Note 103 — Chapter XVIII · LITURGICAL PLAYS

Lange, 32. These MSS. are of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. I find no such section in the normal text of the Gregorian Liber responsalis, which is the antiphonary for the office (P. L. lxxviii. 769). The ‘antiphonae de resurrectione domini ubicumque volueris’ of the B. N. Lat. MS. 17,436 include the ‘Cito euntes dicite, &c.,’ ‘Currebant duo simul, &c.,’ ‘Ardens est cor meum, &c.,’ and others which are regularly introduced into the play. Another commonly used is the Christus resurgens with its verse, ‘Dicant nunc Iudaei, &c.,’ which the Sarum books assign to the Elevatio (Appendix Q): cf. Lange, 77.
