Yesterday I discussed a short but spurious piece attributed to Ephraem Graecus, the “Threni” or “Lamentatins of the Virgin Mary before the cross” (CPG 4085). It’s actually a set of Greek verses from the 14th or 15th century. Assemani only printed – or rather pirated – a Latin translation of the early modern period. But since it is a short text, I thought that it would be fun to translate it, and put the results online. Here they are:
- Ephraem Graecus – Threni – Lamentations of the Virgin Mary (CPG 4085) (PDF)
- Ephraem Graecus – Threni – Lamentations of the Virgin Mary (CPG 4085) (Word .docx)
It’s also on Archive.org here. As usual these files and everything in them are public domain – do whatever you like with them, personal, educational or commercial.
