over five lines. It contains the first four lessons for the feast of the
Transfiguration of Christ, 5 August, taken from Pope Innocent IIIs fourteenth
homily for Quatember Saturday in Lent, with the same Gospel:
In transfiguratione domini. Lectio prima. Assumpsit ihesus... (Matth.
17,1). Quia fidelis est dominus... opere quod patrarat (PL 217, 375D-
376D).
Lee. ij. Recte igitur hec transfiguratio... sed gloriam future resurrectionis
ostendit (Ibid. 376D-377A, 13) quia resplenduit facies eius sicut sol et
vestimenta eius facta sunt alba sicut nix (Ibid. 380C, 4-5).
Lee. iij. [Vesti]menta christi sunt uniuersi fideles... et glorificationem
membrorum (Ibid. 380C, 5-380D, 5). Sicut autem post resurrectionem... et
uestimenta eius facta sunt alba sicut nix (Ibid. 378A, 6-13).
Lee. iiij. Verum quia mirum erat et mirabile... eum ipso loquentes. Et/
(Ibid. 378A, 14-378B, 5).
d) A leaf of a gradual from c. 1400, consisting of five strips. The written
space measures c. 22x14 cm with 8 lines to the page and carries musical
notation on four red lines. The leaf contains the chants from the alleluia-serse
of Sunday 3 after Trinity till the gradual of Sunday 4. For Sunday 3, the
alleluia-verse is Deus iudex, used for Sunday 2 in Nidaros; however, we find
it for Sunday 3 in the Bec-Canterbury tradition (see The Bec Missal,
Introduction, pp. xii-xiii). The communio for the same Sunday is Dico vobis
gaudium est angelis, for which I have found no parallel in this position.
e) A bifolium of non-consecutive leaves, each consisting of half a dozen
strips, from a sequentionary. They belong to the same fifteenth-century
manuscript as the fragment AM Access. 7a(3, Varia, f. 2=Eggen 2,
faesimiles 330-31, also recovered from the binding of a book bound in Iceland.
The written space is c. 22x14/15 cm with 11 lines to the page and carries
musical notation on four red lines. They contain the following sequences:
F. (1): (De saneto Vincentio) Precelsa seclis colitur, from 9a to the end
(AH 7, no. 205; AH 53, no. 223).
(In conuersione saneti Pauli) Dixit dominus ex basan (AH 50, no. 269).
(In Purificatione Beate Marie Virginis) Concentu parili, 1 -3b (AH 53, no.
99).
F. (2): (Dom. I post Epiphaniam) In sapientia disponens omnia, from 8a to
the end (AH 54, no 116).
(De sanetis) Ecce pulcra canora, l-5a (AH 7, no. 116; AH 53, no. 114).
These five sequences are all prescribed in the Nidaros Ordinary (see ON,
pp. 435 sqq.). However, Precelsa seclis and Concentu parili are the only
surviving fragments of these two sequences though the latter reappears in the
printed Nidaros Missal of 1519.
These manuscripts are likely to be the spoils of the medieval library
of Skålholt Cathedral, of which, however, we have but scanty
knowledge. The only church charter to list Sermones Innocentii tertii
