medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Tom Izbicki's post inspired me to check my bookshelves.
Although quite dated, Julian's _Dictionary of Hymnology_ (rev. ed., 1908)
is often helpful for this sort of thing. Here's an OCR version of the
article (minus the section on translations in common use) on the hymn:
O nata lux de lumine. [The Tranfiguration.] The oldest text known of this
hymn is in G. M. Dreves's _Hymnarius Moissiacensis_, 1888, from a 10th
cent. MS.: and in two Rheinau MSS. now in the University Library at Zürich,
No. 91 of the 11th cent.; No. 82 of the 11th or 12th cent. It is also in an
early 14th cent. MS. in the Bodleian (Ashmole 1523f. 247): in the _Sarum
Breviary_, Venice, 1495, the _Aberdeen Breviary_ of 1509, &c. The printed
text is also in Card. Newman's _Hymni Ecclesiae_, 1838 and 1865; Daniel,
iv. p. 161, &c.
(end quote)
"Daniel" refers to:
Daniel, Hermann Adalbert, 1812-1871. Thesaurus hymnologicus sive Hymnorum,
canticorum, sequentiarum circa annum MD usitatarum collectio amplissima.,
Carmina collegit, apparatu critico ornavit, veterum interpretum notas
selectas suasque adiecit Herm. Adalbert. Daniel, Ph. Dr. Halis, sumptibus
E. Anton, 1841-56. 5 v. 22 cm.
a work also reprinted by Olms in 1973.
