teries and Other Latin Poems of the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries, London, 
1838, pp. 60-62), derived from P. Michel (See Wright, p. xiv). I omit from 
consideration also the text of E. de Coussemaker in his Histoire de VHarmonie 
au Moyen Age, —a text dependent upon Magnin and DuM§ril (See Histoire, 
p. 133). A complete, but faulty, facsimile of the part of the manuscript with 
which we are concerned is found in Coussemaker’s Histoire, Plates xviii-xxiii. 
Contrary to the assumption of some persons, the Ordo Prophetarum from this 
manuscript is not found in Raynouard, Choix des Poesies originates des Trouba¬ 
dours, Vol. II, Paris, 1817, pp. 139-143. The text as printed below is imme¬ 
diately preceded in the manuscript by the closing rubric of the Sponsus: Modo 
accipiant eas demones et precipitentur in infernum, which is written in and 
above the last four centimeters of the third line from the bottom of fol. 55v. 
The first four words of the Ordo Prophetarum,—Omnes gentes congaudentes 
dent, —occupy the first two-thirds of the next line. The last four centimeters 
of this line are blank. This blank space appears to have been left for an in¬ 
troductory rubric that was never written. Except for one brief passage, indi¬ 
cated in my foot-notes, the entire text is furnished with musical notation. 
2 1 supply this heading without reference to the several vernacular inventions 
of previous editors. 
3 <Cantor>.] <Praecentor> (D. C. ) ; <Dicat Sacerdos> (M) ; omitted 
(N). I enter the conjecture cantor at appropriate places throughout the text 
merely for general intelligibility. Since the text is sung, the word is not 
inappropriate; and its lack of explicitness accords with our ignorance of the 
precise facts. I myself should raise no objection to cantores or chorus . Du- 
Meril’s Praecentor and Magnin’s Dicat Sacerdos, however, seem to imply undue 
editorial certainty.
