Many thanks to
Pastor in Valle for the link to this
Divinum Officium site. You can select any calendar from 1570 to 1961, choose Latin only or have a facing translation in English or Magyar, and then select whichever hour you want. It is a Breviary-Head's paradise.

This is the site I use for my daily tweet from the Liturgy of the Hours, using the 1960 rubrics (occasionally moving to the RSV-CE translation if the English is too obscure).
I've been using this for weeks and I love it. However, the original is posted and maintained at http://lzkiss.net/cgi-bin/horas/officium.pl
Is it the same guy? He's a PERL programmer and it does appear that he took the link off his menu and probably placed it on the new site. Bravo!
Does anyone know which of the versions of the Breviary on that site would be comparable to a Breviary published in 1853? None of them seemed like they fit, unless either the "Divine Afflatu" is it, or if it is most similar to the ones from the 1500's.
I can also recommend (for the pre-1950's changes) the website of the Confraternity of Ss. Peter and Paul (breviary.net). For a very modest fee (around US$2.00 a month), one can view the entire day's Office (with all the proper parts already inserted into the Common or weekday pslater, even the Martyrology reading) at a glance. There is, as well, a fine English translation in a parallel column and sound-links (e.g., church bells for the beginning of each hour and the Salve at the end). Fr. C.
The letters .pl in the name are not the country domain but rather a file extension. While being hosted physically in the US (apparently), the site features a Hungarian translation of the Breviary in addition to Latin and English, so I think the author is Hungarian. Anyway, the site is a masterpiece and should be recommended to everyone.
Father, what do you make of the Newcalendar option on this site? Is it "legit"? Thanks.
Oleg-Michael many thanks for the correction.
Berni - the Newcalendar option is 1960 so I presume that it is perfectly legitimate.
Actually, while using the rubrics of 1960, the Newcalendar option uses the calendar of 1969! E.g. There was no Vigil of the Assumption. May one proceed thus?
This is a great post, I liked it.
