Publisher's Synopsis

This 1549 work, published in the reign of King Edward VI, was a product of the English Reformation following the break with Rome The bulk of this work consists of a psalter, which is not reproduced here. The section that is published is in general derived from the First Prayer Book of King Edward VI, with virtually everything omitted that did not regard the parish clerk. Full copies are currently known to exist in the British Library, and Yale. The edition is accompanied by fourteen appendices in which are printed documents relating to the duties of parish clerks before and after the Protestant Reformation.
