The Royal Prayer Book (London, British Library Royal MS 2.A.XX) is a collection of prayers believed to have been copied in the late eighth century or the early ninth century.[1] It was written in West Mercia, likely either in or around Worcester.[2] It is one of four early Anglo-Saxon prayerbooks, all of which have some textual interrelationships: the Book of Cerne, the Harleian prayerbook, and the Book of Nunnaminster. The prayers are mainly in Latin but have some Old English and Greek elements.[3] Its general theme ‘would appear to be Christ as the healer of mankind’, and its concern with physical healing is sufficient to suggest that it ‘might have functioned as a devotional, and practical, tool for a physician’.[4] Folio 45v contains what seems to be the first manuscript attestation in any Germanic language of the common noun elf.[5] The manuscript also contains detailed Old English glosses from the tenth century in the Mercian dialect of Old English.[6] References1. ^Joseph Crowley, ‘AnglicizedWord Order in Old English Continuous Interlinear Glosses in British Library, Royal 2.
