Summary "The Medieval Latin Hymn" by Ruth Ellis Messenger is a scholarly examination of the history and development of Latin hymns from the early medieval period, likely written in the mid-20th century. The book explores the evolution of these hymns over the course of a millennium, focusing on their theological, cultural, and musical significance within the Christian church and their role in worship. Messenger aims to make this extensive and often overlooked subject accessible to a general audience rather than to specialists. At the start of this work, the author establishes the purpose of tracing the history of medieval Latin hymns as they relate to ecclesiastical studies, emphasizing their significance in worship practices. The opening portion discusses early hymn writers such as St. Jerome, Hilary of Poitiers, Ambrose of Milan, and Prudentius, detailing their contributions and the theological context that influenced their writings. It sets the stage for an exploration of how these hymns maintained continuity in Christian worship and gradually evolved into the rich liturgical heritage recognized in the medieval Church.
