Notes

WARD 1986, 506 proposes a “virtual” five-motet cycle including also M068 Accepta Christi munera. This hypothesis is accepted by ROSSI 2019A, 221-222, who, in MM 1, xxx, xxxii, further adds to this "virtual" cycle a sixth motet,Trophaeum crucis (Librone 1, ff. 31v-32r). See also the shorter cognate cycle C33a.
