Old English Psalms (Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library)
Harvard University Press, 2016. First edition. Hardcover. First printing. Fine, fresh, unused copy in equally fine dust jacket. Hardcover. 717 pp with bibliography and index. Latin psalms figured prominently in the lives of the Anglo- Saxons, whether sung as part of the Divine Office, studied as a textbook for language learning by students, or recited in private devotions. They were also translated into Old English, first in prose and later in verse (there forms weer eventually brough together in the Paris Psalter of the 11th century). This book offers, side-by-side, the complete text of all 150 prose and verse psalms both in the Old English and in translation into modern English. Fine / fine. Item #E31778
