A beautifully bound 1809 publication of the Book of Common Prayer. Bound into the end is 'a new version of the Psalms of David, fitted to the tunes used in churches by N Brady, Chaplain in Ordinary and N Tate, Poet-Laureat to His Majesty'. Printed 1807. With 'the form and manner of making, ordaining, and consecrating of bishops, priests and deacons'. Includes the calendar, with the table of lessons, the table of movable feasts. Printed at the Clarendon Press, by Dawson, Bensley, and Cooke, printers to the University; and sold by W. Dawson at the Oxford Bible Warehouse, Paternoster Row, London. The Book of Common Prayer is the short title of a number of related prayer books used in the Anglican Communion, as well as by the Continuing Anglican, "Anglican realignment" and other Anglican churches. The original book, published in 1549 (Church of England 1957), in the reign of Edward VI, was a product of the English Reformation following the break with Rome. Prayer books, unlike books of prayers, contain the words of structured (or liturgical) services of worship. By the 19th century other pressures upon the book of 1662 had arisen. Adherents of the Oxford Movement, begun in 1833, raised questions about the relationship of the Church of England to the apostolic church and thus about its forms of worship. Known as Tractarians after their production of Tracts for the Times on theological issues, they advanced the case for the Church of England being essentially a part of the 'Western Church', of which the Roman Catholic Church was the chief representative. The Book of Common Prayer has had a great influence on a number of other denominations. While theologically different, the language and flow of the service of many other churches owes a great debt to the prayer book. Together with the Authorized version and the works of Shakespeare, the Book of Common Prayer has been one of the three fundamental underpinnings of modern English. As it has been in regular use for centuries, many phrases from its services have passed into the English language, either as deliberate quotations or as unconscious borrowings. In a decorative contemporary Regency full morocco binding. Externally generally sound although rubbed, the front joint just starting. Internally, firmly bound. Bright with light scattered spotting. Copperplate ink inscription dated 1813 to front blank. Slight loss to front free-endpaper. Very Good.
