Abstract
OF no other Biblical book do we possess so many Early English translations as of the Book of Psalms. If extant manuscripts are any indication, some of these translations must have been rather widely spread over England in their day. We have twelve manuscripts of the Old English glossed Psalters; three of the Middle English Midland Prose Psalter; six of the Middle English Metrical Psalter; and of Rolle's translation and commentary some thirty-five copies. In addition there is the almost complete Old English translation, the Paris Psalter, part in prose and part in verse; and there is reason to believe that the metrical translation, at least, once existed for the whole Psalter. An English Psalter was by no means a new thing even when Wyclif and his followers, in the latter part of the fourteenth century, undertook their great task of Biblical translation.
