ÆthelstanPsalter

Abstract

An illuminated Psalter that provides evidence for intellectual, religious, and literary activity at the courts of Edward the Elder, Æthelstan, and possibly Alfred the Great. The manuscript originated on the Continent, but was imported to England and supplemented with religious texts, computistica, and poetry. Its numerous prayers give it an important place among Carolingian and Anglo‐Saxon prayerbooks.
