30. The relationship of the metrical psalter to the old English glossed psalters

Author

Subjects
Psalters -- Analysis, English language -- Grammar, Historical, Languages and linguistics, Literature/writing
Abstract

An analysis of the translations of Psalm 99 in metrical and glossed psalter versions and some selected nouns and verbs in the Old English, failed to establish the supposed relationship between the metrical and glossed psalters. Although occasional agreement can be observed, the opinion that the psalter glosses served as sources for the metrical psalter remains unfounded. The consistent agreement between versions and style of the glossed psalters through the years, is another significant observation.

32. The translation techniques of the Old English metrical psalter, with special reference to Psalm 136

Author

Toswell, M.J.

Subjects
Paris Psalter (Poem) -- Criticism and interpretation, Psalters -- Translations and translating, Languages and linguistics, Literature/writing
Abstract

A study of Psalm 136 in the 'Paris Psalter,' an Old English metrical version of the Latin Super flumina, reveals that the 'Paris Psalter' is not merely a rendering of the vernacular glossed psalters but an alliterative translation of the Latin psalter, revealing the competence of the poet. It has links with the prose and poetry of Old English and reveals the poet's knowledge of the Gallican and Roman psalters. The poet was consistent in his approach, chose appropriate alliteration, added extra words and phrases and omitted difficult portions from the Latin psalter.
