ED notes: *The second psalm at compline is Ps.30, 1-6: In te Domine speravi...Domine Deus veritas. The combination Pss.12, 42, 133 shows a clear influence from Cambrai.

Variants: Both sources are identical. Each hour is finished by a special prayer to St.Gertrude: Indulgentia nobis quesumus domine gloriosa virgo gertrudis imploret
