In the recent edition of Maximus the Greek’s original works (2008-2014), editor N. Sinicyna identified 312 quotations from the Psalter. The present study considers the two texts that contain the largest number of quotations, one from the first period (the First Missive to Karpov against Astrology, c. 1523), and one from the second period (the Didactic Chapters for Those Who Righteously Rule, c. 1547), in order to capture the evolution and/or continuity in Maximus’ use of the Psalter text as his scholarly activities were progressing. I have analyzed in detail the 16 quotations, in which significant lexical variation occurs, comparing them with the Church Slavonic tradition, particularly the translation of the Psalter made by Maximus himself in 1552.
