	Robert Bruce Cotton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Despite his early period of goodwill with James I, during which he was made a baronet, Cotton's politics became anti-royalist in nature and the authorities began to fear the uses of his library, which was confiscated in 1630 and returned only after his death to his heirs.

	Puritan Principle of Worship: Part VIII
		Cotton urges, "That singing of Psalms in the New Testament, is to be dispensed in Christian churches, not only with inward grace in the heart, making melody to the Lord, but also with outward audible lively voice."(76) Cotton replies to various objections raised against the appeal to the Pauline texts.
		Cotton answers that "Singing of Psalms is accompanied and blessed of God (by his grace) with many gracious effects, above nature or art."(77) "Singing of a spiritual song, prepareth to prophecy, by ministering the Spirit, II Kings 3:15.
		Cotton's interpretation of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs as referring exclusively to the inspired compositions found in Holy Scripture is standard Puritan exegesis.

		The first was 'A Narrative of the Fire...and of the Methods used for preserving and recovering the Manuscripts of the Royal and Cottonian libraries',(5) compiled by the Reverend William Whiston the younger, the clerk in charge of the records kept in the Chapter House at Westminster, another notorious firetrap.
		(14) Cotton's pride and joy, the fifth-century Greek Genesis (Otho B. VI), one of the earliest illustrated Christian manuscripts in existence, was reduced to a pile of cinder-like fragments.
		In discussing the collation of any Cotton manuscript which shows signs of severe damage from damp, it is worth remembering that in 1731 the manuscript may have been taken apart and the leaves hung up on washing lines by an illiterate artisan.

	The British Library - Digital Catalogue of Illuminated Manuscripts - Tour
		The psalter contains the text of the Old Testament Book of Psalms, divided up into groups of psalms so that all 150 would be read by a monastic community throughout the course of a week, mainly at the hours of matins and vespers.
		Psalters were often lavishly illuminated, most frequently with images of King David, as a type of author portrait, or with extended cycles of prefatory miniatures.
		The psalter is also the book upon which the medieval Book of Hours is based, and early forms of the horae were often attached to psalters.

		Their relationship and events in their lives are crucial to understanding the psalter; details will be referred to throughout this commentary, so the characters need to be introduced at the start.
		On one occasion a plague of toads invaded the cell and squatted in the middle of her psalter ‘ which lay open on her lap at all hours of the day for her use’ (Talbot, 1998, 99).
		Of these, the most significant for the psalter are the visitations of Christ who once appeared as a pilgrim in her cell, sharing a meal together with her sister Margaret; and another occasion when he joined in her chapel service as a pilgrim and then vanished (Talbot, 1998, 183, 189).

	Alfred the Great’s Burnt Boethius
		Cotton Otho A. vi was one of the many Anglo-Saxon manuscripts first retrieved from the garret sometime after 1825 by then keeper Josiah Forshall.
		Once the Cotton binding and two of the three formerly unrelated texts were destroyed by the fire in 1731, there was no compelling reason, at any rate, to restore it as Cotton Otho A. vi, as if it still were the same book.
		It is remarkable that, proceeding from the practice begun by Christopher Rawlinson at the end of the seventeenth century, all modern editions have printed the Meters separately, as if they made sense as a group outside of their larger context.

	An Introduction to Anglo-Saxon Manuscripts
		Frankish art also contributed some influence (seen, for example, in the independent beasts favoured in southern English illumination such as that in the Vespasian Psalter, which are liberated from the interlace which enmeshed their northern counterparts).
		The apogee of this style is seen in the Benedictional of St Aethelwold, made at Winchester c.971-84, and this led to a primary association with Winchester, although the style is in fact found in other centres associated with the monastic reforms, such as Canterbury.
		The Utrecht Psalter was apparently available as a model, perhaps even in an unbound state, in the Christ Church scriptorium during the early eleventh century.

		The Utrechts Psalter is generally regarded as the most important manuscript from the hey-day of the so-called School of Rheims.
		Each of the 150 psalms and sixteen canticles in the Utrecht Psalter is preceded by a spectacular and dynamic pen drawing that brings the contents to life in a manner astonishing even to modern eyes.
		This concrete and literal kind of visualisation of the texts is found in a number of post-iconoclastic Byzantine psalters with marginal illustrations of the second half of the ninth century.

		The argument is complicated, however, by the script of the Cambridge Psalter, which accords best with the practice of St. Augustine's, Canterbury, an idea which appears to be confirmed by additional glosses in the hand of Eadwig Basan, whose career is associated with Canterbury.
		Cotton Tiberius A.iii, articles 26 and 27, is a valuable contribution to editing techniques which recognizes the importance of an intertextual edition.

		The Psalter reigned supreme in the Reformed churches worldwide, although the argument for it was not a tight exclusive psalmody position as developed later on.
		In 1673 an edition of the Scottish Psalter was published in London with a preface signed by 25 of the leading ministers of the age, including John Owen, Thomas Manton and Joseph Caryl.
		The Psalter was envisaged as the norm of praise, but commonly was not underpinned by an argument for it alone.

		Virdung explains, following the apocryphal letter, that the stand resenib!ing the draughtsmans square represents the Holy Cross, the rectangular object dangling therefrom signifies Christ on the Cross, and the twelve pipes are the twelve apostles.

	The Regular Singing Controversy: The Case Against Lining-Out - The Early America Review - Fall 1997
		Cotton Mather compiled a long list of poetry from the Bible which had been sung during biblical times and was thus suitable for use by God's churches in New England.
		In the final section, "Touching the manner of singing," he advocated the practice of lining-out in churches where psalters were lacking or in which illiteracy was a problem.

		The bulls of the popes of the eighth and ninth centuries were written on cotton card or cotton paper, but no writer called attention to this card, or described it as a new material.
		The card-like cotton paper once made by the Saracens was certainly known in Europe for many years before its utility was recognized.
		Hallam says that the use of this cotton paper was by no means general or frequent, except in Spain or Italy, and perhaps in the south of France, until the end of the fourteenth century.

		And here be it said that down to the time of the invention of printing, the Psalter, or at least a volume containing psalms and portions of the Office with a supplement of miscellaneous prayers, remained the type of the devotional manuals most favoured by the laity.
		At least five psalters of this kind are still in existence, which seem to have belonged to St. Louis of France, more than one of them being clearly of English workmanship, which in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries was very famous.
		The psalter type, however, was not the only form of manual of private devotions which exited in the Carlovingian period.

		The three leaves that Cotton prefixed to his new compilation of the Southwick and Nowell codices in Cotton Vitellius A. xv have caused havoc in the foliation.
		Two new numbers, 147A131 and 189A197, correct the MS foliation by recording the former misplacement (131 and 197) and relocating the leaves in the rest of the foliation 147A (before 147) and 189A (before 189).

		During the mid-sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, psalmody-the singing of psalms according to metrical schemes found in psalters-was the music of devotion and recreation for the inhabitants of the British colonies.
		As a scion of the illustrious Mather dynasty and therefore connected with the Bay Psalm Book, Cotton Mather served as pastor of the Second Church of Boston from 1685 to his death.
		Around 1720, Cotton Mather and other clergymen began issuing tracts advocating the singing of psalms as they were notated instead of "lining out." Musical illiteracy, combined with the improvisatory nature of "lining out," resulted in melodies which often bore little resemblance to the original psalm tune.
