Thanks not least to the consummate sensitivity of their musical settings, the psalm translations by Clement Marot and Theodore de Beze, first published in a complete edition in 1562, were quickly disseminated all over Europe, both in the original French and in numerous translations. In German-speaking countries they had considerable influence on the evolution of modern national literature. This volume assembles the findings of three international conferences on the Geneva Psalter and its reception in the 16th to 18th centuries."
