The Book of Common Prayer is the prayer book for the Anglican communion and I think the first edition came out in the 1500s. Thomas Cranmer, great reformer, was very instrumental in putting this book together. It basically lays out the liturgy for the Anglican church. It has the psalms included in it and then various prayers and what are called Collects and things that are there to aid Christians in their devotion corporately and some individually.
