Author Description

The book ""Ancient Hymns Of Holy Church"" is a collection of hymns compiled by J.W. and originally published in 1845. The hymns included in this book are from various sources, such as the Roman Breviary, the Sarum Breviary, and the Greek and Latin Fathers. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part containing hymns for the various seasons of the Church year, and the second part containing hymns for specific occasions, such as the dedication of a church or the feast of a particular saint. The hymns are presented in their original language, with English translations provided alongside. Each hymn is accompanied by a brief introduction, providing historical and contextual information about the hymn and its place in the Church's liturgy. The book is a valuable resource for scholars, musicians, and anyone interested in the history and tradition of Christian hymnody.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
