The Book of Common Prayer is the Anglican Church's daily and Sunday prayer book, the original and definitive edition of which was published in 1549, during the reign of Edward VI. The present edition, which results from the reform implemented in 1662, includes the daily morning, afternoon, Communion prayers and the litany; it also includes prayers to accompany special services, namely Baptism, Confirmation, weddings, funeral services, prayers for the sick, etc., as well as various readings from the Old and New Testaments. Engraved and trimmed title, mirrored and flawed in the upper left corner, with little loss of image.
