Fine and neat article. New and long enough. QPQ done. All paragraphs are in-line sourced. There is a variety of sources that are overwhelmingly off-line, I have to assume good faith regarding copyvio/close paraphrasing. I also have to assume good faith for the fact in the hook which is sourced to an off-line source (in a language I wouldn't be able to read anyway). The ten copies mentioned in the fact is detailed in a table in the article, so it looks very convincing. I am a bit surprised by the phrasing "only ten copies"; since the psalters were published in the 1500s, it doesn't see so strange that there are no more than 10 copies that still exist and the word "only" is not used in the article. I am proposing an alternate hook:- ALT I... that ten copies of the Goražde Psalter (page pictured), printed in 1521, are known to exist today?
- Picture is out of copyright due to age. I find the article good to go. Regards, Iselilja (talk) 15:38, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for your kind words about the article. If I may stray from the topic, I congratulate you for your beautiful user page :) I agree with the change you proposed, that is, omitting "only" from the hook. So, ALT I is the way to go. Maybe I included "only" because I read somewhere the the psalter is a typographical rarity. Actually, the "10 copies" part can be seen here, and "1521" can be seen here (references Nemirovskij 2008, pp. 123–24 and Barać 2008, pp. 41–44), but these pages are in Serbian.
