Abstract
The Seven Penitential Psalms (6, 31, 37, 50, 101, 129, and 142), long associated with atonement, were ascribed in the Middle Ages to King David. The translation of Psalm 6 in this manuscript may ultimately derive from that of Geert Grote, but is in a German dialect closer to that of a Prayer Book now in Darmstadt, believed to have been produced in Cologne in the mid-fifteenth century.
