About this Item

Published: n.d. [c1890-1910]. Oxford University Press 'Finger Prayer Book' offers a glimpse at private Edwardian devotion. Housed in its original full leather binding with gilt edges, this remarkably narrow volume was designed to be as portable as a gentleman s watch or a lady s perfume case. DESCRIPTION: Finger prayer book bound in full leather with gilt title to front [probable personal devotional BCP]. Gilt all edges Language: English Book Condition: Good. Light wear to corners, edges and spine ends. Loss of surface leather in places to rear fore edge. Partially cracked front endpaper. Hinges remain firm. Pencil annotation to verso of front endpaper. Clean unmarked pages. Tarnished gilt to page edges. DJ Condition: No DJ. Pages 77-599. Size: 9cm by 3cm. BOOK RESUME: The Finger Prayer Book represents a fascinating chapter in the history of Victorian portable devotion and the democratization of luxury printing. Measuring only 9 cm by 3 cm, this format was pioneered by the Oxford University Press specifically to provide the essential Anglican services in the most compact form possible. By omitting the Calendar and the Articles of Religion, the publisher prioritized the daily use elements of the faith, Morning and Evening Prayer and the Holy Communion, making the book a functional tool for the commuter or traveler. In a society that valued both piety and portability, such books allowed the Edwardian believer to keep the liturgy literally at hand, serving as a bridge between the grand lectern Bibles of the parish church and the private, mobile spiritual life of the individual.
