The supplement to the Gregorian sacramentary underlying our
fragmentary masses 3-6 from the Common of the saints was irregular,
with the exception of the prefaces which are those found in Sp. The
prayers, mainly derived from the eighth-century Gelasian sacramenta-
ries, also, with the exception of the postcommunion of mass 5,
Populum tuum, occur in some of the Gregorian sacramentaries from
the second half of the ninth century. The sacramentaries of Corbie, St.
Amand, and Tours are represented among our references.
The secret and the postcommunion of mass 5 do not occur together
in other books. Separately, both appear in the Prague sacramentary
(GeP), written in or near Regensburg before 794. This is the earliest
source for our secret in this position.
The postcommunion with the incise ‘cibo spiritali refectum’ has been
identified only in the Prague sacramentary, where it is the postcom-
munion of the second of its two St. Martin masses. The collect and the
contestatio of this mass were borrowed from the Missale Gothicum
(GaG LXXII, 472 and 476), which has no texts beyond the
contestatio. The two St. Martin masses (of which the first one is
purely Gregorian = Ha 748-50) constitute a link between the Regens-
burg sacramentary and St. Martin’s of Tours.
Without the incise, the prayer appears in the collectar of Bishop
Baturich of Regensburg (817-48), adopted for St. Emmeram, patron of
Regensburg:
Deus qui nos deuota beati emmerammi. .. patrocinia sentiamus.
Alia. Beati Emmerammi martyris tui... remedia capiamus.
Alia. [Populum tuum quaesumus] domine deus pio fauore... custodi.
Alia. Deus fidelium remunerator.. . indulgentiam consequamur.
In the early ninth century it was adopted for the mass of St. Rupert,
patron of Salzburg, in the sacramentary of Trent:
Deus qui nos deuota beati Hrodperthi. ..
Hostias domine laudis tuae altaribus. ..
VD Diemque natalicium beati pontificis...
Beati Rodperthi confessoris tui atque... (remedia capiamus).
Populum tuum domine quaesumus pio fauore...
In the context of a pre-Hadrianic Gregorian sacramentary, with the
addition of votive masses, this mass has been re-traced by J.
