Editorial note — Here beginneth the First Book of GULIELMUS DURANDUS his RATIONALE of the DIVINE OFFICES.

[Footnote 91: S. Luke viii, 10.] [Footnote 92: S. Matthew xv, 14.] [Footnote 93: Psalm lxix, 23.] [Footnote 94: Isaiah xxiv, 2.] [Footnote 95: Here is a distinct reference to the Prothesis: the more valuable because in writers of the Middle Ages it does not hold so prominent a place as we might have expected: and the table of Prothesis appears not to have occupied a certainly defined situation in Catholic churches. There is also a reference to Lev. xxi, 8, and the showbread.] [Footnote 96: S. Luke xxii, 3.] [Footnote 97: Psalm xcv, 11.]
