| Sumario: | The history of the text and melody confirms that this Alsatian carol, originating in Strasbourg, existed well before the 15th century. Hymnologists agree unanimously that the oldest existing handwritten text points to Johannes Tauler (ca. 1300–1361) or to someone most probably associated with him, as the author. The melody was printed for the first time in a 17th century Catholic hymnal, and the (bilingual) text in German and Latin is mariological in content. However, it was Daniel Sudermann (1550–1631), a religious poet and member of the Schwenckfeldians, wo gave us the present version of the first six stanzas. An analysis of his text reveals that the mystical, trinitarian character conforms in every respect to Tauler's teachings, but that the pneumatological, ecclesiological and mariological character of the "ship" metaphor reaches far back in history to the rich tradition of the Church Fathers, exemplified by Ephraim the Syrian in the 4th century, and continued by Tauler. As a faithful follower in Tauler's footsteps, Sudermann cleansed the text of the superficial elements which the cloister tradition had added, and portrayed the Christmas event in the proper Christocentric light of the Incarnation. This was the Church Father's original intent, and, after the Council of Trent, it once again became an integral part of Mariology. |
