"Roman Triptych: Meditations" is a forty-page poem by Pope John Paul II, composed of three parts: Stream, Meditation on the Book of Genesis, and A Hill in the Moria Land. Originally written in John Paul II's native Polish after a visit to his homeland of Poland, the poem was translated to Italian by Grażyna Miller, and published in 2003 simultaneously in Poland (as Tryptyk Rzymski: Medytacje) and the Vatican (as Trittico romano, Meditazioni).[1]
The poem has since been translated into languages including English (by Jerzy Pietrkiewicz),[2] French, Spanish, and German.[3] A Polish audio version was recorded by actor Krzysztof Globisz.[1]
Roman Triptych received praise from philosopher and historian Stanisław Grygiel,[4] poet and Nobel laureate Czesław Miłosz,[1] poet Marek Skwarnicki,[3] and Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger,[1][3] several of whom were close personal friends of John Paul II. It was especially popular in Poland, selling out 80% of the initial print run of 300,000 copies before the official launch date.[1][3]
