Excerpt from Hymns and Other Poetry of the Latin ChurchCorolla Hymnorum, while countless treasures te main to exercise the skill and taste of translators, and to testify to the piety and scriptural knowledge of the old Hymn-writers. I do not, therefore, apologise for attempting to render these Hymns in our mother tongue - success is another matter. The originals are of a studied simplicity, and this would be lost by turning them into ¿orid or sensational verse. I have tried to give their meaning and spirit faithfully, so clothing them in an English dress that they might again appear, so far as I could effect this, as originals. I humbly hope that my endeavour may conduce, in however small a degree, to the glory of God and the good of His Church.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
