Coronation Rites

by Reginald Maxwell Woolley

(Pap) means a Papal Form; the other letters refer to the Protestant rites: (B) Bohemian, (D) Danish, (N) Norwegian, (P) Prussian, (S) Scottish, (Sw) Swedish. The number of the page in brackets in the case of a Latin form gives the reference to the English version; and the Latin in brackets after an English form is the original of the form.
