Robert Webber, translator & adaptor.
The Prymer: The Prayer Book of
the
Mediaeval Era Adapted for Contemporary Use.
London: SPCK, 2000.
xi,172pp.
Paperback, ISBN 028105407X.
Publisher's
recommended price £12.99
Developed
over a
period of four hundred years, The Prymer functioned as the
primary
source for lay spirituality in the Middle Ages. Nearly all those who
could
read had their own personal copy, often beautifully decorated and bound.
Also
known as The
Little Book of Hours, The Prymer orders personal and
communal
spirituality around the daily office of morning and evening prayers;
throughout
the day it focuses on the hours of Christ's passion and death. The
Prymer
also includes prayers developed in the mediaeval era to deal with death
and the myriad of lie's hardships.
Filled
with Scripture
and the profound piety of the Middle Ages, this spiritual classic has
been
designed for personal or communal use in a one-day retreat, a weekly
cycle
or a thirty-day cycle of prayer. Additional prayers for the seasons of
Advent and Lent also allow The Prymer to function as a source
of
spiritual riches throughout the year.
