The Abelard Hymnal: Medieval Christian Songs Translated Into English.
Edited by Ryan B. Jawad

Excerpt from the Introduction:
“This hymnal is a collection of early Christian poems translated into English and set to melodies from the medieval period. The 56 poems are selected from ‘One Hundred Latin Hymns: Ambrose to Aquinas’ (OHLH), edited by Peter G. Walsh and Christopher Husch. OHLH is number 18 in the Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library series and is a critical edition of early Christian poems written between the 4th and 13th centuries. The 183 melodies for the poems are taken from ‘Die mittelalterlichen Hymnenmelodien des Abendlandes’ (HA), volume 1 in Bärenreiter’s Monumenta Monodica Medii Aevi series. HA, written by Bruno Stäblein, is a catalogue of hymns from medieval Europe and contains well over 1000 different melodies. The melodies that I selected come from manuscripts that date between the 11th and 15th centuries. The translations for the poems are taken from a variety of sources, though most are from 19th-century England.”
