Breviarium Anagrammaticum is a book that presents a unique approach to Latin hymns of the Breviary and other Latin hymns of the early church. The author, Walter Begley, has turned these hymns into metrical anagrams, a form of wordplay where the letters of a word or phrase are rearranged to form a new word or phrase. This creative approach to the hymns adds a new dimension to their meaning and helps readers to engage with the texts in a fresh way. The book includes a selection of hymns from the Breviary as well as other Latin hymns from the early church, all presented in their original Latin with the anagrammatic versions alongside. The book is a fascinating exploration of the power of language and the creative possibilities of wordplay.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
