David Griffiths' Bibliography of the Book of Common Prayer lists two printings of the U. S. 1789 Book of Common Prayer in Italian: one printed in Florence, Italy, in 1868, and the other in New York in 1874. The text presented here is neither of those, but was published by the otherwise unknown Chiaromontana Publishing Co. in 1879, likely for use by Italian immigrants of that era. Unlike most Prayer Books of the time, it was not certified by a diocesan Bishop, and contains only the commonly used services, plus the collects (Bible readings are by reference only), as may be seen by the Table of Contents below. The book is a paperback of 140 pages and is presented here as PDF graphics. There is text "behind" the graphics, but that text has not been checked and undoubtedly contains errors. Bookmarks are present for ease of navigation. |
