Someone at some point mentioned to me that we had no pointed Psalter available for download, so I must have ordered one with the intent to scan it. It arrived today. This wonderful little treasure from 1916 goes off to the scanner today and come back next week. Especially charming: no copyright notice (for who would dare ask the state to enforce exclusive ownership of the Psalms of David?).
On the copyright issue – historically the King James Bible and the Book of Common Prayer were under Crown Copyright in England and printed under license. Therefore the State did indeed operate a copyright to protect these works.
Waiting with baited breath…
This is pleasing. Any chance Briggs and Frere will be accorded the same treatment???
