description In the last 40 years, the exegesis of the Psalms has made it increasingly clear that the Psalms should be read as a coherent book, since the individual Psalms are linked together by iuxtapositio and concatenatio.

This article examines how the principle of lectio continua of <i>the Psalter</i> is taken into account in the breviaries of Pius V, Pius X and Paul VI, and it shows what problems arise when it is disregarded.
