Synopsis

The Book of Common Prayer: With Historical Notes is a comprehensive guide to the Book of Common Prayer, first published in 1881 by James Cornford. The Book of Common Prayer is a collection of prayers, liturgies, and church services used by the Anglican Church and other Christian denominations. This edition of the book includes historical notes that provide context and insight into the development of the Book of Common Prayer. Cornford's notes cover the history of the book from its origins in the 16th century to its use in the 19th century. The book is divided into sections, each containing prayers and liturgies for different occasions. These include services for morning and evening prayer, Holy Communion, baptism, marriage, and funerals. The text is written in traditional English, with many prayers and passages taken directly from the Bible. The Book of Common Prayer has been an important part of Christian worship for centuries, and this edition with historical notes provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of this influential text.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The (so called) Primitive Liturgies may be divided into four Classes: 1. The Great Oriental Liturgy (called after S. James), which prevailed from theE uphrates to the Hellespont, and from thence to the southern extremity of Greece. 2. The Alexandrian (S. Mark), being theL iturgy of Egypt, A byssinia, and the country bordering on theM editerranean Sea towards theW est. 3. Tlie Roman (S.-P eter), which prevailed throughout the whole of Italy and the Civil Diocese of A frica. 4. The GaU ican (S. John), used throughout Gaul andS pain, and probably in theE xarchate of Ephesus until the 4th Cent. These Liturgies were in the language understood by the people amongst whom they prevailed. The Ancient British Liturgy resembled, and was probably taken from, the GaU ican form. It consisted probably of Psalms, Hymns, and Canticles, sung partly at night, partly in. the early morning, and again in the evening. S. Augustine (sent on a naission toE ngland by Pope Gregory the Great) compiled a new Use, based on the Roman and British Liturgies, and incorporating with them various parts of a Liturgy (probably of Leo and Cassian) which he had found in use in the south ofF rance. His successors tried to supplant theE nglish Use by the Roman Liturgy, but they were only partially successful, and never abolished the old national Use. Much depended on theB ishops, who had at this time the right of controlling public worship in their own sees.
