• Résumé : CCCC MS 278 is a Psalter of the early fourteenth century beginning with a translation in Middle English verse, followed by one in Anglo-Norman prose. The latter is a revised version of a translation made in the first half of the twelfth century which exists in the so-called 'Oxford Psalter', Bodleian MS Douce 320, of c. 1150. The Middle English verse translation exists in five other manuscripts. The book belonged to Norwich cathedral priory.
