Souterliedekens, a Dutch medieval term for Psalms, were much used in the 16th-century Reformation period. "The Souterliedekens, though intended for the use of the Catholics, form the transition to the congregational singing of the Reformed" (Wolkan). A well-known edition was the one published at Antwerp, Belgium, in 1540 under the title Souterliedekens, Ghemaeckt ter eeren Gods op alle die Psalmen van David: tot stichtinghe ende een gheestelijcke vermakjnghe van allen Christen menschen. This edition was reprinted more than 30 times under a variety of titles, the last reprint having been published in 1652 by Karel de Fleger (Vlieger), a Mennonite printer at Hamburg, Germany.
Though the early Dutch Anabaptists knew the "souterliedekens" and some martyrs are said to have sung a "souterlieken," these Psalms were apparently not popular among the Anabaptists: the reason may have been that the "souterliedekens" had come from Catholicism, with which they wished to make a complete break. They preferred to sing the "liedekens" (songs) written by or in honor of the martyrs, and it was not before the publication of the <em>Lietboeck</em> of Hans de Ries in 1582, which contained some Psalms, that singing of Psalms was introduced in at least a number of Mennonite congregations. (See also Psalms and Hymnology.)
