The Passion Hymns of Iceland is a book that contains translations of hymns from two different sources. The first source is the Passion-Hymns of Hallgrim Petursson, a famous Icelandic poet and hymn writer from the 17th century. These hymns are known for their emotional and powerful descriptions of the sufferings of Christ. The second source is the Modern Icelandic Hymn Book, which contains hymns written by various Icelandic authors in more recent times.The translator of this book is C. Venn Pilcher, who has carefully translated these hymns into English while maintaining their original meaning and poetic beauty. The book includes an introduction that provides historical and cultural context for the hymns, as well as notes on the translations and the sources of the hymns.Overall, The Passion Hymns of Iceland is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Icelandic literature, religious poetry, or hymnody. It offers a glimpse into the rich tradition of Icelandic hymn writing, and provides readers with a meaningful and moving collection of hymns that capture the essence of Christ's passion and sacrifice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
