Stabat Mater
The celebrated Latin hymn on the Crucifixion, which forms a
part of the service during Passion week, in the Roman Catholic Church.
It was composed by Jacopone, a Franciscan of the thirteenth century,
and has been set to music by Pergolese, also by Rossini.
In the catalogue of the Library of Burgundy, No. 13,993, is the
following:
“Item fol. 77. Benedictus Papa XII. composuit hane orationem: `Stabat
Mater dolorosa iuxta crucem,' etc., concessitque cuilibet confesso
poenitenti dicenti eam pro qualibet vice 30 dies indulgentium.”
(Sixteenth century.)
