As the devotional fervor of the Franciscan Order spread throughout 13th century Europe, so did the demand for appropriate literary and musical materials.   One of the most sublime of these texts is the Stabat Mater dolorosa.   Scholars have attributed the poem, of characteristic Franciscan spirituality, to various leaders of the Friars Minor such as Jacopo de Benedetti (Jacapone da Todi, d.1306), doctor seraphicus Saint Bonaventura (d.1274) and even Pope Innocent III (d.1216).   Picturing the darkest hour in the Passion story, the poet poignantly describes the Mother of God, broken by suffering, weeping at the foot of the cross.
