[5] As for instance Populus acquisitionis (p.161), which is described as an antiphon in the manuscript Vienna, Nationalbibliothek, Cod.lat.701, f.32v; cf. Andrieu, M. (ed.): Les Ordines Romani du haut moyen âge, Spicilegium sacrum Lovaniense: études et documents, 29 (Louvain, 1961), p.305 Google Scholar, line 29. The example is important because the position of the antiphon before the introit for Easter Day is directly comparable to that of a trope.
