Abstract

Excised leaf from an English Book of Common Prayer printed in Cambridge by the University printer, John Hayes, in 1673 (Slotkin's description incorrectly dates the leaf to 1688, presumably an incorrect reading of the Roman numeral date on the facsimile title page). Printed in roman type, originally page 33 of its volume, containing text from Judges chapter 6. Stapled to the righthand side of a sheet with a facsimile of the volume's title page on the left side in black and red ink.
