The Book of Common Prayer is an Anglican liturgical text that comprises services and prayers for important occasions in life: baptism, marriage, death, illness, and childbirth. Books of Common prayer emerged out of the English Reformation, as England's break with the Catholic Church inaugurated vernacular worship. Books of common prayers enabled lay people to establish a more direct connection with God. The present copy contains ink and pencil inscriptions that attest to its use as a devotional object, if not a text for deep study.
