QUAERITUR: Latin-Spanish 1962 hand missal
From a reader:
I have some South American friends who are from a ‘lay community’ who are showing a strong intrest in the Latin Mass. I wanted to buy a Latin-Spanish 1962 hand missal for them for Christmas. Could you or your readers recommend something good (not being a Spanish speaker!)?
No idea.
Readers?

Comment by Konichiwa — 19 November 2009 @ 12:20 pmBut it has a bunch of bad links.
I sometimes find Spanish-Latin ones, but they’re of ‘66 or ‘64.
I hope that there will be some quality ones in the near future, but also in Vietnamese and other languages.
Near the Cathedral in Mexico City there are a lot of used bookstores, and many old hand missals are to be found (although the prices are sometimes set for tourists: try to haggle with them).
But this is the sort of thing that I have only ever seen in used bookstores.
I have the impression that vernacular understanding was not as high a priority in many non-English-speaking countries.
Comment by Father Ignotus — 19 November 2009 @ 12:46 pmDon’t know anything about Spanish-Latin hand missals, but at our TLM we offer Spanish versions from
http://www.ecclesiadei.org/Booklet%20Missals.htm
of the ubiquitous 68-page missalettes and Spanish-Latin versions from
http://unavocemx.org/propios2009/
of the ubiquitous 4-page Una Voce propers leaflets that accompany them.
Comment by Henry Edwards — 19 November 2009 @ 1:00 pmGood question. We’ve encountered the same challenge at my “bi-form” parish, which is 3/4 ethnic Latino, 1/4 traditional Catholic (both very closely aligned spiritually, so everyone gets along quite well despite the language gap). I know some parishioners have purchased 1962 edition Latin/Spanish missals from ebay. Wish there were a better solution!
Comment by Cricket — 19 November 2009 @ 1:13 pmI’ve inquired and there is none, at least in the U.S. We do have the missalettes in Spanish and Latin. With so many Spanish-speaking people here, it might be good to talk to Angelus or Baronius Press about it.
Comment by gloriainexcelsis — 19 November 2009 @ 1:17 pmCricket: Searching I did find the Latin/Spanish missal at Aquinas and More: http://www.aquinasandmore.com/title/Latin-Spanish-Tridentine-Booklet-Missal/SKU/59602
Alas, no full 1962 missals.
Comment by Melody — 19 November 2009 @ 1:44 pmHad to get my Spanish-Latin from eBay last year as a Father’s Day present. It was pricey ar around 60 dollars. It was from Spain, and was printed in Bilbao in 1935, right before the Spanish Civil War.
Comment by Cristero — 19 November 2009 @ 2:34 pmI’ve had good luck finding Pre’62 missals on eBay.
Comment by Rob Cartusciello — 19 November 2009 @ 2:57 pmPax House sells St. Andrew’s Latin-Spanish 1962 Missals:
http://www.paxhouse.com/books.html
(scroll down to item 256)
I found this link after a very long search. I don’t think there’s anything else available online.
Comment by Dauphin — 19 November 2009 @ 3:18 pmThe above Spanish-Latin Missal is one that I have bought and returned, because as Pax House explains, it is
“Only available in Latin/Spanish (1966 Edition)”
It is missing the Prayers at the Foot of the Altar, the Last Gospel, etc. It is the the 1965 Missal, printed in 1966. :(

They were giving away that, the Latin-English one, Explanations of the Prayers and Ceremonies of Holy Mass by Dom Gueranger, Mastering the Rubrics of the 1962 Missal, and two videos for free to seminarians at the USCCB meeting in Baltimore!
An excellent Latin/Spanish missal is the “Misal Diario y Vesperal” by Dom Gaspar Lefebvre, published in Bilbao, Spain (1962). I purchased a copy several years ago at a local (irregular)TLM chapel here in Miami.

Comment by dimsum — 19 November 2009 @ 9:13 pmAngelus Press, then click on ‘espanol’
Comment by ssoldie — 20 November 2009 @ 3:08 pmssoldie, that won’t do any good, since they don’t list any full missals (only booklet missalettes)
