Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Book of Common Prayer: And Books Connected With Its Origin and Growth The collection described in this catalogue has been made to show the origin and growth of the Book of Common Prayer. The earliest liturgical documents in the collection are a set of prymers listed on pages 125-130 (numbers 667-677). The gradual replacement of the original Latin by the vernacular English in these mediæval lay-folks prayer-books becomes very noticeable during the third and fourth decades of the sixteenth century, thus preparing the way for the complete liturgy in English. The early results of the English reform movement may be studied in the Bishop´s Book of 1537 and the King´s Book of 1543 (pages 122-123, numbers 659-663). When the royal commission, presided over by Archbishop Cranmer, prepared the Prayer-Book in 1549 and revised it in 1552 (pages 3, 4, numbers 1, 2, 4, and 5), Quignon´s Breviary and the Brandenburg-Nuremberg Kirchenordnung (pages 123-124, numbers 664-666), among other works, were largely consulted. The religious settlement under Queen Elizabeth, King James I, and Charles II, is exemplified in the long list of Prayer-Books and other historical documents, on pages 3-23 (numbers 6-116). The missionary activities of the Church of England called forth the many translations listed on pages 26-40 (numbers 125-219). These are preceded, on pages 24 and 25, by the Latin and Greek versions, intended for universities and other learned institutions.
