I have the 1968 version of the Enchiridion in pdf format. It’s really great in that it lists many of the different pious acts and prayers that carry indulgences. In the preface, however, it says that this version is much shorter and many things were left out for various reasons. I was just wondering if anyone knows where I can find this older, longer version (preferably online).:cool:

Hi G3:15!
Is this 47 page PDF what ya have in mind? I loaded it onto a CD. Enrichidion of Indulgences
Pax tecum,
That’s the one I have. It says in the Preliminary Observation:
The new Enchiridion, therefore, is much shorter than what it was formerly. For certain prayers and pious works have been left out, while others have been brought under the general grants of indulgences.
I’m more curious than anything what this older one was like, not that there isn’t already more Indulgences in the current version that I can handle:D . I’m always looking for new prayers too–especially old ones:p

For example, I have a prayer card that says there’s a plenary indulgence for a month’s recitation of the prayer and this prayer is not in the new version. I just looked at this card and after it describes the indulgence it has this in parentheses: (Raccolta, No. 347).

I have since googled Raccolta, and it seems to be what the old version was called. It allegedly got as big as 700 pages at some point! Anyway, I found a 1958 version available at a few online bookstores. This website also has it partially up:
