Miserere Mei: The Penitential Psalms in Late Medieval and Early Modern England

King'oo shows how, during the 14th to 17th centuries, the penitential psalms were copied and illustrated in books of hours; expounded in commentaries; imitated in vernacular paraphrases; rendered into lyric poetry; even modified for singing. They also lay at the heart of Reformation debates on the nature of repentance. 312 pages, softcover. University of Notre Dame.
