Note 184 — Chapter XIX · LITURGICAL PLAYS (continued)

The first text in Du Méril, 156; Davidson, 174, from Munich MS. 6264ᵃ (eleventh century). Apparently it begins with a bit of dumb show, ‘Rex sedens in solio quaerat consilium: exeat edictum ut pereant continuo qui detrahunt eius imperio.’ Then comes ‘Angelus, in primis.’ Second text, headed ‘Ordo Rachaelis’ in Du Méril, 171; Froning, 871, from Munich MS. 6264 (eleventh century). It is mainly metrical.
