SimpleMan,

The missal rubrics were all changed with the publication of missals after Rubricarum instructum etc.

Your missal will have the old Rubricae Generales of titles I to XX.  These go back to the 1570 missal (and earlier) having been modified, for clarity, and with minor changes over the centuries until Leo XIII.

Depending whether your book was published in the first or second decade of the 20thC it will include Additiones et Variationes titles I - X - if published after 1913.

These sets of rubrics were completely replaced from 1960 with new 'General Rubrics' (1 -137) and 'General Rubrics of the Missal' (269 -530).  (The 1961 Breviary has 138 - 268 not printed in the missal.)
There was also a new Ritus servandus pubished with MR1962 that changed things like bow to the Cross at Oremus, no incensing of the celebrant after the Gospel at a Missa cantata etc.

MusicaSacra have made available a pdf scan of a MR1962 - easy to find on the Web.

It is worth comparing the the new rubrics with the previous sets.
