Excerpt from The Authorship, Text, and History of the Hymn Dies Irae: With Critical, Historical and Biographical Notes

When I first began the work I had by me about a dozen versions, being those best known, with two or three less common which chance had happened to throw in my way and I thought it possible that research might disclose, say an equal number unknown to me, so that the whole, with such notes as it might occur to me to write, would little exceed the size of a large pamphlet.

Excerpt from The Authorship, Text, and History of the Hymn Dies Irae: With Critical, Historical and Biographical Notes

This work was begun in 1878, laid by for about a year in 1883-84 under the pressure of another engagement, on the ceasing of this again resumed, and thenceforward carried on with little more than the temporary interruptions which must happen in all cases of a lengthy undertaking. For the last three or four years it has been practically complete, and unpublished only for pecuniary reasons; and even now, as I shall presently explain, it is impossible to publish the whole.

When I first began the work I had by me about a dozen versions, being those best known, with two or three less common which chance had happened to throw in my way; and I thought it possible that research might disclose, say an equal number unknown to me, so that the whole, with such notes as it might occur to me to write, would little exceed the size of a large pamphlet.

But as my intention of collecting the versions became known by degrees to others interested in the subject, I received copies of or references to far more than I had any idea of; so that my list of existing versions, instead of about twice, now contains considerably more than ten times the original number, and there is every reason to suppose that it is still incomplete.
