A Dictionary of the Psalter; Fr Matthew Britt

A Dictionary
of the Psalte
r
Containing the Vocabulary
of the Psalms, Hymns, Canticles, and Miscellaneous Prayers of the Breviary Psalter

Fr. Matthew Britt, OSB

We are proud to make this classical reference work for the Latin Vulgate Psalms available once again!

Whether you pray the Latin Psalter in the context of the Divine Office, or just like to pray the Psalms apart from the breviary, you won’t want to be without this invaluable book!

Covering such preliminary topics as “English Catholic Version of the Psalter”, “Latin Versions of the Psalter”, “The Latinity of the Vulgate Psalter”, and “How the Psalms are Numbered”, true to form, the Dictionary goes on to define and decline each Latin word used in the Vulgate Psalter (as used in the traditional Roman Breviary), its English parallel, derivative, and cites where the word was used and its context.
