About this Item

Oxford, printed by John Baskett in 1722, this duodecimo edition combines the Book of Common Prayer with the Psalter and the Holy Bible, including both Old and New Testaments under distinct title pages. The text reflects Anglican liturgical practice during the early eighteenth century, when Baskett?s role as University Printer positioned him as one of the most influential figures in English religious publishing. The compact size of 6.5 by 4.5 inches (16.5 by 11.5 cm) reflects its intended use for both private devotion and parish function. The work is unpaginated, as was customary for many prayer books of the period, and its survival demonstrates the continued importance of Baskett?s output in the development of English worship texts. Condition: Very Good, with a firm leather binding, secure text block, and mild age toning across leaves. Format: Duodecimo (12mo), single volume. Collation: Unpaginated. Illustrations: Title pages for both Testaments in addition to the main liturgy. Edition: 1722 Oxford printing. #29241 PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
