Liturgia Svecanae Ecclesiae Catholicae & orthodoxae conformis.

(Colophon:) Stocholmiæ, excudebat Torbernus Tidemanni, 1576. Folio. (27,5 x 19 cms.) [3] + 76 leaves. Without final blank in the preliminaries.

Provenance: Melcher Wernstedt (1602-1655), with annotaion on first text leaf (book acquired in 1643 ”from a priest in Uleborg” in Swedish Finland); Per Hierta (1907); Thore Virgin (1932, J. V. Johansson, Från Gutenbergbibeln till Gösta Berlings saga.

Collijn, 2, pp. 457-61.
King Johan III:s Liturgy of 1576, the so-called ”Red Book” which re-introduced a number of Catholic customs in Sweden, where the Lutheran Reformation had taken place in the 1520s. The liturgy caused ”The Liturgical Struggle” 1574-1593, which ended with the Lutheran confession of faith at the Uppsala Synod in 1593. Since the book was used for such a short period of time, and quickly became obsolete, it has become a great rarity.
