medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I expect there is a simpler explanation for the phrase 'glory of kings', but
I wonder if it is not trying to express the thought of Ps. 20:6 (Vg): magna
gloria eius [sc. regis] in salutari tuo: gloriam et decorem pones super eum,
which perhaps at the same time drawing the phrase (admittedly out of context)
from Prov. 25:2: gloria Dei celare verbum et gloria regum investigare
sermonem.
