1 HS:90r. Proper doxologies are used for Christmastide, Epiphanytide, Eastertide and Ascen siontide. They may be found in the Performing Edition. 2 1531 P:11v. has 'Unus Patris'. In 1519 P:49r, 'Unum' is set F.FED. It will be noted that the penultimate neume in the final stanza is different than in the previous stanzas. This is consistent in the printed Sarum hymnals. 3 1519 P:49r. The printed Sarum Hymnals do not indicate here the use of the text Veni Creátor on the day of Pentecost and on the three days that follow. The following rubric from 1531:153r. clarifies: 'To be sure on, the other days, namely on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, is sung the Hymn Veni Creator. at Terce, changing neither vestment nor place . . . however on the other days, that is Thursday, Friday, and Saturday [within the Octave of Pentecost,] let the Hymn Nunc sancte nobis. be sung with the Melody of the Hymn Veni Creator.' See also 1519:261r. 4 Some Sarum sources indicate a flat in the fourth phrase. 5 HS:91r. 6 HS:92r. 7 1519 P:49v. has the following : Hymn. VIII.
N Unc sanc te no bis Spí ri tus, Unum Pa tri cum Fí li
o : Dig ná re promp tus ín ge ri, Nos tro re fú sus péc to ri. 8 See 1531:153r. 9 AS:112 has 'vitam' ; SB P:60. omits 'Dómine'. 10 1519 P:52r. has no flat. 11 The text which follows is not from Hebrews. It appears in the third Responsory for Advent 3. 12 1519:16v. gives this R. a fifth higher, in the C clef. The fourth neume is E ; likewise, 'salvi' is set E.D. In AS:15. 'Deus virtútum' is set D.C D.E.E ; 'et Fílio' is set A A.G.A. The V. Gloria ends thus :
Spi rí tu i Sanc to.

17 1519 P:52v. 18 1519 P:53r. 19 HS:93v. 20 The Doxology does not appear in the Hymnale at this point, but is found at the Hymn of Terce. 1519 P:53r. sets 'rerum vices' G.A A.A. Cf. n. 7 supra. 21 SB P:63. 22 1519 P:55r. 23 1519 P:55r has no flats. 24 1519 P:55v. 25 'et Israel salvábitur.' is not present in the Vulgate. 26 HS:94r.

' [ .] The passage is very similar : 'Veníte, ascendámus ad montem Dómini, et ad domum Dei Jacob : et docébit nos de viis suis, et íbimus in sémitis ejus, quia de Sion egrediétur lex, et verbum Dómini de Hierúsalem.' 1531:9v. indicates ' Isaiah ij.
