What it is
Twelve long hymns for the hours of the day and the seasons of the year, in classical metres of great technical accomplishment.
Why it lasted
The finest Latin Christian poetry of antiquity; portions are still sung as Christmas and Epiphany hymns.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
