Excerpt from The Bosworth Psalter: An Account of a Manuscript Formerly Belonging to O. Turville-Petre, Esq. Of Bosworth Hall, Now Addit, Ms. 37517 at the British MuseumOn the conversion of England St. Augustine, coming from Rome itself, naturally brought into the country with him the recension then in use in the Eternal City, namely the Roman. Thus the celebrated Cotton ms. Psalter Vespasian A 1 in the British Museum is almost certainly a very early copy, made in England, of the actual book of the psalms, which the apostle of our race is known to have brought to Canterbury. According to the description given by the monk Elmham this volume was kept on the high altar at St. Augustine's monastery, Canterbury, as a precious memorial of the saint. The version is the Roman throughout, and so too is that of another ms. Psalter in the British Museum (royal ms. 2. B. Which has been attributed to Winchester and is supposed to have been written in the first' half of the tenth century.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
