The Southampton Psalter (Cambridge St John's College MS C.9) is an illuminated manuscript from Ireland. It is asserted by some to be from ninth-century in date, while other scholars have argued for a tenth- or even early eleventh-century dating. It has high-grade illumination and also contains numerous annotations in both Latin and Old Irish.
In the tradition of Irish psalters, the 150 psalms are divided into three groups of fifty, each headed by a full-page miniature facing a text page with decorated initial and border. The figures in the miniatures are highly stylised in the tradition of Irish manuscripts at this time, and painted in a palette of yellow, purple and red.
