  Note

  (1r) Musical notation for antiphon, verse and responsory. Begins imperfectly in antiphon for Magnificat at First Vespers for the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost: (Unxerunt Salomonem Sadoc sacerdos et Nathan pro)pheta regem in Gihon: et procedentes laeti dixerunt uiuat rex Salomon seculorum. This differs slightly from the wording of the antiphon in the 1568 editio princeps of the Breviarium Romanum
