Preceded by the rubric Missa nostrae redemptionis, and with a different ending, it is
also found in the late twelfth-century Prémontré missal of the priory of St. Étienne-å-
Ames in the diocese of Reims, MS Paris lat. 833 (Ibid., 1, pp. 307-10; see Sacramen-
tarium Praemonstratense, ed. N. I. Weyns = Bibi. Analectorum Praemonstratensium, 8
[Averbode 1968], p. 223):
Corda nostra, qs Dne, splendor dominicae incamationis... et ipso nos ducente in
omnem viam veritatis, perueniamus ad patriam aetemae claritatis.
With the same ending and in a more expanded form, including ‘circumcisionis,
apparicionis, oblacionis, baptismi, transfigurationis’, it also occurs as the first of the
Missae votivae of the Hungarian sacramentary, Codex Prayanus, f. 99r, preceded by the
rubric Missa de sacramentis dominicis (see Rado, p. 51; op. cit. above, p. 65).
Exceptionally, this prayer also appears in a libellus precum, Bibi. Vat. MS Ottobon.
lat. 245, written in England, or, possibly, in Normandy, shortly after 1100, ‘Corda
nostra quaesumus Domine sanctus splendor tuae annuntiationis, conceptionis... ad
patriam claritatis aetemae’; see Salmon, p. 171, no. 456.
MS CCCC 422, p. 196, also contains another, very similar mass:
Corda nostra et conscientias quesumus omnipotens deus unigeniti tui domini nostri
sacratissime incamationis natiuitatis passionis ac beate resurrectionis et ascensionis
splendor illustret. nostreque mentis interiora salutaris aduentus sancti spiritus emundet ut
in eo qui gratiarum largitor est recta sapiamus. et imperpetuum de eius consolatione
gaudeamus. per.
Another votive mass, modelled on the paschal prayer, ‘Concede qs ops ds ut qui
resurrectionis dominicae’ (Ha 389), also appears in eleventh-century manuscripts, e.g.
MS Vallicellan. B 24, ff. 9v-10r, Missa in commemoratione sacr. totius Trinitatis:
Concede quesumus omnipotens deus ut qui sancte et indiuidue trinitatis atque unitatis
simulque Incamationis. Natiuitatis. Circumcisionis. Apparicionis. Transfigurationis.
Passionis. uiuifice Crucis et mortis. Resurrectionis. simul et Ascensionis domini nostri
