6 Maloy argues (pp. 31, 50) that the offertory had a preconceived musical form (i.e. with verses and repetenda) which the texts were arranged to accommodate.

8 Although the verses of the offertories are generally said to have ‘disappeared’ in the later Middle Ages, this is not entirely the case. In the Salisbury rite they were included during the week on vacant ferial days in Advent and Lent, on alternate days if there were more than one verse. More surprisingly, as Theodore Karp has shown (The Post-Tridentine Mass Proper (Middleton, Wisconsin, 2005), 1:144, 257), they resurface in the Graduale Lugdunense of 1738.
