Thank you to our regular followers and occasional viewers for your patience during the interruption in Blog postings. The combined effects of Carpal Tunnel surgery on both the right and left hand made it extremely difficult to operate a computer keyboard. The stitches for the second surgery were removed on Thursday. Typing is still awkward while my hands fully heal. I look forward to being able to produce some longer pieces later this month.
The Podcast Homily for Morning Prayer in our new Psalter Series for the Tenth Sunday after Trinity was uploaded yesterday. The Psalm reading is Psalm 144 (which is Psalm 143 in the Vulgate version). For more details on Psalm 144 and all its uses in the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, see the notations on that Psalm in our Bookstore Publication, The Prayer Book Psalter: History, Text & Commentary. In the companion volume, The Prayer Book Psalter: Picture Book Edition, there are two illuminations from the Stuttgart Psalter, produced in the Scriptorium, Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Pres, Paris, circa 820.
Work continues on our latest book project, Angels: In Scripture, Prayer & Christian Tradition. I am waiting a high-resolution image from The Lovell Lectionary, depicting two angels bearing an icon of the Blessed Virgin and the Infant Christ, produced at Glastonbury, England, 1400-1410, and another depicting the dialogue between God and Satan c0ncerning Job from Job 1:6-12, from an early edition of the Bible Historiale, made in Paris, 1st. Qtr., 15th C. The are being digitized by the British Library at their faciity in West Yorkshire, England. I do not expect to receive these until early September.
As always, thank you for your interest and support. Production of our books is made possible by your donations and by book royalties. Glory be to God for all things! Amen!
