Psalms of Solomon


Book Description

The Psalms of Solomon, the most important early psalm book outside the canonical psalter, reflects the turmoil of events in the last pre-Christian century and gives an apparently eyewitness account of the first invasions of the Romans into Jerusalem.

Wright's critical edition is the first complete critical edition of the Greek texts of the Psalms of Solomon.
