Description
The Bay Psalm Book: A Facsimile A rare and significant work in American religious history, this 1640 psalter is one of only eleven surviving copies. Originally published as The Whole Booke of Psalmes Faithfully Translated into English Metre, it was translated by New England Puritans for a growing population unhappy with contemporary translations. This beautiful facsimile edition reproduces one of the best remaining copies, including the translators' preface and original printer's errors and binding marks. An introduction by Diarmaid MacCulloch provides context for the book's place in American cultural history and its enduring impact on the Protestant faith in America. The Bay Psalm Book is a unique and fascinating piece of history, offering a glimpse into the early days of printing in North America and the beliefs of the New England Puritans.
