Mikoron Dávid nagy búsultában

Author: Mihály Kecskeméti Vég

Hungarian Protestant author, 16th century. Little is known of his life. His translation of Psalm 54/55 stands out in its powerful imagery. This translation, made sometime between 1561 and 1567, was used by Zoltán Kodály in his Psalmus Hungaricus (1923). --based on the article in the Hungarian Wikipedia (sources differ as to whether his surname begins with Kecskeméti or with Vég; I have followed huwiki in preferring the former) Go to person page >
