(June 23); one or more pairs of leaves with the Sanctorale for the months
of April and May have accordingly been lost. At the bottom of f. 13vb,
immediately following the Mass of the Annunciation, is a collect rubri-
cated De sancto Kanuto duce, beginning Adesto Domine populo tuo : ut
beati Kanuti ducis et martiris tui merita preclara suscipiens, breaking
off midway due to the lacuna. This prayer seems to occur here as a com-
memoration, but its chronological position is unexpected; the full text
survives as the Mass collect of the Translation in the Missale Hafniense
of 1510, cf. section 4.1.4 below.
4.1.2. The next oldest extant missal is Missale Slesvicense, revised by a
certain Jacob Horstman and printed locally at Schleswig in 1486 (LN
185, here designated Ms; cf. SRD IV 268—71).59 Its Mass Proper for the
Passion of St Knud Lavard is largely identical with that also prescribed
for the Translation, but with many differences from the Kiel manuscript
(K] Ms):
§17:1 Introit verse Exaudi Deus orationem meam (Ps. 63:2)
§ 17:4:1-2 Gradual Beatus vir, qui timet Dominum (cf. LU 1136, Com-
mon of One Martyr who was not a bishop)
§ 17:5:1-2 Alleluia verse Justus utpalma florebit (cf. LU 1208, Common of
Abbots)
§ 17:7:1-2 Gospel Si quis vult post me venire {Mt. 16:24—[28], cf. LU
1135, Common of One Martyr who was a bishop)
§ 17:8:1-2 Offertory In virtute tua, Domine (cf. LU 1205, Common of
Confessors who were not bishops)
§ 17:9:1-2 Secret Muneribus nostris (cf. LU 1138, Common of One
Martyr who was not a bishop)
§ 17:10:1-2 Communion Magna est gloria (cf. LU 1649, St Matthew the
Apostle and Evangelist)
§ 17:11:1-2 Postcommunion Beati martiris tui Kanuti, quesumus Domine, pre-
cibus adiuuemur, etc.60

60 This prayer is also found in Ms at the end of the Mass Proper for the Passion of St Knud
the King, where it indeed may originally have belonged. Cf. nn. 64 and 66 below, and P. D.
