Here's something from Canon Law Digest, 1958-62:

It's side ways and it's in pdf form, hard to flip.

You should be able to rotate it CCW in Adobe Reader. I noticed it was sideways, but I couldn't flip the scan without the full Adobe software.

Here's a "snip" that should be oriented correctly.

I attended Low Mass at an SSPX chapel yesterday. There were no Leonine Prayers--instead we were to recite some prayer to St. Joseph.

What is this about? We were confused.

All you need is justification for the omission...

Quote from: SJB

332 CANON 451 [Private]

In connection with the prayers after Mass, we wish to remind
you that only a serious reason would justify the omission of the
usual Leonine Prayers...

Perhaps a prayer to St. Joseph is considered "a serious reason"
in the SSPX, after all, this is the month of St. Joseph, and +Fellay,
et. al., are doing a worldwide consecration of the Society (that is,
what's left of it) to St. Joseph -- that would be on Tuesday the 19th.

This will be the second time in 55 years that St. Joseph has been
used as an excuse for Modernization, if I'm not mistaken.

The Leonine prayers are omitted on occasion in the ordo but usually only if a ceremonial follows the Mass or if successive Masses are offered. I know of one priest whose English is not very good who says the Leonide prayers in Latin during the weekly Low Mass and occasionally intones the Salve Regina or Ave Regina Caelorum instead of praying the Leonine prayers in Latin during the SUnday Low Mass which would probably also cause an amount of consternation among the faithful.

After Mass today we prayed the Leonine Prayers and afterward, we also prayed the Litany of St. Joseph.
