A high-quality edition of the Psalms printed in the 16th century. Bound in pigskin featuring stamped cameos of classical writers and orators, both qualities suggesting use of a Christian bindery or perhaps re-use from another book where such decoration reflected the contents. This volume is annotated in Hebrew and Latin throughout and is opened at Psalm 92, “a song for the Sabbath day.”
