Source: Bibl. d'Arras Ms.783 Psalterium et Hore Sci Vedasti, sec.14, f.216- "Incipiunt matutini de s.maria per circulum anni".
ED notes: The use has apparently been modified several times. Especially Lauds is differing in various sources, here are 3 variants. As both the notes of Beyssac and Leroquais are incomplete, has it been necessary to combine the two to fill the gaps, without any guarantee that such a combination exists in one particular manuscript. The psalms at Compline are from Arras Ms.783 (with the monastic sequence).
Variants: Leroquais: "Dans les bréviaire manuscrits (douze lecons): Matutin: Ant.Ecce tu pulchra es, Lec.I: Surge beatissima. Laudes: Ant. O admirabile - Ant.Quando natus es.". The manuscript Arras 542 has a special monastic composition: Ant. Post partum, Hymn: Ihesu salvator seculi, Cap. Scimus quoniam, Ant. at Benedictus: Salvator mundi salva nos; Beyssac found the other source in Arras (see above), but is has a lacune between f.220/221, and the sequence of psalms at the small hours is the monastic use with Ps.118. This source has also a choice of two antiphons at Lauds as indicated above.
Other sources: VL 027 Bibl. d'Arras Ms.542 (836) f.16-17v (Compline not found).
