Three of the four prayers form the Missa for the same Festival in Leofr., where the Postcommunion is discarded and the second of the Collects transferred to the vacant place. The two Collects and the Secret appear in different sections in Leon., where the Secret is assigned to the Festival of SS. Felicissimus and Agapitus (viii Id. Aug.). 2 incessanter Leofr.

In Leofr. the first is the 'ad complendum,' the second the ad Populum' of a Missa in Nat. plur. sanctorum.' In Leon. they are the first and second Collects for the Festival of SS. Felicissimus and Agapitus. The Postcommunion is assigned by S. Gerb. and Men. to a Festival 'plurimorum martyrum,' in each case among the additional prayers; Leon. gives it a place (perhaps as a super Populum') in a Missa for the Festival of SS.

Aug.), where Gerbert wrongly marks the Secret as not contained in either R. or S.; Leofr. has the first Collect and a variation of the Secret in its Missa for the same day; while the Postcommunion appears to be closely related to that which is assigned to the same festival in V. (xxxviii supra). praebeant... consolentur V.; S. Gerb. Leofr. as text. 3 Iterata, so V.

S1 as text (perhaps ungrammatically: the difficulty of such a reading may have occasioned the variation in Leofr., already noted). The reading of V. is apparently corrupt :-ut haec nobis dona martyrum tuorum duplicacio beata sanctificet. The text has been emended by a comparison with xxxviii supra, and with Leon, supra. LXXIX.

Per Dominum. γ 703. 1 This Missa and the four which follow it apparently correspond to the five Missae provided by R. and S. for the five Sundays before Christmas Day. Men. likewise has five Missae for these weeks, reckoning backward from Christmas. S. has also a series of three Missae and R. has two Missae for the weekdays of Advent, while R. S. and Men. have cach a series of 'Aliae Orationes de Adventu,' with which, probably, the prayers contained in the latter part of lxxxiv were intended to correspond, though they have not in V. any separate title, and appear (most likely by accident) as if they were additional Postcommunions for the last of the five Advent Missae. Gerbert's triple text fails for the greater part of the Advent section, T. being defective at this point, and Gerbert tells us that he used S. and R. for the portion lacking in T. His text, however, shows a few variations from the readings both of R. and S., and he includes some things which are not contained in R. The contents and arrangement of the five Missae differ to some extent. R. S. and Gerb. show two Collects for each Missa, while Men. has only one: Men. has a 'super Populum' in each Missa, which R. S. and Gerb. have not; and there are some variations in the text of the special Prefaces which S. Gerb. Men. agree in assigning to each of the five Missae. In the majority of the five, however, R. S. and Gerb. are in agreement with Men. as to one Collect, the Secret, and the Postcommunion. Four out of the five Missae of V. show a marked correspondence with the Advent Missae of the Sacramentarium Gallicanum and of the Missale Gallicanum Vetus. 2 de adventum Domini, so V. The contents of this Missa appear in different positions in the other books referred to. (a) The first Collect has the same position in R. S. Gerb. Men. and appears in the two Gallican books as the first prayer of the first Missa de Adventu. (b) The second Collect is in the Sacramentarium Gallicanum the second prayer of the first Advent Missa: in R. S. Gerb. Men. it is the first Collect of the Missa for the Sunday next before Christmas. (c) The Secret in R. S. Gerb. Men. belongs to the third Sunday before Christmas. In Miss. Gall. it is the 'Post Nomina' of the first Advent Missa. (d) The Preface is assigned by R. S. Gerb. Men. to the fourth Sunday before Christmas: in both the Gallican books it forms part of the first Advent Missa. The Postcommunion is that of the third Sunday before Christmas in R. S. Gerb. Men. and appears in Miss. Gall. 3 as the final 'Collectio' of the first Advent Missa. promisisti usque in finem 5 V. omits et gratiae R. S. Gerb. Men.; V. clause in reference to the persons 7 Miss.
