Description
Not only is the manuscript’s production and structure given detailed study, but the king’s ways of handling his prayerbook - his habits of reading, looking, and praying - are also set forth in a compelling narrative of his view of his sacred responsibilities as king. The second half looks at the Psalter’s thematic and iconographic workings and the role of the king’s adviser - Vincent of Beauvais - in the Psalter’s shaping.
