horn-bookn.

Brit.

/ˈhɔːnbʊk/, U.S.

/ˈhɔrnˌbʊk/

a. A leaf of paper containing the alphabet (often with the addition of the ten digits, some elements of spelling, and the Lord's Prayer) protected by a thin plate of translucent horn, and mounted on a tablet of wood with a projecting piece for a handle. A simpler and later form of this, consisting of the tablet without the horn covering, or a piece of stiff cardboard varnished, was also called a battledore (battledore n. 3). For an exhaustive account see A. W. Tuer, History of the Horn-Book (1896).
