Notes: The manuscript of the "Paris Psalter" is preserved in the Bibliothèque nationale, Paris, catalogue number "Fonds Latin 8824."  The present edition includes only the psalms given in Anglo-Saxon metrical translation (Psalms 51-150) cf. Introd., p. [vii]-xiii.  The Anglo-Saxon metrical portions of Alfred the Great's translation of "De consolatione philosophiae" of Boethius is from three manuscripts: Ms. Cotton Otho A. VI, in the British Museum, Ms. Bodley 180, and Ms. Junius 12, in the Bodleian Library.  The authorship of the Anglo-Saxon meters of Boethius is not definitely determined, but evidences lead to assigning the work to Alfred the Great.  cf. Introd., p. xxxv-xlviii.
