Missal of 1962

[TradionalWay]

What changes were made in the missal of 1962 and the previous one?

 

[Thankfulness]

I do have a pre-Vatican 2 missal.
Latin one side of the page, English for interpretation.
However I haven’t found a site that fully explains what you might be seeking.
Hopefully someone can give you a helpful site, or I could do a page by page in the Missal, which includes a lot of instructions.
You might find it helpful to get hold of a pre-Vatican 2 missal and a 1962 one for your interest.

Are you referring to the changes made in the Tridentine missal between its first edition of 1570 and its last of 1962?

They were extremely small changes.

The 1962 Missal added St. Joseph to/in the Communicántes in the Canon.

1962 missal also added four supplementary optional prefaces: for advent, all saints and patrons, dedication of a church and the Holy Eucharist. These are found in the appendix of the missal. A diagram showing the proper mode for incensing a free-standing altar was also included at the front of the missal, after the traditional diagram of an altar attached to a wall.

I know the 1962 Mass was sometimes said as a dialogue Mass. Was it the Missal of 1962 that first made allowance for a dialogue Mass? Or was that in another document?

No, I think the document that you are thinking of is Blessed John XXIII’s De musica sacra et sacra liturgia in 1958. (Though the Dialogue Mass was sanctioned by the Holy See dating back to the 1920s, in various instances.)

Not to be contrarian but I think the Missal most previous to the Missal of 1962 was the Missal of 1953. If the document was issued in the interim between the two, the 1962 Missal would have reflected the change. Right?

 

[Mark1970]

The 1962 missal incorporated a new code of rubrics, published in July 1960 and coming into force on 1 January 1961. These rubrics included, among other things, a re-classification of the ranks of liturgical days, and the removal of the requirement for the Confiteor to be recited before the communion of the faithful. Along with the new prefaces mentioned above and the inclusion of St Joseph in the Communicantes, these gave rise to the 1962 edition of the Missal.

No, there is no 1953 missal. The previous edition was 1960, which included the new rubrics of Blessed John XXIII, and formally included the Holy Week changes made in late 1955 and in 1957. Prior to that, the 1955 edition included the kalendar changes, which impacted collects said on feasts of saints. Before that it was the 1920 typical edition.

The Dialogue Mass did not involve any changes to the Mass texts, so the 1960 and 1962 editions do not really “reflect” that.

Technically the 1570 Missal had “dialogue” although the cum ministris versicles were recited by the servers, perhaps their most important function prior to Vatican II.
