I have been asked for the best-considered English version of the
Stabat Mater.
I have looked at RA Knox (in the Westminster Hymnal 1940) and there
is another, older one in our College Prayer book (1933) - I should say
Victorian.
So far, neither the Net (my amateur efforts, anyway) nor various
dictionaries have raised anything else.
I do not want to embark on the task myself, not just now, anyway, so
does anyone have any suggestions?
(If anyone complians that this is not a medieval question, I counter
by asking - innocently - who wrote the original...)
