S. Gerb. Men. The first and second Collects of (i) are in R. S. Gerb. Men, the Collects for the Wednesday and the Friday of the Embertide: the third and fourth appear in S. Gerb. as the Collects of a Missa quotidiana (not contained in R.), and in Men. among the 'Orationes de Adventu quotidianis diebus.' The Secret in R. S. Gerb. Men. belongs to the second Sunday before Christmas; and it appears in Sacr. Gall. as the Ad pacem' of the third Advent Missa. The Postcommunion is among the general Orationes de Adventu' in R. S. Gerb., while in Men. it is the 'super Populum' of the fifth Sunday before Christmas. 2 hii V.; hi R. S. Gerb.
