Excerpt from Early Latin Hymns: With Introduction and Notes
In two things I have departed from Mr Walpole's intention. The first is in regard to textual criticism. I have explained in the section on the Text what resolu tion he had come to, and why it seemed to me unsatis factory. The second point concerns the contents. Mr Walpole designed to give m an appendix, without note or comment, a number of Latin hymns which did not come into the definition which governed his choice of the 127 here presented. A good many of them were pieces of Prudentius, like 0 sola magnamm urbz'um and Qui cumgue Ckm'stzzm which were not, so far as we know, used as hymns in ancient days. Others were well known hymns like Exullel caelum laudz'bm, and Alleluia dulce cam/zen, about which it seemed to be necessary to explain why they were not in the body of the book.

Excerpt from Early Latin Hymns: With Introduction and Notes
Mr. A. S. Walpole died February 20, 1920.A few days before his death he sent me all his notes for the present book, with the request that I would prepare the book for publication and see it through the press. In some ways this was not difficult for me to do. For more than twenty years we had worked at the hymns together. Again and again I had been allowed to go at leisure through the successive drafts of his commentary, criticizing and suggesting, so that I was fairly acquainted with his final views on almost every point of interpretation. A few notes of my own have been added which Mr Walpole had not seen. They are distinguished by being enclosed in square brackets. But for the most part the book represents what Mr Walpole himself had written and approved, and my editorial task has been confined to final arrangements and adjustments.
Nevertheless it is a matter for great regret that Mr Walpole did not live to see the work through for himself. He was a scholar who had read deep and wide in Latin literature. He had taken immense pains over this work. In order, for instance, to judge of the authorship of the hymns attributed to St Ambrose, he had read through the whole of that author's prose works, marking every feature of his thought and every peculiarity of his diction and style. So he did with other authors. He was always learning something fresh to throw light upon the hymns. He wrote the whole series out at least half a dozen times in his clear, strong hand. So many volumes of his notes remain that the chief embarrassment has been to co ordinate them.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the world of early Latin hymns, specifically those composed and sung in churches before the year 600 AD. It offers a curated collection of 127 hymns, meticulously selected based on their historical significance and liturgical use. The author's extensive research involved a deep dive into Latin literature and the works of renowned hymn writers like St. Ambrose, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the hymns' authorship, context, and stylistic nuances. The hymns are categorized into two main groups: those with identifiable authors and those that remain anonymous. The book sheds light on the evolution of hymnals, contrasting the "Old Hymnal" used during the 6th century with the "Later Hymnal" that eventually replaced it. It explores the fascinating disappearance of the Old Hymnal and the rise of its successor, along with the enduring legacy of certain hymns, particularly those penned by St. Ambrose. Beyond the historical and liturgical aspects, the book delves into the thematic richness of these early Christian hymns. Readers will encounter profound reflections on faith, redemption, the life of Christ, and the mysteries of the divine. The hymns' poetic language and imagery offer a window into the spiritual landscape of the early Church, revealing the hopes, fears, and beliefs that shaped Christian worship during this pivotal era. Ultimately, this book illuminates the enduring power of early Latin hymns, showcasing their profound impact on Christian liturgy, theology, and devotion.
