French term or phrase: bréviaire royal de Saint-Louis de Passy
Hello,

I'm actually looking for the translation into English of bréviaire royal.

My initial attempt is Saint-Louis de Passy's royal breviary (based on R+C) but any other suggestion from qualified translators will of course be appreciated.

More context here: http://www.bnf.fr/fr/acces_dedies/mecenat_partenariat/s.mece...

And if after having read the BNF blurb, you feel like making a gift, if only of €20, please feel free to do so! Thank you.

English translation:royal breviary of Saint-Louis de Passy
Explanation:
"Royal breviary" is absolutely fine and can be found on the Internet, just like "royal missal" or "royal Bible".
However, I would not use the saxon genitive. It might work for Saint-Louis if that breviary had belonged to him, but not for Saint-Louis de Passy.
See ref. 1: "Royal Bible of St. Augustine’s Abbey Canterbury"
