AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Selling this beautiful, magnificent facsimile including a commentary volume. The commentary volume is in German.


Alternative Title: Becoming Psalters

Scope / Format: 237 pages / 25.4 × 17.5 cm

Origin: Germany

Date: After 1029
Epoch: High Middle Ages, Early Middle Ages

Genre: Psalters
Language: Latin.

Book decoration: 6 full-page miniatures with ornamentation, 190 larger, mostly gold and silver initials.


The Werdener Psalter contains the text of the Psalterium Romanum, an Old Latin text that does not differ significantly from the Vulgate version, as well as the associated Old Latin canticles and some prayers. An extensive calendar and two tables for calculating the date of Easter and the necessary lunar data are included at the end of the manuscript.
The Werdener Psalter is undoubtedly a luxury psalter, created not for liturgical use but for a high-ranking and wealthy individual. Both the text and the exquisite decoration suggest this.
