Beschreibung

The Book of the Common Prayer and Administration of The Holy Communion. Together with THE PSALTER OR PSALMS OF DAVID but without the Calendar, Occasional Services, and Articles of Religion. [The Finger Prayer Book]

Oxford University Press Henry Frowde, London.[c1890-1910], full leather binding with gilt edges, 599 pages

Fascinating chapter in the history of Victorian portable devotion and the democratization of luxury printing. By omitting the Calendar and the Articles of Religion, the publisher prioritized the daily use elements of the faith, Morning and Evening Prayer and the Holy Communion, making the book a functional tool for the commuter or traveler.

Very good condition
