The text of the Elevatio from Bodleian MS. Miscellaneous 
Liturgical 202 2 is conspicuously different from the text given 
above, both in position and in ceremonial. It will be observed 
that the present office is placed immediately before Easter 
Matins,—the normal position for the Elevatio •. The advance 
in ceremonial in this version is simple and obvious. A certain 
interest attaches to the fact that the office includes the singing 
of the respond, Angelus domini , the content of which is more 
-appropriate to the Visitatio Sepulchri, which is found at the 
end of Matins is this same manuscript. 3 From the text below 
it appears that the Crux alone is raised. 
1 The rubric, In Mat utinis Laud ibus, follows immediately. 
2 Oxford, Bodleian MS. Misc. Liturg. 202, fol. 71v-72r,— Breviarium 
Monasticum of the 13th century, probably of Dominican use and from 
South Germany. The MS. is described by W. H. Frere, Bibliotheca 
Musico-Litupgica, Vol. I, London, 1901, No. 85. The MS. contains also 
a Visitatio, but no Depositio.
