Synopsis

This book is a rare and unique reproduction of an early religious primer likely published in the reign of Henry III. Designed to be the first educational resource for a young Christian child, it includes the alphabet, basic prayers, and the Lord's Prayer in both Latin and English, and served as an introduction to the larger English primers that followed. The author includes an informative preface discussing the history and purpose of primers in the education of children during this period. This book will appeal to historians of education, scholars of religious studies and liturgy, and anyone interested in the history of the English language.
