BOOK OF CERNE. - It is a collection of prayers for private use, which once belonged to the abbey of C., near Dorsetshire in England, and is now preserved at the University of Cambridge. The manuscript consists of three parts, of which the second, written under Aedelvald, bishop of Lichfield from 818 to 830, is the most interesting because it contains the orations, whose archetype may go back to the 7th century. The content of this book serves especially for the history of private devotion.
