The Latin Hymn-writers and Their Hymns :: CHAPTER XXXII. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES.

CHAPTER XXXII. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES.

The first sources of the Latin hymns and sequences are the manuscript and printed breviaries and missals of the Western Church. Both these have been explored by the collectors from Clichtove to Kehrein, although it cannot be said that the examination has been exhaustive either as regards the manuscripts or the printed books.

The following is an approximate list of the printed breviaries which have been examined by modern collectors:

Of lesser church-books Zabuesnig has used the Processionale of the Dominicans or Preachers, and Newman that of the Church of York. Morel has drawn upon the Paris Horae of 1519, and Daniel on the Cantionale of Konstanz of 1607.

Yet this shows that either only a minority of the printed church-books of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries have been examined, or else that the majority yielded nothing new in return for such examination.

We proceed with the bibliography of the collections and the historical treatises and discussions which bear on Latin Hymnology, together with the most important volumes of translations. These we shall give in chronological order, and where the initials S. W. D. are appended to the comments, it will be understood that these are by Mr. Duffield, not by his editor. The numbers marked with an asterisk (*) indicate works employed in the preparation of the present volume.

1. Sequentiarum Textus cum optimo Commento. (S. l. e. a.): Printed at Koeln (Cologne) by Henry Quentell in 1492 or 1494. The following is bound up with the early editions of this as a kind of appendix, but afterward frequently printed by itself.
2. Expositio Hymnorum cum notabili [seu familiari] Commento. (S. l. e. a.): Also printed at Koeln by Henry Quentell in 1492 or 1494, and 1506. Later editions are: Hagenau, 1493; Basil, 1504; Koeln, 1596; and many others.; For the full reference, vide Daniel, I.: xvii. There were many of these, and the most famous was long regarded as indispensable to the study of the Latin hymns. It is that of Clichtove. S.W.D.
3. Liber hymnorum in metra noviter redactorum. Apologia et defensio poeticae ac oratoriae maiestatis. Brevis expositio difficilium terminorum in hymnis ab aliis parum probe et erudite forsan interpretatorum per Henricum Bebelium I ustingensem edita poeticam et humaniores litteras publice profitentem in gymnasio Tubingensi. Annotationes eiusdem in quasdam vocabulorum interpretationes Mammetracti. Thubingen, 1501.: Henry Bebel was a humanist, and became professor at TÜbingen in 1497. Zapf published a biography of him at Augsburg in 1801.
4. Hymni et Sequentiae cum diligenti difficillimorum vocabulorum interpretatione omnibus et scholasticis et ecclesiasticis cognitu necessaria Hermanni Torrentini de omnibus puritatis lingue latine studiosis quam optime meriti.—Coloniae, MCCCCCXIII.: Daniel says that a second edition (1550, 1536?) has so closely followed Clichtoveus that the first edition only is worthy of note.; Hermann Torrentinus was a native of Zwolle, and belonged to the Brotherhood of the Common Life. He was professor at Groningen about 1490, and lived until about 1520. He was one of the group which gathered around John Wessel Gansfort, in whom Luther recognized a kindred spirit.
5. De tempore et sanctis per totum annum hymnarius in metra ut ab Ambrosio, Sedulio, Prudentio ceterisque doctoribus hymni sunt compositi. Groningen phrisie iam noviter redactus incipit feliciter.
6. Psalterium Davidis adiunctis hymnis felicem habet finem opera et impensis Melchior Lotters ducalis opidi Liptzensis concivis Anno Milesimo quingentesimo undecimo XVIII die Aprilis [1511].
7.* Iodoci Clichtovaei Elucidatorium ecclesiasticum ad Officium Ecclesiae pertinentia planius exponens et quatuor Libros complectens. Primus Hymnos de Tempore et Sanctis per totum Annum. Secundus nonnulla Cantica, Antiphonas et Responsaria. Tertius ea quae ad Missae pertinet Officium, praesertim Praefationes. Quartus Prosas quae in sancti Altaris Sacrificio dicuntur continet. Paris, 1515; Basil, 1517 and 1519; Venice, 1555; Paris, 1556; Koeln, 1732.: The best book of its time on the subject, and long indispensable to the hymnologist. Josse Clichtove was a Flemish theologian. He studied at Paris under the famous Lefevre d’Etaples, and enjoyed the friendship of Erasmus. He was a zealous opponent of Luther. He died in 1543. The Venice edition of his Elucidatorium—Hymni et Prosae, quae per totum Annum in EcclesiÂ leguntur—is much altered, and contains additional hymns from Italian, French, and Hungarian Breviaries, while it also omits others given by Clichtove.
8. Hymni de tempore et de sanctis in eam formam qua a suis autoribus scripti sunt denuo redacti et secundum legem carminis diligenter emendati atque interpretati. Anno Domini, MDXIX.: Jacob Wimpheling is the editor. He was an eminent theologian and humanist of Strasburg, and the first to edit Rabanus Maurus’s De Laudibus Sanctae Crucis. Already in 1499 he had published a tract: De Hymnorum et Sequentiarum Auctoribus Generibusque Carminum quae in Hymnis inveniuntur. One authority gives 1511 as the date of his Hymni.
9. Sequentiarum luculenta interpretatio nedum scholasticis sed et ecclesiasticis cognitu necessaria per Ioannem Adelphum physicum Argentinensem collecta. Anno Domini, MDXIX.
10. Jakob van Meyer: Hymni aliquot ecclesiastici et Carmina Pia. Louvain, 1537.

13.* Hymni ecclesiastici praesertim qui Ambrosiani dicuntur multis in locis recogniti et multorum hymnorum accessione locupletati. Cum Scholiis opportunis in locis adjectis et Hymnorum indice Georgii Cassandri. Et, Beda de Metrorum generibus ex primo libra de re metrica. Coloniae Anno MDLVI.: This was reprinted in Cassander’s Works (Parisiis, 1616). Cassander was a Catholic, who sympathized with the Reformation, and his book was prohibited by the Roman Catholic Church. “In Romana ecclesia liber est vetitus,” says Daniel. With the drawback that his knowledge and opportunities were limited by the age in which he lived, it can still be said that this is a very valuable and helpful collection—the scholarly work of an earnest man. S. W. D.
14. Cantiones Ecclesiasticae Latinae ac Synceriores quaedam praeculae Dominicis & Festis Diebus in Commemoratione Cenae Domini, per totius Anni Circulum cantandae ac perlegendae. Per Johannem Spangenbergium Ecclesiae Northusianae inspectorem. Magdeburg, 1543.

15b. Pia quaedam vetustissima Poemata, partim Anti-Christum, ejusque spirituales Filiolos insectantia, partim etiam Christum, ejusque beneficium mira spiritus alacritate celebrantia. Cum praefatione Matthiae Flacii Illyrici. Magdeburg, 1552.
15c. Varia Doctorum Piorumque Virorum de Corrupto Statu Ecclesiae Poemata. Ante nostram aetatem conscripta, ex quibus multa historiae quoque utiliter ac summa cum voluptate cognosci possunt. Cum Praefatione Matthiae Flacii Illyrici. Magdeburg, 1556. Reprinted 1754.: These three collections are of importance to the hymnologist. From the first Wackernagel has extracted a number of fine hymns. The third contains Bernard of Cluny’s De Contemptu Mundi.
16. Hymni aliquot sacri veterum Patrum una cum eorum simplici Paraphrasi, brevibus argumentis, singulis Carminum generibus, & concinnis Melodijs ... Collectore Georgio Thymo. Goslar, 1552.

20.* Poetarum Veterum Ecclesiasticorum Opera Christiana et operum reliquiae atque fragmenta. Thesaurus catholicae et orthodoxae ecclesiae et antiquitatis religiosae ad utilitatem iuventutis scholasticae, collectus, emendatus, digestus et commentario quoque expositus diligentia et studio Georgii Fabricii Chemnicensis. Basileae per Ioannem Oporinum MDLXIIII.: A second edition in 1572. George Fabricius, of Chemnitz, besides editing this important book, was the most prolific writer of Latin hymns the Lutheran Church possessed.
21. Johann Leisentrit: Geistliche Lieder und Psalmen der alten Apostolischer recht und warglaubiger Christlicher Kirchen. 2 parts. Budissin, 1567.: Used by Wackernagel. Although Leisentrit was the Roman Catholic dean of Budissin, his first part seems to have been censured as of Protestant tendency. The second is made up of hymns to Mary and the Saints. This part was reprinted in 1573 and 1584.
22. Cantica Selecta Veteris Novique Testamenti cum Hymnis et Collectis seu orationibus purioribus quae in orthodoxa atque catholica ecclesia cantari solent.

25. Hymnorum Ecclesiasticorum ab Andrea Ellingero V. Cl. emendatorum libri III, etc. MDLXXVIII. Francofurti ad moenum.: Daniel calls this the most ample of all the collections, but he criticises the first two volumes severely for their arrangement, and the changes in text made for metrical reasons. The third volume he was able to use, but he felt unsafe in the others except when the editor positively stated in his notes what he considered the original and genuine text. S. W. D.
26. Joh. Holthusius: Compendium Cantionum ecclesiasticarum. Augsburg, 1579.
27. In hymnos ecclesiasticos ferme omnes Michaelis Timothei Gatensis brevis elucidatio. Venetiae, 1582.

29. Lorenza Strozzi: In singula totius Anni Solemnia Hymni. Florence, 1588.: These hymns were adopted into the service-books of several dioceses, and were translated into French by Pavillon, and set to music by Maduit. The author was a Dominican nun of the famous Strozzi family.

Daniel gives this book the palm among the Lutheran collections of the Latin hymns. Its author also published a Missale, and died in 1606.
33. Divorum patrum et doctorum ecclesiae qui oratione ligata scripserunt Paraphrases et Meditationes in Evangelia dominicalia e diversis ipsorum scriptis collectae a. M. Ioach. Zehnero ecclesiae Schleusingensis pastore et Superintendente. Lipsiae, 1602, sumptibus Thomae Schureri.: “Liber utilissimus,” Daniel. The author was a Protestant, and a diligent student of the old hymns. S. W. D.
34.* Bernardi Morlanensis Monachi ordinis Cluniacensis De Vanitate Mundi, et GloriÂ Caelesti, Liber Aureus. Item alij ejusdem Libri Tres Ejusdem fermÈ Argumenti, Quibus cum primis in Curiae Romanae & Cleri horrenda scelera stylo Satyrico carmine Rhithmico Dactylico miro artificio ante annos fermÈ quingentos elaborato, gravissime invehitur. Editi recens, et plurimis locis emendati, studio & opera Eilh. Lubini. Rostochii, Typis Reusnerianis, Anno MDCX.: One hundred and twenty unnumbered pages in duodecimo, of which three are filled by a dedicatory letter to Matthias Matthiae, Lutheran pastor at Schwensdorf. Professor Lubinus gives no account of the sources of his edition, but says of Bernard: “Vixit hic Bernardus Anno Christo 1130. Scripsit colloquium Gabrielis & Mariae. Item hosce, quos jam edimus, & non paucis locis correximus, libros.”

43.* Josephi Mariae Thomasii S.R.E. Cardinalis Opera omnia.—Rome, 1741, in 6 vols., folio, and 1747 et seq. in 12 vols., 4to. (The Hymnarium is found in pages 351-434 of Vol. II., in the 4to edition.): “This book,” remarks Daniel, “is sufficiently rare in Germany, but the editor of sacred hymns can by no means do without it.” The reason is that Thomasius had access to the Vatican MSS., and was therefore able to unearth many rare and valuable texts. He also designated the probable authorship of a goodly number of the hymns—not always correctly, but usually with considerable truth. S. W. D.

51.* Anthologie christlicher GesÄnge aus allen Jahrhunderten der Kirche nach der Zeitfolge geordnet und mit geschichtlichen Bemerkungen begleitet. Von Aug. Jak. Rambach. 6 vols. Altona, 1817-33.: The first volume is occupied with the early and Middle Ages of the Church, especially the Latin Hymns, the texts being given with translations and notes. It merits the high praise Daniel gives it: studia praeclara Rambachii. S. W. D.
52. M. F. Jack: Psalmen und GesÄnge, nebst den Hymnen der Ältesten Kirche, uebersetzt. 2 vols. Freiburg, 1817.: Other German-Catholic translators are George Witzel (1550), a MÖnch of Hildesheim (1776), F. X. Jahn (1785), F. J. Weinzerl (1817 and 1821), J. Aigner (1825), Casper Ett (1837), A.

His selection is confined to the very early writers: Victorinus, Damasus, Ambrose and his school, Prudentius (the Kathemerinon), and Paulinus of Nola. He has a good introduction and notes.
54.* Adolf Ludewig Follen: Alte christliche Lieder und KirchengesÄnge teutsch und lateinisch, nebst einem Anhange. Elberfeld, 1819.: Chiefly hymns of the later Middle Ages or by the Jesuits. The author, who was a brother of Professor Follen of Harvard, ascribes the Dies Irae to Malabranca, 1278, Bishop of Ostia, and accepts the Requiescat a labore as a funeral hymn actually sung by Heloise and her nuns over Abelard.; Other German-Protestant translators, besides those given in this list at their proper places, are H.

66b.* Bishop Richard Mant: Ancient Hymns from the Roman Breviary. London, 1837. New edition, 1871 (272 pages).: Dr. Mant was Bishop of Down and Connor in the Irish Established Church, and died November 2d, 1848. He was an original Latin poet of some note, and a writer of English hymns.
67.* (J. H. Newman:) Hymni Ecclesiae. Pars I., e Breviario Parisiensi; Pars II., e Breviariis Romano, Sarisburiensi, Eboracensi et aliunde. Oxford, 1838.: A new edition, London, 1865.; This collection, sometimes known as the Oxford Hymns, was prepared by Cardinal Newman while he was still a presbyter of the Anglican Church, and exhibits everywhere his cultivated taste. Many of the hymns it includes are not to be found in other collections. This is especially true of the hymns from the Paris Breviary of 1736, which make up half the book. S. W. D.
68.* Rev. Isaac Williams: Hymns translated from the Paris Breviary. London, 1839.: These translations had already appeared in The British Magazine about 1830. Mr. Williams takes rank next after Keble among the poets of the Tractarian movement. He died in 1865.

72.* Hermann Adalbert Daniel: Hymnologischer BlÜthenstrauss aus dem Gebiete alt-lateinischer Kirchenpoesie. 12mo. Halle, 1840.: Professor Daniel’s first appearance in a field in which he still is the highest authority. Besides his Thesaurus and this little precursor to it, and the dissertation mentioned below, he labored in German hymnology, editing an Evangelisches Kirchen-Gesangbuch in 1842, and Zinzendorf’s hymns in 1851. He also took part in the preparation of the standard German hymn-book of the Eisenach Conference, which is intended to put an end to the unlimited variety of hymn-books in the local churches of Germany. For Ersch and Gruber’s huge EncyclopÄdie, he wrote the article “Gesangbuch,” which is reprinted in his Zerstreute BlÄtter (Halle, 1840). And besides all this he published in 1847-53 a Codex Liturgicus Ecclesiae Universae, and was a leading authority in Pedagogics and in Geography.

74.* Hermann Adalbert Daniel: Thesaurus Hymnologicus sive hymnorum canticorum sequentiarum circa annum MD usitatarum collectio amplissima. Carmina collegit, apparatu critico ornavit, veterum interpretum notas selectas suasque adiecit. V Tomi. Leipzig, 1841-56.: Still the chief text-book for the student of Latin hymnology. Vols. I. (1841) and IV. (1855) contain the Hymns. Vols. II. (1844) and V. (1856), the Sequences. Vol. III. (1846), Hymns of the Greek and Syrian Churches. To Vol. V. Dr. Neale contributes a Latin introduction on the nature of the Sequence.; In the two last volumes Daniel uses freely and with acknowledgment the labors especially of Mone and Neale. The fifth volume contains also indices to all five volumes by first lines, and also a topical index. The worst defect of the book is the poorness of this latter. Next to that is its author’s very insufficient preparation for his work when he published his two first volumes; but that probably was unavoidable. Vols. IV. and V. show how much he had grown in his mastery of his field of labor. But his learning and his care give his book a place inferior to none.
75.* K. E. P. Wackernagel: Das Deutsche Kirchenlied von Martin Luther bis auf Nicolaus Herman und Ambrosius Blaurer. Stuttgart, 1841.: Wackernagel’s first and shorter work. Recognizing in the Latin hymns the starting-point of German hymnology, he begins his book with thirty-seven pages of Latin hymns and sequences, taken mostly from Lossius and Rambach, with some from the Hymni et Collectae of 1585.

76a.* EdÉlestand du Meril: Poesies populaires latines anterieures au douziÈme siÈcle. Paris, 1843.: This book, like the similar work of Thomas Aldis Wright, contains the popular Latin poetry of the Middle Ages previous to the twelfth century. But it also contains the first part of the hymns of Abelard, and it is from this volume that Trench and March took their examples of his poetry. The later discovery of the entire hymnarium prepared for the Abbey of the Paraclete emphasizes the importance of De Meril’s researches. S. W. D.
76b. EdÉlestand du Meril: Poesies populaires latines du Moyen Age. Paris, 1847.: A continuation of his first work of 1843. Both are used freely by Daniel in his later volumes and by Mone.

78.* C. Fortlage: GesÄnge Christl. Vorzeit. Auswahl der vorzÜglichsten aus den Griechischen und Lateinischen Übersetzt. Berlin, 1844.
78a.* (John Williams): Ancient Hymns of Holy Church. Pp. 128, 12mo. Hartford, 1845.: Contains original translations of forty Latin hymns, mostly Ambrosian and other early hymns in the abbreviated versions of the Roman Breviary. Twenty-two of Isaac Williams’s translations of hymns from the Paris Breviary are appended. The author was at the time rector of St. George’s church in Schenectady, and in 1851 became bishop of Connecticut.
79.* K. I. Simrock: Lauda Syon, altchristliche Kirchenlieder und geistliche Gedichte, lateinisch und deutsch. KÖln, 1846.: A second edition in 1868. One of the most eminent Germanists, and an extremely felicitous translator (1802-76).
80.* G. A. KÖnigsfeld: Lateinische Hymnen und GesÄnge aus dem Mittelalter, deutsch, unter Beibehaltung der Versmasse. Nebst Einleitung und Anmerkungen; unter brieflicher Bemerkungen und Uebersetzungen von A. W. Schlegel. Bonn, 1847.: An admirably done piece of work. Specimens from twenty-five authors, with twenty anonymous hymns chiefly of the J esuit school. A second series in 1865.
81.* Richard Chenevix Trench: Sacred Latin Poetry. London, 1849. Second edition, 1864; third edition, 1878.: Archbishop Trench’s little book has had a wide popularity, and many persons have been induced by it to take a deeper interest in the subject. But it is disfigured by its arrangement, which excludes everything that cannot be safely employed by Protestants. Lines are omitted from Hildebert; the Stabat Mater of Jacoponus is absent, and the Pange lingua of Aquinas is also missing. Moreover the notes, which have been easily prepared from Latin sources, are scarcely satisfactory. Yet, take it for all in all, it is a volume that may be highly commended, for the archbishop is a poet, and has a poet’s appreciation of the beautiful. We are indebted to him for hymns from Marbod, Mauburn, W. Alard, Balde, Pistor, and Alan of Lisle, which are not readily found. S. W. D.; There is much in the recent biography of Archbishop Trench which is of interest to hymnologists, especially his correspondence with Dr. Neale.
82a.* Edward Caswall: Lyra Catholica: containing all the Hymns of the Roman Breviary and Missal, with others from various Sources. London, 1849; New York, 1851. New edition, London, 1884.: Mr. Caswall was one of the clergymen who left the Church of England for the Roman communion with Dr. Newman. Some of his translations, especially of Bernard of Clairvaux, are among the most felicitous in the language. The American edition has an Appendix of “Hymns, Anthems, etc., appropriate to particular occasions of devotion.” It is this edition which has been abridged in the first volume of the Hymns of the Ages (1858).
82b. J. R. Beste: Church Hymns in English, that may be sung to the old church music. With approbation. London, 1849.
83.* D. Ozanam: Documents inedits pour servir a l’Histoire litteraire de l’Italie depuis le VIIIe Siecle jusq’au XIIIe. Paris, 1850.: Pages 221-57 is an account of a collection of two hundred and forty-three Latin hymns found in a Vatican manuscript, which he assigns to the ninth century, and to the Benedictines of Central Italy. He prints those not found in Daniel. Reprinted in Migne’s Patrologia: 151; 813ff.
84. Hymnale secundum Usum insignis et praeclarae Ecclesiae Sarisburiensis. Littlemore, 1850.
85.* Hymnarium Sarisburense, cum Rubricis et Notis Musicis. Variae inseruntur lectiones Codicum MSS. Anglicorum, cum iis quae a Geo. Cassandro, J. Clichtoveo, J. M. Thomasio, H. A. Daniel, e Codd. Germanis, Gallicis, Italis, erutae sunt. Accedunt etiam Hymni et Rubricae e Libris secundum usus Ecclesiarum Cantuariensis, Eboracensis, Wigornensis, Herefordensis, Gloucestrensis, aliisque Codd. MSS. Anglicanis excerpti. Pars prima. London and Cambridge, 1851.: Gives hymns and various readings from twenty-six English manuscripts.
86.* Joseph Stevenson: Latin Hymns of the Anglo-Saxon Church; with an Interlinear Anglo-Saxon Gloss, from a Manuscript of the Eleventh Century in Durham Library. Edited for the Surtees Society. London and Durham, 1851.: Of some value as showing what hymns were used in the early English Church, before the Norman Conquest. The gloss is not Northumbrian, as might be supposed from its being found in the Library of the Dean and Chapter of Durham, but West-Saxon, probably from Winchester.
86b. Boetticher: Hymns of the old Catholic Church of England. Halle, 1851.
87.* Joh. F. H. Schlosser: Die Kirche in ihren Liedern durch all Jahrhunderte. 2 vols. Mainz, 1851-52. Second edition. Freiburg, 1863.: Translations without texts, but some valuable notes, especially to later hymns. The first volume is devoted to the Latin hymns, and contains the beautiful fragment of a lost sequence which Schlosser heard from his brother in 1812. It represents the Apostle Paul weeping over the grave of Virgil at Puteoli:

Ad Maronis mausoleum

Ductus, fudit super eum

Piae rorem lachrymae:

Quantum, inquit, te fecissem,

Vivum si te invenissem,

Poetarum maxime.

Dean Stanley has translated it.

88d.* J. M. Neale and Thos. Helmore: A Hymnal Noted; or Translations of the Ancient Hymns of the Church set to their proper Melodies. London, 1852.: These four volumes are the first of Dr. Neale’s; but in the pages of the Ecclesiologist, both before and after this, he was collecting and publishing unnoticed sequences from English and Continental sources.
89.* Card. Angelo Mai: Nova Patrum Bibliotheca. 6 vols. Rome, 1852-53.: Vol. I. (Part II, pp. 199 et seq.) contains unpublished hymns supplementary to Thomasius.
90.* F. J. Mone: Lateinische Hymnen des Mittelalters, aus Handschriften herausgegeben und erklÄrt. In Drei BÄnde: I, Gott und die Engel; II, Marienlieder; III, Heiligenlieder. 3 Vols. Freiburg, 1853.: Mone’s book appeared while Daniel’s Thesaurus was in process of publication. The value of it is in its arrangement, for it groups the hymns, “To God and the Angels,” “To Mary,” and “To the Saints,” in three separate volumes, and with some regard to dates. It also furnishes many hymns and sequences never previously published. It is deficient in taste, and very Roman Catholic in its ideas. Several of the best known hymns—for example, the Dies Irae—are not found in it. Daniel 5:5 gives in a footnote a list of these delinquencies, embracing sixty of the most ancient and celebrated hymns and sequences. Aside from this, Mone is a careful and admirable editor. His pages are well printed, and the notes are in German instead of Latin. Mone was “Director of Archives” at Carlsruhe, and died March 12th, 1871. S. W. D.

106.* Dies Irae in Thirteen Original Versions by Abraham Coles, M.D., Ph.D. New York, 1859. Fourth edition, 1866.: Dr. Coles is a practising physician of Newark, N. J., who has translated the Dies Irae some sixteen or seventeen times, and has also given versions of the Stabat Mater, the Rhythm of Bernard of Cluny, and other hymns. The merit of these translations is slight; but one of the renderings of the Dies Irae was introduced into the Plymouth Collection of Hymns and Tunes, and two stanzas gained currency through Mrs. Stowe’s novel of Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Dr. Coles has also compared the Mantuan and Roman texts of the Dies Irae, and has given the results of his investigation. His book has passed through four or five editions. S. W. D.

115.* Philipp Wackernagel: Das deutsche Kirchenlied von der Ältesten Zeit bis zu Anfang des siebenzehnten Jahrhunderts. 5 vols. Leipzig, 1864-77.: This is the greatest work except Koch’s (which is more recent) upon German hymns. In the first volume, which contains Latin hymns only, we find many originals, and some texts which have been printed from MSS. sources. Hymns by Protestants are included. The order is chronological. The notes are extremely valuable. S. W. D.
116.* Edward Hobein: Buch der Hymnen. Aeltere Kirchenlieder, aus dem Lateinischen Übertragen. Schwerin, 1864.: The Latin text (sixty-seven hymns) at the foot of the page. The order is chronological. A second edition in 1870.
117.* G. A. KÖnigsfeld: Lateinische Hymnen und GesÄnge aus dem Mittelalter. Bonn, 1865.: This, with the selection of 1847, contitutes a most admirable anthology of texts translated into German verse, and with notes and brief biographies. KÖnigsfeld is substantially accurate, but he does not attempt anything very deep or original. The second volume contains a commendatory letter from the Emperor of Germany. S. W. D.
118a.* Abraham Coles: Stabat Mater: Hymn of the Sorrows of Mary, translated. New York, 1865.
118b.* Abraham Coles: Old Gems in new Settings, comprising the choicest of the Mediaeval Hymns, with original Translations.

These two books and the author’s versions of the Dies Irae appeared in one volume in New York, 1867.
119.* Seven Great Hymns of the Mediaeval Church. New York, 1865.: This collection, made by Judge Noyes, includes Dr. Neale’s translation from Bernard of Cluny, English versions of the Dies Irae, the Mater Speciosa, the Stabat Mater, the Veni Sancte, the Veni Creator, and the Vexilla Regis. The originals are given. The book, though quite small, has been extremely popular, and there have been some seven editions. S. W. D.

Stuttgart, 1866-69.: It is in this last edition that Koch gives considerable space to the Latin hymns, which got about fifty pages in his second edition, in 4 volumes, 1852-53.
126.* Samuel W. Duffield: The Heavenly Land, from the De Contemptu Mundi of Bernard de Morlaix, monk of Cluny (XIIth century), rendered into corresponding English verse. New York, 1867.: This was the first attempt to render the cento prepared by Trench into the rhythm of the original.
127.* Erastus C. Benedict: The Hymn of Hildebert and other Mediaeval Hymns, with Translations. New York, 1867.: Chancellor Benedict (ob. 1878) was a judge in New York, equally respected for his attainments as a jurist and his character as a man and a Christian. This volume contains seventeen hymns, with translations, including three of the Dies Irae. He contributed many others to the columns of the Christian Intelligencer, including a translation of the long hymn, or rather series of hymns, on the Epiphany by Prudentius.
128.* Hermann Adalbert Daniel: Die Kirchweih-Hymnen Christe cunctorum Dominator alme. Urbs beata Hirusalem. Pp. 24, great quarto. Halle, 1867.: A defence of his view that the former hymn was not written for a church dedication, but had been converted to that use by adding three verses. It is in reply to a dissertation by Professor Hugo LÄmmer, who had published a dissertation: Coelestis Urbs Ierusalem: Aphorismen nebst Beilage. Breslau, 1866.
129.* P. Gall Morel: Lateinische Hymnen des Mittelalters, grÖsstentheils aus Handschriften Schweizerischer KlÖster, als Nachtrag zu Hymnensammlungen von Mone, Daniel und Andern herausgegeben.—Einsiedeln, New York und Cincinnati, Benzigers, 1868.: Based on an examination of one hundred and thirty-six manuscripts, chiefly from Rheinau, Einsiedeln, and Engelberg. Edited in the style of Mone, who indeed suggested the work, but without annotations of any extent.

131. Karl Bartsch: Die lateinische Sequenzen des Mittelalters in musicalischer und rhythmischer Beziehung dargestellt. Rostock, 1868.: Karl Friedrich Bartsch was a philologist equally eminent in the Germanic and the Romance fields, and was professor at Rostock. He died in 1888.
132.* Rev. Sir Henry Baker and others: Hymns Ancient and Modern, for use in the Services of the Church; with Annotations, Originals, References, Authors’ and Translators’ Names, etc. Re-edited by Rev. Louis Coutier Biggs. London, 1868.
133.* A. Thierfelder: De Christianorum Psalmis et Hymnis usque ad Ambrosii Tempora. Leipzig, 1868.
134.* Philip Schaff: ??T?S, Christ in Song. Hymns of Immanuel. Selected from all Ages, with Notes. New York, 1869.: Contains translations of seventy-three Latin hymns by various authors, some of them by the editor.
135.* H. M. Schletterer: Geschichte der geistlichen Dichtung und kirchlichen Tonkunst vom Beginne des Christenthums bis zum Anfange des elften Jahrhunderts. Mit einer Einleitung Über die Poesie und Musik der alten VÖlker. Hannover, 1869.: Meant to be the first part of a history coming down to our own times, but not continued. The author was a musician by profession—Kapellmeister at Augsburg—so his interest is chiefly in the musical history. But he gives a good deal of information about the hymns and their writers, and appends translations of one hundred and twenty-seven by various German authors.
136.* J. Keble: Miscellaneous Poems. London and New York, 1869.
137.* Lateinische Hymnen aus angeblichen Liturgien des Tempelordens. Kritisch und exegetisch bearbeitet von Dr. Hermann Hoefig. Parchim, 1870.: A curiosity. The eleven hymns are partly church hymns, adapted to the alchemico-mystical ideas which pervaded the order of the Templars in its last years, and partly lamentations over the fall of Jerusalem and other calamities of the kingdom of Jerusalem.
138.* David T. Morgan: Hymns of the Latin Church. Translated; with the originals appended. Privately printed (London), 1871.: My own copy was presented by the author in autograph to James Appleton Morgan, and bears the latter’s book-plate. The range of selections is moderate; the execution of the versions is fair, and the text is well edited. There are numerous corrections and improvements made in the author’s handwriting. S. W. D.
139.* Charles Buchanan Pearson: Sequences from the Sarum Missal. London, 1871.: In the preface is a good description of the Sequence and its origin. The book is useful and well edited. S. W. D.
140. Cl. Brockhaus: Aurelius Prudentius Clemens in seiner Bedeutung fÜr die Kirche seiner Zeit. Nebst Uebersetzung des Gedichtes Apotheosis. Leipzig, 1872.
141.* W. H. Odenheimer and Fred. M. Bird: Songs of the Spirit. New York, 1871.: Twenty-three translations of Latin hymns, with a much larger number of English.
142.* Joseph Kehrein: Lateinische Sequenzen des Mittelalters aus Handschriften und Drucken.—Mainz, 1873.: This latest collection of the original texts of the hymns is prepared by one of the most patient and laborious of scholars. But there is scarcely to be found in it a single spark of the divine fire. It is filled, on the contrary, with the scoriae and ashes of monastic illiteracy. It contains eight hundred and ninety-five hymns—few of which are familiar and many of which are strictly unnecessary. The classification and especially the glossary of mediaeval Latin words can be highly commended. It is confined to “sequences,” but this word is used in so loose a sense as to include many regularly formed hymns along with the rhythmical proses. S. W. D.
143.* Edward Caswall: Hymns and Poems, Original and Translated. Second edition, 1873.

146.* F. A. March: Latin Hymns, with English Notes. For use in schools and colleges. New York, 1875 and 1883.: This is the first volume of the “Douglass Series of Christian Classics for Schools and Colleges.” Professor March’s text is carefully edited; his selections are wisely made, and his notes are judicious. This is the cheapest, fullest, and best work, if the Latin texts are desired. It contains no translations, and it so far mistakes its scope and purpose as to give space to Mr. Gladstone’s version of Rock of Ages, and Philip Buttmann’s rendering of Luther’s Ein’ feste Burg. S. W. D.

149.* Lyra Sacra Hibernica, compiled and edited by Rev. W. MacIlwaine, D.D. Belfast (1878). Second edition, 1879.: An unusually poetic and capital volume. It embraces several translations of early hymns, and contains the Latin of the Hymn of Columba, the Lorica S. Patricii in a Latin version, the Sancti Venite, and the Hymn of Sedulius. S. W. D.
150.* Frank Foxcroft: Resurgit: A Collection of Hymns and Songs of the Resurrection. Edited with Notes. With an Introduction by Andrew Preston Peabody, D.D. Boston and New York, 1879.

154.* Digby S. Wrangham: The Liturgical Poetry of Adam of St. Victor. 3 vols. London, 1881.: Mr. Wrangham has compiled—principally from Gautier—the various poems attributed to this author. He has given translation and text upon opposite pages, but adds nothing to our knowledge by any special scholarship. S. W. D.
155.* Joh. Kayser: BeitrÄge zur Geschichte und ErklÄrung der Ältesten Kirchenhymnen. Second edition. Paderborn, 1881 (477 pp.).: This is the latest German contribution to the criticism of the earliest hymns. It is a series of monographs on these and their authors. It comes down only to the sixth century, and closes with Fortunatus. See also his article, “Der Text des Hymnus Stabat Mater Dolorosa,” in the TÜbingen Theologische Quartalschrift for 1884, No. I., pp. 85-103. S. W. D.

162.* Johannes Linke: Die Hymnen des Hilarius und Ambrosius verdeutscht. Bielefeld und Leipzig, 1884.: This little volume of 194 pages, 12mo, is intended to be the first of a series furnishing translations (with the Latin texts en regard) of the hymns of the Early Church. In the preface Dr. Linke announces his purpose to bring out a new Thesaurus Hymnorum, based on the labors of Daniel, Neale, Mone, and Morel, and on an examination of about a hundred unused manuscripts. He regards Wackernagel as the best editor of the texts, and as characterized by the finest critical instinct in determining authorship. As he and Wackernagel agree in assigning the Ad coeli clara to Hilary, there is room for a difference of opinion.
163.* Annus Sanctus. Hymns of the Church for the Ecclesiastical Year. Translated from the Sacred Offices by various Authors, with Modern, Original and other Hymns, and an Appendix of Earlier Versions. Selected and Arranged by Orby Shipley, M.A. Vol. I. Seasons of the Church: Canonical Hours: and Hymns of our Lord. Pp. 443, 12mo. London and New York, 1884.: Important for the translations by English Roman Catholics from the Reformation to our own times.
