Robson

PSALTERIUM GEORGIANUM. George’s Harp.

History. Formed by Abbé Hell in 1781 in honor of George II of England, but now obsolete. It lies between the forefeet of Taurus and Eridanus. In the horoscope of George II the Sun and Venus were conjoined in Scorpio in opposition to this constellation.

Influence. It is said to give a harmonious and artistic nature together with joviality and kindness. ^[2]

Allen

Psalterium Georgii or Georgianum, sometimes Harpa Georgii, was formed in 1781 by the Abbé Maximilian Hell, and named in honor of King George II of England. On the Stieler Planisphere it is Georg’s Harfe, from Bode’s Georgs Harffe.

It lies between the fore feet of Taurus and the River Eridanus, its stars all very inconspicuous, unless it be the 4½‑magnitude ο² Eridani, which was borrowed for its formation. But the loan has been returned, for Psalterium is not now recognized by astronomers. ^[3]
