Synopsis

The Book Of Psalms: Tr. From The Hebrew: With Notes, Explanatory And Critical by Samuel Horsley, L.L.D., F.R.S., F.A.S., late Lord Bishop of St. Asaph, is a scholarly edition of the biblical Psalms translated from the Hebrew, accompanied by extensive notes and critical commentary. This two-volume work, with Volume II shown here, presents Horsley's translation alongside explanatory notes, philological observations, and references to ancient versions (the Septuagint, Vulgate, Syriac) and modern criticism. It surveys each psalm in its historical and theological setting, discusses the Messiah's portrayal within the psalms, and addresses textual variants and editorial decisions. The volume reflects early 19th-century biblical scholarship, blending linguistic analysis, historical context, and theological interpretation to illuminate the Psalms for scholars and educated readers. The text includes introductory material, critical notes, and amply cross-references, making it a valuable resource for study of biblical poetry and theology.
