Psalterium Sinaiticum

An 11th century Glagolitic psalter, preserved at the monastery of St. Catherine on Sinai. The first part (sign. Sin.Slav. 38/O, containing psalms 1-137) has been discovered in 1850s, the second one (Sin.Slav. 2/N, Ps 138-151) later, in 1960s. Transcript is based on Cyrillic editions of respective parts by Severjanov (1922) and Mareš (1997) - reflecting word boundaries, page numbers, interpretation of capitals, ambiguous characters, etc. Reconstructions of missing parts reflect comments in editions, as well as the critical editions of the Demetriusʹ psalter by Miklas (2021, 11th c., cit. as Dem. in notes), the Chudov psalter by Pogorelov (1910, 11th c., Čud.), of the Pogodin and Bologna psalters by Jagić (1907, 13th c., Pog./Bon.), and also psalters from the Ostrog (1581, link, Ostr.) and the Elisabethan Bible (1751, my-bible.com, Elis.). Some references point to older Czech editions like Clementine Psalter (14th c., link, Klem.), Olomouc Bible (14th c., link, Olom.) and Kralice Bible (1593, link, Kral.), as well as to the BibleHub edition of the Hebrew text based on the Westminster Leningrad Codex (link, hebr.), and the Blue Letter Bible edition of the Septuagint (i.e. LXX, link, cit. as gr.LXX). The numbering of psalms reflects the LXX tradition. The numbering of verses by Severjanov sometimes differs from the Elisabethan edition, which is then preferred in such cases. The English translation is based on the LXX edition by Brenton (1851).
