Hymns of the Early Church: Being Translations from the Poetry of the Latin Church, Arranged in the Order of the Christian Year

Hymns of the Early Church, translated by John Brownlie in the late 19th century, is a collection of Latin hymns arranged according to the Christian liturgical calendar. This volume seeks to illuminate the rich heritage of Latin hymnody, which has often been overlooked in Scotland, and aims to make these spiritually profound and doctrinally sound works accessible to a wider audience. Brownlie's translations strive to capture the essence and poetic measures of the original hymns, offering readers a valuable resource for devotional practice.
