ED notes: All preserved sources are late, from around 1500, which makes it difficult to comment on the origin (it cannot be excluded that it was brought to Denmark by Vikings from Normandy); Lauds and Compline are influenced from Bremen (Archdiocese for Denmark until 1104), all the small hours are like Normandy (via a hitherto unnoticed influence).
Variants: No variants (the minor insignificant textual variants are all noted in the printed edition)
Other sources: See notes in "Middelalderens danske Bønnebøger" A translation into Danish was published in print by the canon regular Christian Pedersen in Paris 1514.
