Turning our attention, then, to an examination “au miscro- 
scope’ 7 of Tutilo’s famous trope, let us pass in review some of 
the variants of the text already printed above. Whereas this 
text, in use at St. Gall at the end of the tenth century, hears 
no explicit evidence of having been rendered in dialogue form, 
such evidence is unmistakably present in the following: 
1 Hodie eantandus est nobis puer, quern gignebat ineffabiliter 
ante tempera Pater, et eundem sub tempore generauit inclyta 
Mater. 
TNTerrogatio : Quis est iste puer, quem tarn magnis preconiis 
dignum uociferatis? dicite nobis, ut conlaudatores esse pos- 
simus. 
RESPorcsio: Hie enim est quem presagus et electus symmista

The rubrics Int<terrogatio> and Resp<.onsio> clearly in¬ 
dicate conscious dialogue. In this text, as in that given above, 3 
the troping continues into the interior of the Introit.
