    Description

    The fifth edition of this Latin translation, which first appeared in 1670.

    Rebacked in full calf, with leather from the original boards laid down.

    With an engraved frontispiece. Collated, complete. 

    The translation was completed by Jersey-born Anglican clergyman Jean Durel (1625-1683), who was also responsible for translating the Prayer Book into French for the Huguenot congregation of the Savoy. 

    The Act of Uniformity made a Latin Prayer Book also needed for use in the Universities and at Convocations. This translation was first entrusted to Earle, Bishop of Salisbury, and Pearson, later Bishop of Chester; but Earle died, and his manuscript was lost in the Great Fire, and Pearson was too busy to carry through the work; so this task also was handed to Durel, high compliment when England was so full of good Latinists.

    The first edition of this translation used "communium" for the previous "publicarum". 

    ESTC No.    T140400
