The altar missal is the book the priest reads from when saying Mass or principal liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church. The laity, altar servers, and other assisting ministers generally read from hand missals, smaller replicas of the altar missals frequently with vernacular commentary and compendiums of prayers. The official name for the altar missal is Missale Romanum, the Roman Missal. This title has continued to this day; in vernacular versions the title is translated along with the papal approval and seal on the first page of every altar missal printed.
