pp. 196-99), c. 1200, from the Cistercian abbey of Morterner in the

thirteenth century for the Benedictine abbey of Peterborough.
These prayers will be rendered in the order of our Icelandic
manuscript, followed by the corresponding texts from Marturi, Ziirich,
Alpirsbach (also representing Bremen), and extracts from Morterner
and Peterborough. A few more manuscripts containing prayers to the
apostles will also be cited:
The Pontifical of Hugues de Salins, archbishop of Besangon (1031-
1066), written after 1048, includes a libellus precum, ed. Lemarié
1978, a very rich collection with individual prayers to some of the
apostles. For their relationship to Alpirsbach, see Lemarié 1979, p. 9.

that, though written in England, it contains several pieces of Continen-
tal origin (Auteurs spirituels, p. 555).
