known as the Liturgy of the Hours. The Common, or Common of Saints (Commune Sanctorum) is a part of the Christian liturgy that consists of texts common to an entire category of saints, such as apostles or martyrs. Commons contain collects, psalms, readings from scripture, prefaces, and other portions of services that are common to a category of saints.The Proprium Sanctorum contains the lessons, psalms and liturgical formularies for saints' festivals, and depends on the days of the secular month. The readings of the second Nocturn are mainly hagiological biography, with homilies or papal documents for certain major feasts, particularly those of Jesus and Mary. Some of this material has been revised by Leo XIII, in view of archaeological and other discoveries. The third Nocturn consists of a homily on the Gospel which is read at that day's Mass.
