Stabat Mater Speciosa ("The beautiful mother stood"[1][2]) is a Catholic hymn to Mary about the Nativity of Jesus.
It first appeared in a 1495 edition of the Italian poems of Jacopone da Todi, along with the other Stabat, but the Speciosa was almost forgotten until it was re-transcribed in 1852 in the "Poètes Franciscains en Italie au Treizième siècle" in Paris.[1] The Speciosa has since been viewed as one of the tenderest Marian hymns and one of the seven greatest Latin hymns.[3][4] It has become part of standard oratorios (e.g. Franz Liszt's Christus[5]), and has given rise to various Christmas carols[citation needed].
