The Hamilton Psalter (Breviario Greco, with illuminations, 4to MS on velum [Ham. 119]) is an illustrated manuscript that consists of Psalms 1-150 and twelve canonical Odes. It is most notable among Byzantine manuscripts due to being one of the few surviving bilingual manuscripts from the Byzantine era, written primarily in Greek and Latin. There’s no sole author of the manuscript but it’s in fact a compilation of multiple scribes' writing.
Its name is derived from being a part of the Hamilton Collection, arranged to be purchased from Alexander Hamilton (10th Duke of Hamilton) in 1882 by Wilhelm von Bode and Karl Friedrich Lippmann for the Royal Library in Berlin. It is currently housed within the Staatliche Museen Preussischer Kulturbesitz, Kupferstichkabinett Berlin.[1][2][3]
