Prayers for private use, arranged for each morning and evening of the week, written in the 16th century in Germany (?)
Prayers for private use, in Latin, arranged for each morning and evening of the week, composed by a Protestant living within the Holy Roman Empire (see p. 43): but the handwriting is of an Italian type. At p. 187 'Sequuntur Orationes aliquot certarum personarum': the first is 'Oratio pastoris': others are 'Adolescentis', 'contra Turcam', 'ante Eucharistiæ sumptionem' and the like. This MS. appears to have been printed on 197 pages 16mo, to judge by the marginal marks. A 17th century hand has added an index of the prayers.
