A '''Psalter''' is a volume containing the [[Book of Psalms]] and which often contains other devotional material.  Various schemes for the arrangement of the Psalms are described in [[Latin Psalters]].
 
 
 
In the early [[Middle Ages]] Psalters were amongst the most popular types of manuscripts, rivaled only by the [[Gospel Book]]s.  Medieval Psalters often included a calendar, a litany of saints, [[canticle]]s from the [[Old Testament|Old]] and [[New Testament]]s, as well as other devotional texts.  Many Psalters were lavishly illuminated with full-page miniatures as well as decorated initials.
 
 
 
In British [[North Americ]]a, the first book printed was the [[Bay Psalm Book]] in 1640 in [[Cambridge, Massachusetts]]. The Psalms in it are metrical translations into English.
 
 
 
The psalter is also a part of either the [[Horologion]] or the [[breviary]], used to say the [[Liturgy of the Hours]] in the Eastern and Western Christian worlds respectively.
