Produktbeschreibung

"Published to accompany an exhibition at the Morgan Library & Museum in 2025, this catalogue explores the history and impact of the Book of Psalms in medieval Europe. Traditionally ascribed to King David, the Hebrew Book of Psalms is a varied collection of sacred poems that include expressions of lament, confessions, and joy-universal themes that influenced everyday life, liturgy, and art during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The book is edited by Roger S. Wieck, with contributions by Wieck, Joshua O'Driscoll, and Deirdre Jackson, all curators of the Morgan's Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts department, and an additional contribution by Frederica Law-Turner. Generously illustrated, Sing a New Song: The Psalms in Medieval Art and Life closely examines the devotional literature based on the Psalms created during the sixth to the sixteenth centuries--from what they contained, how they were used, to how they were illuminated"--
