1 The main exceptions are the libraries of France, whose Breviaries but not Antiphonals, are catalogued by the Abb, é Leroquais, V., Les Bréviaires manuscrits des bibliothèques publiques de France , 6 Vols (Paris 1934 ), and the Vatican library manuscripts catalogued by Pierre Salmon, Les Manuscrits liturgiques latins de la bibliothèque vaticane, vol. I Psautiers, Antiphonaires, Hymnaires, Collectaires, Bréviaires (Vatican 1968). The Bodleian Library has an excellent typed Handlist of Latin Liturgical Manuscripts compiled by Van Dijk, S. J. P. Many British libraries have catalogues prepared by James, M. R., and Frere's, Bibliotheca Musico-Liturgica provides an essential complement to these.

4 This is not true of Cistercian manuscripts, which are in the majority in this article: his Office appears with the Sanctorale which, of course, in Cistercian sources normally begins with the feast of St. Stephen immediately following Christmas Day rather than with St. Andrew. Google Scholar

7 There is still much inconsistency, and occasionally inaccuracy, in the naming of liturgical books, and the matter is indeed taxing. The Breviary includes rubrics and all the texts, spoken and sung, but only the texts, of the Offices, including the night Office of Matins and Lauds (no Diurnals or Nocturnals are in this catalogue). In the Noted Breviary, the sung items are provided with their plainsong. Antiphonals contain only the sung texts, with their plainsongs, of all the Offices. Google Scholar
