A2r Textus sequentiarum, cum optimo commento. ‘Textus sequentiarum cum commento'. ‘De natiuitate'. Incipit: ‘[G]rates nunc omnes reddamus domino deo, qui sua natiuitate . . .’
A2r [Commentary.] Incipit: ‘Iste liber cuius subiectum est laus diuina in honore omnipotentis . . .’ The commentary alternates with lines of the text. The sequences are organized according to the liturgical year, from the Nativity to the Resurrection of Christ. It follows the sequences for the common of saints (apostles, evangelists, martyrs, confessors, virgins, dedication of the church), and for the Virgin. It includes, on S1v, the sequence in honour of the Eleven Thousand Virgins. See A. Moss, ‘Latin Liturgical Hymns and their Early Printing History, 1470-1520', Humanistica Lovaniensia, 36 (1987), 112-37, at 120-2. For the origin and development of the sequence see F. J. E. Raby, A History of Christian-Latin Poetry from the Beginning to the Close of the Middle Ages, 2nd edn (Oxford, 1953), 210-19, 345-8.
