The seven official liturgical books of the Roman Rite include the Missal, the Pontifical, the Liturgy of the Hours (in earlier editions called the Breviary), the Ritual, the Martyrology, the Gradual, and the Antiphonary. The era of the first appearance of liturgical books is debated, but they were likely in use in Rome near the end of the fourth century B.C.E.
