Name: The Sadness of Christ (History of the Passion)
Author: St. Thomas More

St. Thomas More

More's last work, written in the Tower of London in 1534-35 and left unfinished at the words 'they laid hands on Jesus': a meditation on the sorrow, weariness, fear and prayer of Christ in the Garden (De Tristitia Christi). This is Mary Basset's English translation of the Latin (1557), in modern spelling edited by Mgr P. E. Hallett (1941).

Source: Introduction, additional note, the printer's address and the Exposition, with Hallett's footnotes kept. The Latin De Tristitia Christi has no usable e-text (see PROBLEMS.md). Raw text in sources/en-US-originals/.
