Le Jeune, Psalmes ⟨User:Fynnjamin [#19078]

Dear Fynnjamin:

Your "rm" tag is throwing an error. What is it? I don't recognize it. Thanks, B

sorry, I should have considered that - it ought to be Romansh (Rumantsch, rhaeto-romance) language tag.

Are you sure about that? RISM just says plain French, and on the ISO list, there is Rumanisch, which is Romanian. I can't imagine Le Jeune writing psalms in that language. Romansh is specific to a Swiss canton, Grisons, and I can't find evidence that Le Jeune ever lived or worked there. B

Not Le Jeune, but the translation by Lurainz Wietzel (actually a translation of Lobwasser's translation of Marot & de Beze) which I just uploaded. Just as with the Dutch edition by Datheen, there are translations of the psalter which reprinted Le Jeune's settings. That's why the "nl" tag is also present.
I found the code "rm" for Romansh (Rumantsch Grischun) on the ISO list

OK, but the tags are for the original. I will add the extras under the appropriate file as File Tags=

And thanks for the links -- I think I was looking under ISO-2, which for some reason doesn't seem as complete or thorough as the link you gavem ISO . . . 1.

That was a very odd collection. It looks like it's mostly Le Jeune in translation but the supplement has additional items so I followed RISM's lead and added a separate page for it under the compiler (who appears to have been a Swiss Romansch native). Unusual to see something from the 16th century still in use in the 18th.

Yes, those early Protestants were pretty conservative, at least musically speaking. probably best with its own page.
