The Psalters exhibition at the Morgan Library surpassed my already high expectations. This case was among my favorite: two manuscripts of the psalms made 600 years apart, on the left with Old English (the little words in between the main text) from c.750 & on the right in Middle English from c.1400.
An insular manuscript on the left open and showing psalms in Latin with old English interlinear glosses and on the right a Wycliffite translation open to a page containing a large initial with the figure of king David inside.
