[Missa in Gallicantu] 
It was at the very end of this office, then, that Quem quceritis in 
prcesepe achieved a new development. 
Before tracing this development, however, we shall do well to 
recognize the fact that this particular trope is only one of a 
large number that flourished in the liturgy of matins, and by 
glancing at a few of these miscellaneous excrescences we shall 
better understand the circumstances under which Quem quceritis 
in prcesepe was transferred from the Introit of the mass to the 
end of Matins.
