Description:
Kingo, Th[omas]. Den forordnede Ny Kirke-Psalme-Bog, [Copenhagen, 1723]. Contemporary silk over wooden boards, marbled end-papers, silver clasps and decorations to upper and lower boards. Extensively annotated to front and back end papers with family birth, death and baptism dates; the earliest being 1630-1701 and the last being dated 1926. A narrow edition of the Danish psalm book by the bishop Thomas Hansen Kingo (1634-1703), whose hymn-writing marks a climax in Baroque spiritual poetry in Denmark. The first half of the volume includes psalms for the whole Christian year, while the second features other religious texts with separate title-pages.
