The Twelfth-Century Psalter Commentary in French for Laurette d'Alsace

Abstract

Laurette d'Alsace, daughter of the Comte de Flandre, was married to four members of the northern French aristocracy and finally retreated to the Abbaye de Forest in Brussels. She was to remain there until her death in 1170, and it was at Forest that she seems to have provided the impetus for this scholarly commentary on the Psalms both to be begun and, eventually, completed. This book, originally published as two paperback volumes in 1990 under the ISBNs 978-0-947623-31-9 and 978-0-947623-32-6, was made Open Access in 2024 as part of the MHRA Revivals programme.
