Gerhard published them in 1606 while he was studying theology at Jena. The work has enjoyed immense popularity and was translated into German and English. It is especially to be commended to Lutherans who are learning Latin because of its high devotional quality which will aid one in learning Latin for Christian prayer and meditation. Furthermore, the Latin is mostly very easy, making it accessible for those early in their Latin studies or for those who are learning to understand Latin aurally.

Comments and suggestions are most welcome.

The text for every recording will be available on this website, but for those who would like to download the entire work you may do so here (PDF) or here (TIFF).
