Truly this is the book of Songs.
It brings the highest glory to the scribe,
God-written grace to the owner,
an honorable heart to those who learn from it,
a most pious mind to the beholders,
and the assistance of the Holy Ghost to the singers of its Song.

I, the Davidic book of odes, have come into being, bringing an excellent fame to the writer, God-written grace to the owner, a glorified heart to those who understand, and divinest thoughts to those who can perceive, as they chant the psalm, the liturgy of the Spirit.

Io sono il libro dei Salmi di David:
a chi mi ha scritto arreco eccellente fama,
gioia di letture divine a chi mi possiede,
a coloro che mi studiano animo glorioso,
a quelli che mi guardano menti piene di ardore divino,
e a chi esegue il canto il dono dello spirito.

| Comment |
The epigram also occurs in Vat. Palat. gr. 367 (f. 139r), but not as a paratext on the Psalter (ed. Constantinides - Browning 1993: 155).
A three-verse variant also occurs in the 16th-century manuscript Lesbos, Mone tou Leimonos 220 (1527).
Constantinides-Browning (1993: 155) attributes the poem to John Geometres, but it is not clear on which evidence this is based. |
