Description

This psalter fragment is the second firmly dated book printed in Europe and the earliest edition for the Psalter for Benedictine use. This edition is large enough to be used communally. This psalter was printed for the Bursfield Congregation. After the Reformation, many Latin psalters were discarded and repurposed in bookbinding like this one.
