The Middle English Glossed Prose Psalter is a fourteenth-century
anonymous interlinear Latin-to-Middle English glossed prose
translation of the Book of Psalms, eleven canticles, and the
Athanasian Creed. One by one, each verse is written in Latin with
an accompanying Middle English translation immediately following.
Over one third of the Latin verses of the psalms and canticles in
the four surviving manuscripts contain short, sometimes
conspicuously Christian, glosses. This edition uses Cambridge,
Magdalene College, MS Pepys 2498 as the base manuscript and
includes variant Middle English readings from the other three
manuscripts. The Middle English Glossed Prose Psalter includes an
edition of the glossed Latin as well as an edition of all of a
French exemplar from Paris, Bibliotheque Nationale, MS fonds
francais 6260, a fifteenth-century copy of an earlier French text
that appears to have influenced the Middle English translators. The
edition is in two volumes, and contains a full introduction that
includes an analysis of the language of the manuscripts by Jeremy
J. Smith. In addition it contains commentaries on the Middle
English, Latin, and French texts, three appendices, a select
glossary, and bibliography.
