Lyra Regis: The Book of Psalms and Other Lyrical Poetry of the Old Testament Rendered Literally Into English Metres (1885)

Lyra Regis is a book that presents the Book of Psalms and other lyrical poetry of the Old Testament in English meters. The book was originally published in 1885 and was authored by Digby Strangeways Wrangham. The author's aim was to provide readers with a literal translation of these ancient texts into English, while also retaining the lyrical quality of the original Hebrew. The book is divided into chapters that correspond to the different books of the Old Testament, with each chapter containing a selection of psalms and other poems. The translations are presented in verse form, with careful attention paid to the rhythm and rhyme scheme of each poem. The book is intended for readers who are interested in exploring the rich poetic tradition of the Old Testament, as well as those who are interested in the history of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
