Book Sale - Chant, Liturgy, Liturgical Arts, Rare Historic Items [UPDATED]

Update on 8/10/16: Highlighted titles are still available. Will accept best offers.

This sale includes books in the areas of chant, liturgy, and theology, as well as some rare historic items. Several are in German and Latin. Many are out-of-print. I will start with a list of titles, and if you're interested in seeing photos and details, click "Read more..." below. Shipping is additional to the listed prices; I prefer to ship domestic with Priority flat-rate mailers because of durable boxes, insurance, and tracking. To ask about a book, contact me at pkwasniewski@newliturgicalmovement.org.

Some of the book owner's notes (which are at times quite amusing)

These books were studied very closely!

Saint Thomas Aquinas Meditations for Every Day, drawn from the Summa theologiae and arranged according to the liturgical year. Father E.C. McEniry. Columbus: College Book Company, 1941. 536 pp., hardcover. $50.

Gallus Manser, O.P. Das Wesen des Thomismus. Freiburg: Paulusverlag, 1949. 728 pp., hardcover. $100.

Otto Hermann Pesch. Die Theologie der Rechtfertigung bei Martin Luther und Thomas von Aquin. Mainz: Matthias-Grunewald Verlag, 1967. 1010 pp., hardcover. $50. (Who knows? Could come in handy, depending on what happens in Sweden in October.)

Josephus Fuchs, S.J. Theologia Moralis Generalis. Pars Prima: Conspectus praelectionum ad usum auditorum. Rome: Universita Gregoriana, 1971. 218 pp., paperback. $30. One among many authors whose errors prompted (eventually) Veritatis Splendor.
