Résumé
The paper investigates on the meaning of the term “liturgical use” in respect to the production of pocket breviaries, to their content and their recipients. The analysis of some particular cases demonstrates that breviaries which were copied for the members of the royal family followed a different liturgical use from that which was locally practised, and this use coincided with the order to which their confessors belonged. These breviaries were conceived as books for private devotion rather than liturgical ones, and they generally display some ‘déviances’ from their main liturgical use, which points to their non-liturgical character.
