Part of a late 16th or early 17th century manuscript catechism, Anglican, written in a combination of secretary and ‘italian’
(chancery cursive) hands. Four leaves of parchment, 215 x 155mm, disbound, written
both sides. Some fore-edge cracks in the top leaf with a small piece missing
from top right-hand corner, with slight loss of text. Principally concerned
with the form and conduct of prayer. Part of one of the myriad catechisms
devised in this period and not a transcription from the Book of Common Prayer.
