Reading edition

Durandus, lib. vi. c. 87. He describes the normal Visitatio, in terms much resembling those of Belethus (cf. p. 31), and adds ‘quidam vero hanc presentationem faciunt, antequam matutinum inchoent, sed hic est proprior locus, eo quod Te deum laudamus exprimit horam, qua resurrexit. Quidam etiam eam faciunt ad missam, cum dicuntur sequentia illa Victimae paschali, cum dicitur versus Dic nobis et sequentes.’ Ioannes Abrincensis, de Offic. eccles. (P. L. cxlvii. 54), briefly notes the ‘officium sepulchri’ as ‘post tertium responsorium,’ and says no more.
