BISHOPS' BOOK - HENRY VIII
Footnotes
The Institution of the Christian Man, commonly called "The Bishop's Book", was produced by a committee of forty-six divines and bishops headed by Thomas Cranmer, in support of the King Henry's reforms.
Provenance: Unidentified sixteenth century owner, with numerous marginal glosses, and on the colophon comments on the learned contributors to the volume; "R. Peers 1s.", ink name inside lower cover; "H. Peers" and "W. Pearce 1793" in upper margin of title-page. William Pearce (1744-1820) was Dean of Ely from 1797 until his death. A loosely inserted note ("... this book came to me at my father's death in 1904") by Pearce's great-grandson is loosely inserted.
