The Giunta Psalter-Hymnal Venice 1572

The present volume is a study and edition of the first Psalter-hymnal containing the list of corrections and ementations published after the Council of Trent, which took place between 1545 and 1563. The volume, printed in 1572 by the Venetian printer Lucantonio Giunta the Younger (1540–1602), contains all amendments that followed the revisioning of liturgy as part of the Council’s proceedings. The Giunta Psalter-hymnal 1572 (hereafter, PSG) is, therefore, not only a considerably important wintess of such reforms, but also of the moment when these were first introduced in the official Roman liturgy, more specifically in the case those concerning the Office of the Hours.
