ALTHOUGH it has seemed good to the Church that the ancient local
orders of saying and singing the Divine Office should in most cases
be abolished in favour of the use of that City which is the centre
and head of the Church on earth, there are nevertheless many parts
of the old and superseded rites which do not merit complete
oblivion; and since their hymns are their most individual features,
affording as they do almost the only opportunity for unfettered
composition in the scheme of the Breviary Office, the following
selection has been made therefrom in the belief that their very
real though rugged beauty will appeal to those who find the
thoughts of all but forgotten fellow Catholics an aid and spur to
their own devotion. It is hoped that the many defells of the work
will not deter its readers from seeking for themselves a share of
those jewels so easily to be found in the setting of mediaeval
books of devotion. Mr thanks are due to the Editor of the" Nation"
for permission to reproduce here the translation of "Te centies
mille legionum angeli," which first appeared in his paper. 29 hymns
are translated in all after Fortescue's introduction on Church
Music.
