This is a staggering volume, in every sense. At over 700 pages, it is a doorstopper. But the wealth of material, and the scholarship and editorial accuracy, on display here across such a large volume demand as much awe as they do praise from any scholar who has the good sense to consult it. The editors gather here all of the special liturgies and orders promulgated by authority (royal, episcopal, parliamentary) for ‘special’ public worship from the birth of the princess Elizabeth (1533) to the ‘threat’ of William of Orange's invasion (October 1688). The editors meticulously reproduce, in old spelling, the full texts of all orders, prayers and rubrics original to the occasions that they mark, with clear notes of how those bespoke elements were to be interpolated into the routine liturgies or forms of worship then authorised. Anyone who has attempted to locate such things in ESTC, EEBO or a library catalogue will know the paralysing frustration of navigating headings like ‘Church of England, Liturgies'. So to have all of these services and orders between two covers is itself a gift to sanity as well as scholarship. But it is the value-added elements – the product of painstaking research and a vast amount of care and time – that make this not just a useful, but also a superlative, volume: a revelatory introduction, deeply researched documented head-notes to every service, and lavish finding aids and bibliography. This is a triumph, and another jewel in the crown of the Church of England Record Society.
