Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - INTRODUCTION Originally the following Corpus Hymnorum was not intended to be a selection, but was to include all those hymns and just those hymns that, to the best of my judgment, were not only written but also sung in church before about the year of our Lord 600; this judgment being based on such ancient documents as have come within my ken in the course of an investigation carried on for more than twenty years. The hymns must have been actually sung: otherwise they would have been nothing more than sacred poems. And having been written at that early period they could fairly be called patristic, and so appear in a series of Patristic Texts. This has proved to be a good working rule, but certain considerations have made it impossible to keep strictly to the letter of it in every case. -- For in the first place not all hymns can by the utmost stretch of charity be said to be good enough to claim admission within a limited space. This may be a truism, but its practical result is for our purpose important. Thus, while it would have been undesirable to leave out Ennodius altogether, it has been deemed sufficient to give, by way of a specimen, only one of his laboured and unpoetical hymns, the one given as 32 below, lam Christus ascendit polum. In like manner only Squalent arua soli puluere multo has been here printed (hymn 127) without its fellow Obduxere polum nubila caeli, although both are almost certainly by the same hymnist, and ancient, being indeed attributed by Bede to the father of church song himself, St Ambrose.
