Person Name: Unknown Composer of "JUBILEE" in The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
