Early American settlers, especially New England Protestants, adorned their Calvinist-styled worship with psalms taken from metrical psalters brought along from the old country. Among these is Lucy Sandler's piece, "The Illustrations of the Psalms in Fourteenth Century English Manuscripts: Three Psalters of the Bohun Family," which perhaps most clearly reflects the implication of the book's title that the relationship of text and image is the theme. During the late-seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, the most popular psalters in the New World were the Bay Psalm Book (1640) and Thomas Sternhold and John Hopkins's Whole Book of Psalms (1562, the "Old Version"), the former used principally by Congregationalists, the latter by Baptists, Presbyterians, Anglicans, and others. |
