Title devised by cataloger; place of production and date range likewise conjectured.
A single hornbook made of oak. The printed sheet is secured with a brass-tacked frame and a piece of flattened horn. It contains a 26-letter alphabet preceded by Christ's cross and followed by a syllabary and the Lord's Prayer. A small hole is present on the upper edge of the oak paddle, likely the remnant of an early fastener that allowed this hornbook to be worn around the neck.
