The Book of Common Prayer: the Texts of 1549, 1559, and 1662. Edited by Brian Cummings
If this edition of the texts of the Book of Common Prayer might seem, at first sight like a modern replacement of F.E. Brightman’s great work of 1915, the two volume English Rite, that suspicion is quickly dispelled. Brightman prints in parallel the three texts of 1549, 1552, and 1661, with a fourth...

| Summary: | If this edition of the texts of the Book of Common Prayer might seem, at first sight like a modern replacement of F.E. Brightman’s great work of 1915, the two volume English Rite, that suspicion is quickly dispelled. Brightman prints in parallel the three texts of 1549, 1552, and 1661, with a fourth column for (usually of Latin) sources. Cummings offers us in sequence the texts of 1549, 1559 (the Elizabeth Prayer Book known to Shakespeare), and 1662. Nor does his still lengthy Introduction seek the scholarly minuteness of Brightman’s ponderous and largely unreadable Introduction of some two hundred pages. |
