IF YOU WORK IN THE AREA OF GOSPEL BOOKS, GOSPEL LECTIONARIES OR BIBLES,
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING, OR SAVE IT UNTIL YOU CAN GIVE IT THE TIME TO GO
THROUGH CAREFULLY. I NEED YOUR HELP FOR THE PRELIMINARY "LITMSS" DATABASE AND
FOR ITS ULTIMATE OFFSPRING, THE DIRECTORY OF INDIVIDUAL LITURGICAL SOURCES.
I list below what I have collected from Gneuss _Handlist_, Gneuss _Liturgical
Book_ list, Ker _Catalogue_, Temple, Collins, and various private
compilations. In the Gospel Books and Lectionaries, I am looking for
manuscripts with Matt.6: 9-13 and Luke, chapters 1 & 2, and 11:2-4 intact,
from the Anglo-Saxon period, in either Latin or Old English. These of course
contain the scriptural 'originals' of the New Testament 'cantica' used
in the Daily Office, and consisting of the Pater Noster (Matt. 6: 9-13, and
the briefer Lucan version in 11: 2-4), the Magnificat (Luke 1: 46-55),
Benedictus (Luke 1: 68-79), first verse of Gloria in excelsis (Luke 2:14) and
Nunc Dimittis (Luke 2: 29-32). In bibles proper I am looking for complete
texts of these New Testament cantica and of the Old Testament cantica that
might have been used in pre-Conquest England (I am casting wide here, and
including cantica from the Spanish/Mozarabic tradition [marked below with a
#] as well as from the post-Charlemagne Gallican, as the Spanish attitude
towards hymns seems to have something in common with the Irish). These O.T.
cantica are to be found in Exodus 15 (Cantemus Domino), Deuteronomy 32
(Audite Caeli), Habakkuk 3 (Domine Audivi), 1 Samuel 2 (Exultavit Cor Meum),
Isaiah 12 (Confitebor tibi), #Isaiah 26 (De Mane Vigilabo Te), Isaiah 38 (Ego
Dixi In Dimidio), #Isaiah 60 (Surge illuminare), #Lamentations 5 (Memento
Domine), Daniel 3:57 (Benedicite Opera), and Daniel 3:52 (Benedictus Es) (my
source is Mearns).
Because I will clearly not be able to go through each gospel book, gospel
lectionary or bible to ascertain that these pieces of text are in fact
present, I am appealing to anyone working with these texts, to help me
include/rule out the mss listed below as containing/omitting the scriptural
cantica that I've identified above.
Please let me know, at the addresses or by phone as listed above, if you can
categorically identify a ms as containing these cantica or as being imperfect
and leaving some or all of those text sections out. Gospel lectionaries are
especially complicated, as I do not know whether these sections will
automatically be included (because of their cantica importance) or not. You
can further assist me by sending me the text of what cantica versions ARE
there in a given manuscript, but even for the moment, a simple 'sheep and
goats' separation of mss is what I'm after.
Can anyone add to what I have collected? I've tried to track down every bible
and gospel version in Latin or OE from the pre-Conquest period so far, but am
sure that I've missed a few along the way. I have optimistically included
single-leaf gospel fragments but left out (sensibly, I hope) single-leaf
bible fragments, and would appreciate any corrections I should make in this
regard.
There is no time limit on this request. I will be very grateful for any help
you can give me. Thank you.
Sarah
