Summary
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.
