Description

One of the most compelling and provocative books of twelfth-century England, the Markyate Psalter was probably produced at St.

Albans Abbey between 1120 and 1140. Heralded as a high point of English Romanesque illumination, the manuscript contains the Chanson de St.

Alexis. Leading scholars of twelfth-century manuscript studies explore the Psalter, understanding it through new methodologies, pursuing innovative lines of inquiry.

The collection shines fresh light on a well-known manuscript, and broadens the discourse about the book and its readers.
