HOLLIS Primo (2026-11-14) records a recent critical edition, 'Alcuini Enchiridion in psalmos', ed. Vera Fravventura (SISMEL, Millennio medievale 112, 2017), and a 1547 Paris print of the work with the seven penitential psalms; both are Latin, and the SISMEL volume is described as a critical edition with no translation. The English-language Alcuin records returned by HOLLIS are biographies, letters and the rhetorical dialogue, and the Corpus Christianorum in Translation query for Alcuin returns nothing relevant. No English translation, complete or partial, was located.
A pastoral handbook expounding the seven penitential psalms, one of the texts through which the Carolingian schools taught penitential spirituality; it survives in many manuscripts. An English reader can reach the psalms it comments on but not Alcuin's reading of them.
