good to add dates

edit

It would be good to add dates to all the entries in the list of significant psalters, and arrange them in date order. Or maybe this should become a category? seglea 17:38, 27 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Proposed category renaming: Psalters to Illuminated psalters

edit

This will enable the articles on printed psalters etc to go in a recreated Category:Psalters, whilst the great majority of the existing category, which are articles on individual illuminated MS, stay in the renamed category, as a sub-category of Illuminated manuscripts. The proposal is being discussed at CfD here Your opinions are invited - Johnbod 23:53, 27 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Coptic section

edit

I added a section on Coptic psalters, although really I know very little about them - only that the Mudil Psalter wasn't on this page and there wasn't really anywhere to put it. I've now exhausted what I know about the topic, so hopefully someone else can pick up here.Alexiskai (talk) 08:40, 25 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

3 main divisions of Psalms, or 5?

edit

Article says, " Historiated initials or full-page illuminations were also used to mark the beginnings of the three major divisions of the Psalms," - what is the reliable source for that claim? All the Bibles I have ever observed on this have 5 (not 3) major divisions (Books 1-5). I am deleting the 3. (AltheaCase (talk) 19:47, 16 April 2023 (UTC))Reply
