THE PSALMS IN MEDIEVAL
CHRISTIANITY
Autumn 2014
The Psalms were at the heart of medieval Christian
life and thought. Monks chanted
them daily in the Divine Office, lay people recited them in the offices of the
Virgin Mary and of the Dead, children learned them as the basis of their ABCs,
exegetes meditated upon them in commentaries, artists illuminated them in
manuscripts, and composers drew upon them for their chants. More than any other book of the Bible,
the Psalms provided the language and imagery for speaking about God and his
Mother and their relationship to the human soul. In the Psalms were read not only praise,
prayer, and confession, but the whole matter of the incarnation, passion,
resurrection, and ascension of the Word of God. In this seminar, we will be exploring
this intersection between psychology and theology through a variety of
sources—commentaries, liturgies, illustrated psalters and books of
hours—across a variety of settings from the cloister to the home. We will also be considering the
methodological challenges involved in studying the effect of the Psalms on the
culture of medieval Europe.

WRITING ASSIGNMENTS
1. Write a
paragraph or two on your exegetical/interpretive position with respect to the
psalms. Why are you interested in
studying the psalms? This is an
exercise to help you become aware of the assumptions that you bring to your
reading of the texts. Due October 9.
2. Compare five different translations of one psalm
(e.g. Septuagint, Hebrew Bible, Vulgate, King James Version, Revised Standard
Version). Note significant
differences between the translations and how they affect the meaning of the
psalm. This is an exercise to help make you aware of the way in which theology
affects translation. Due October 16.
3. Write a commentary on one psalm as you read it. This is an exercise to help make you
aware of your interpretive assumptions and goals. Use this exercise to help raise
questions about what kinds of tools you need in order to read the psalms. Due
October 23.
4. Compare and contrast three different commentaries
on one psalm. Note significant
differences in the way in which the commentators approach the psalm and think
about the assumptions they bring to their commentary. Use Waltke and
Houston as a model and to help identify commentators. Due
October 30.
5. Compose
an office for Matins and explain your choice of psalms. Think about the meaning of the office,
whether it is for a feast or simply one day in the cycle of regular prayers. You may use models from the medieval
liturgy. Due November 6.
6.
Describe a psalter manuscript.
Think about the problems of interpretation that it raises, including its
layout, contents, script, languages, and images. Due
November 13.
7.
Bibliography for final paper.
You should include both primary sources (e.g. commentaries, manuscripts,
liturgical offices, and other contemporary sources) and scholarship. Due
November 20.
8. Review
and critique one of the articles or
books that you have read for the quarter, based on what you have learned from
your exercises about how to study the psalms. Use this exercise to reflect on the way
in which your assumptions about what it means to study the psalms have been
affected by the work that you have done for the course. Due
December 4.
