Remember September the 5th! 175 years ago, the author of a famous German hand-missal, Dom Anselm Schott OSB (1843-1896) was born. For those who are able to read and understand German, please have a look at: https://www.thecathwalk.de/2018/09/05/das-messbuch-der-heiligen-kirche-und-seine-vorlaeufer-notizen-zum-175-geburtstag-von-pater-anselm-schott-osb/, even if the 1962 Missal is mentioned, too.
