Book Overview

Liber Psalmorum, The West-Saxon Psalms: Being The Prose Portion, Or The First Fifty, Of The So-Called Paris Psalter (1907) is a book written by James Wilson Bright. The book is a collection of the first fifty Psalms from the Paris Psalter, which is a manuscript containing the Book of Psalms in Latin. The West-Saxon Psalms are the prose portion of the Paris Psalter, and this book presents a translation of these psalms into English. The translation is based on the West-Saxon dialect of Old English, which was spoken in the south and west of England during the Anglo-Saxon period.
