Beautifully printed edition of the principal edition of the Book of Common Prayer published between the two books published during the reign of Edward VI and the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. There's a very brief preface but the main body of the edition is followed by almost 50 pages on the history of this version of the BCP, about 30 pages of notes, and a very brief bibliography. The spelling (but not vocabulary) is modernized, about which I feel ambivalent, and there are brief glosses on archaic vocabulary.
