THE ABBEY PSALTER
The Grail Edition of the Book of Psalms used by the Trappist Monks of Genesee Abbey, hand-lettered by the monks and set for personal or choir chanting
A number of guests for the liturgy at the Abbey of Genesee have discovered something of the riches of the Psalter through chanting the psalms along with the monastic choir. They are aided in this discovery by The Abbey Psalter provided for their use in the Abbey church. This book was printed from a text that had been artfully copied out by hand at the Abbey. The original was done in a non-classified style using India ink with a #2 1/2 or 3 pen point. The work took some four hundred hours spread out over 10 months, from February to December, 1974. It is done in such a way as to suggest something of the personal character that suits the meditative recital of the psalms, and something too of the peace and silence that monks seek to bring to their common prayer. Hardcover, 352 pages.

From the Hermitage of the Holy Cross
PSALTER 3-CD Set

The text is a trusted and reliable English translation of the Greek Septuagint Psalter by Holy Transfiguration Monastery in Massachusetts.
