Title

Leabhar na nurnaightheadh gcomhchoidchiond (1608). Frontispice

Description

This book, printed in the Gaelic language in 1608, came out some fifty years after the birth of the Irish printing press in 1551. It is a translation of King James's edition of the Book of Common Prayer of 1604, the official text whereby the liturgy for the administration of the Sacraments of the Anglican Church was established. Someone removed the introductory leaves in English that declared their Protestant nature.
