Hemminki Of Masku
Hemminki of Masku ( fi, Hemminki Maskulainen, Hemming Henrikinpoika Hollo; la, Hemmingius Henrici; c. 1550–1619) was a Finnish priest, hymn writer, and translator. His work, particularly ''Yxi Wähä Suomenkielinen Wirsikirja'' (A Small Finnish-language Hymnal) greatly influenced hymnody in the Finnish language. Life Hemminki, son of Henrik, was born around 1550 into a bourgeois family in Turku. He studied at the Cathedral School in Turku, where he was taught by Eerik Härkäpää (Erik Oxhuvud) and Jacobus Finno (Jaakko Suomalainen, James the Finn), both of whom studied abroad.

During this time, he expanded the work of Jacobus Finno’s earlier Finnish-language hymnal to publish ''Yxi Wähä Suomenkielinen Wirsikirja'', the first edition probably in 1605 of which the earliest surviving imprint is the produced by ...

Hymnal
A hymnal or hymnary is a collection of hymns, usually in the form of a book, called a hymnbook (or hymn book). Hymnals are used in congregational singing. A hymnal may contain only hymn texts (normal for most hymnals for most centuries of Christian history); written melodies are extra, and more recently harmony parts have also been provided. Hymnals are omnipresent in churches but they are not often discussed; nevertheless, liturgical scholar Massey H. Shepherd once observed: "in all periods of the Church’s history, the theology of the people has been chiefly molded by their hymns." Elements and Format Since the twentieth century, singer-songwriter hymns have become common, but in previous centuries, generally poets wrote the words, and musicians wrote the tunes; the texts are known and indexed by their first lines ("incipits") and the hymn tunes are given names, sometimes geographical (the tune "New Britain" for the incipit "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound").
