"This is a publication to be celebrated for its inspired vision and rigorous scholarship. . . . The introduction is succinct and lucid, and it provides a useful starting point for anyone new to the study of medieval psalters. . . . [But] the greatest achievement of this catalogue is the detailed yet manageable descriptions of the manuscripts. Many of the articles amount to scholarly articles, with the depth and breadth of research rarely matched."

Times Literary Supplement

“This is a splendid catalog. . . . Solopova is particularly to be congratulated for the precise and careful details she gives enumerating the many textual differences among the psalters and their range of purpose and usage. Important, excellent, and extremely helpful, . . . the impeccable entries demonstrate just how carefully and intelligently this catalog was developed and produced.”

Speculum

“After 738 pages, 111 catalog entries, fourteen appendices, and three indices, I left this book with a taste for more. Solopova’s erudite research sheds new light on familiar manuscripts and adds information on less well-known psalters. It is an impressive feat, and will remain the authoritative point of reference for years to come. It also has the potential to transform the way we think about medieval psalters.”
