The Liturgical Poetry of Adam of St. Victor (Wrangham)

Adam of St. Victor

Digby S. Wrangham’s English verse translations of the sequences of Adam of St. Victor (1881), made in the original metres from Léon Gautier’s Latin text: sequences I to CII, for the feasts of the Lord, the saints and Our Lady. Gautier’s selection and numbering differ from the thirty-six prosae of Migne, so this is a separate book from the Latin Sequentiae; the same work. English only, from a machine-read scan (some slips remain); the translator’s notes and the doubtful sequences are not imported. One verse to a line.

Source: Only the English translations of sequences I-CII are imported; the facing Latin of Gautier, the translator’s notes, the index and the doubtful sequences are left out. Stanza breaks are inferred from sentence ends; the OCR carries slips.
