Used Book in Good Condition Angelus Press has produced a Daily Roman Missal for use with the Latin Mass celebrated prior to Vatican II (not for use with the modern Mass celebrated in most parishes). Dates are according to the 1962 calendar.
> since the Council at Trent
No, Latin was always a liturgical language of the western rite, also before Trent and after Vatican II.
> it was required knowledge for Catholics
It was never required. You can attend Latin Mass without knowing Latin and still understand everything because there are constant parts which you've memorized and form variable parts you can always read the translation in a daily missal, a very popular book before Vatican II. It is also worth noting, that literal understanding is not THAT much important as post-Vatican II generation tend to think, Mass attendance can be more contemplative.
> Tridentine Mass
It's a commonly used name but it carries a misconception that it was created at the Council of Trent. No, it existed long before, gaining it mature form around VI century. What the Council of Trent did was quite the opposite of creation - it banned various younger rites leaving only this ancient one and forbade modifying it.
> until 1962
Latin Mass still exists today and is regaining popularity.
> decided you could be a good Catholic without speaking Latin
No such things was said at Vatican II. What the Sacrosantcum Concillium constitution did was allowing more extensive use of vernacular languages in the liturgy.
For the old TLM, I have this Missal, which goes in some depth on many of the scriptural symbolisms/allusions. Many of the prayers are different between the TLM and the Novus Ordo, but even if you only go to Novus Ordos (the modern mass in vernacular languages, probably 90+% of the masses offered in the United States), this can still help to understand the scriptural significance of parts of the Mass.
imho, i was raised catholic and started going to a parish that offers latin mass and saw everyone using a 1962 roman daily missal. so i bought one--http://www.amazon.com/Roman-Catholic-Daily-Missal-Angelus/dp/1892331292/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1457297002&sr=1-2&keywords=1962+roman+missal and i feel as if i learned more reading the missal in a couple of weeks than i did in 13 years of catholic schooling.
