Note 64 — Chapter XVIII · LITURGICAL PLAYS
Reading edition
‘Sacerdos ... antequam congregetur chorus, cum processione sibi paucorum adiunctorum ... foribus ecclesiae clausis, secretius tollat sacramentum de sepulchro’; cf. the fifteenth-century Passau Breviary (Lange, 135) ‘clam surgitur’ and the Ordo Sepulturae in the Missalis Posoniensis of 1341 (Dankó, 579) ‘laicis exclusis.’ I have not noticed any such limitation in English rubrics later than the Concordia Regularis.
