The Christian monks and ascetics of pre-Islamic Arabia may be associated in pre-Islamic Arabic poetry with texts called mazmour, which in other contexts may refer to palm leaf documents.[2] This has been interpreted by some as referring to psalters.[3]
Among many Christians in the Middle East and in South Asia, the word mazmour (Hindustani مزمور (Nastaʿlīq), ज़बूर (Devanagari)) is used for the Psalms of David in the Hebrew Bible.
