    The Seven Penitential Psalms (translation- The Grail Psalter) Ad privatum usum Cathedral of Saint Paul Saint Paul, MN Cathedral of Saint Paul 239 Selby Avenue Saint Paul MN 55102 Image of Cassiodorus from a 12thc English Manuscript The ancient tradition in the Church of the Penitential Psalmody (Psalms 6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, and 143) is rich. In the 5th century writings of Possidius, we learn that Saint Augustine: …ordered the Davidic Psalms, which are few in number concerning penance, to be copied for him, and lying in bed he used to look at those pages which had been placed on the opposite wall and read them, and wept profusely and con- tinuously (Vita S. Augustini, xxxi) The first unequivocal reference to the seven “penitential” psalms as a group dates back to Cassiodorus (d. 580 A.D.), in his Expositio Psalmorum. In his masterful commentary on the last psalm (143), he On the Front Cover. Uriah the Hittite receives a letter from wrote of the “course of their blessed tears” that has just been com- King David.

Pere pape Pie VI pour la Congregation roiale des penitens de l’Annonciation de Nostre Dame, printed at the request of King Henri III by Royal Printer Jamet Mettayer (Paris, 1583) and held at the Musée de l’Amérique francophone in Quebec City, is a rare example of a Book of Hours that contains music. The musical encart printed by the Royal Printers of Music Le Roy & Ballard (Paris, 1583) follows the texts of the Hours and totals thirty-six pages. This article focuses on the music in the encart and its relationship to the rest of the book, and on references to music in the statutes of the Congrégation. The musical encart is an essential part of this Book of Hours as it provides music for the Hours of the Virgin and the other offices celebrated by theCongrégation , as well as insight into their musical performance practices.

A Service of the Word is now offered as a resource for use by congregations of the Scottish Episcopal Church. The origins of a Service of the Word lie in early Jewish Sabbath day worship. When Jesus worshipped in the synagogue, he joined in liturgy largely based on the reading and exposition of Scripture, and the saying or singing of Psalms – a ‘Service of the Word’. Early Christian gatherings for worship were also based on this pattern, eventually combining with the Eucharist to provide the familiar shape of the Eucharistic liturgy of Word and Sacrament.

  • Paul's Use of Psalms: Quotations, Allusions
    Faculty of Theology University of Helsinki PAUL’S USE OF PSALMS QUOTATIONS, ALLUSIONS, AND PSALM CLUSTERS IN ROMANS AND FIRST CORINTHIANS Marika Pulkkinen DOCTORAL DISSERTATION To be presented for public discussion with the permission of the Faculty of Theology of the University of Helsinki, in Athena building, room 107, on the 8th of May, 2020 at 12 o’clock. Helsinki 2020 ISBN 978-951-51-6040-9 (pbk.) ISBN 978-951-51-6041-6 (PDF) Unigrafia Helsinki 2020 Abstract This study examines how Paul uses psalms and how this is related to the uses and status of the psalms in the late Second Temple Judaism. The study focuses on clusters of explicit and subtle references to psalms in Paul’s Letter to the Romans and his First Letter to the Corinthians. Furthermore, the study covers the psalm quotations paired together or with another scriptural text and a selection of four individually occurring quotations from a psalm. The following questions are answered in this study: What was the status of psalms within Jewish scriptures for Paul? What does their use as different clusters tell us of the source of Paul’s citations and exegesis of the psalms? How do the individually occurring quotations from psalms differ from quotation clusters or pairs of quotations? What kind of scriptural texts does Paul combine when quoting from or referring to the psalms, and which interpretive technique enables him to do so? The study is divided into two main parts—Part I: Psalms in the Late Second Temple Period; and Part II: Paul’s Use of Psalms.

  • The Text of the Reading Book of Hours the Contents of the Reading
    The text of the Reading Book of Hours The contents of the Reading manuscript are in accordance with what might be expected in an early fifteenth century Book of Hours. The main text is Latin with some rubrics and two prayers written in French. The inclusion of the feasts of St. Genevieve (January 3rd) and St. Denis (September 9th) indicate a Paris calendar. The Hours of the Virgin are Use of Paris.1 They are imperfect, lacking both the start and the closing text of Matins and the opening text of Lauds, Prime and Vespers. The missing folios would have contained the prefatory miniatures for Matins, Lauds, Prime and Vespers. Standard subjects for such miniatures were: the Annunciation for Matins; the Visitation for Lauds; the Nativity for Prime; and the Flight into Egypt or the Massacre of the Innocents for Vespers. These gaps are caused by the removal of four folios which would have been located after the existing folios 18, 40, 51 and 69. 2 The Penitential Psalms3 are also incomplete at the start because of a further missing folio which would have been located after the existing folio 80 and which would have contained a miniature and the first seven verses of Psalm 6. The most usual miniature marking the start of the Penitential .Psalms depicts the aged King David at prayer. A less usual alternative is Bathsheba bathing. The two vernacular prayers which start at f.155r are commonly found in Books of Hours produced in Paris in the early fifteenth century. The prayer which begins, ‘Doulce Dame...’ is a version of the devotion known as the ‘15 Joys of the Virgin.’ The set of prayers which begin, ‘Beau sire Dieu...’ is based upon the devotional text known as the ‘Seven Requests to Our Lord.’ Both devotions are incomplete, lacking their openings and any associated miniatures.
