medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Speaking of offices for the Immaculate Conception, I ran into a few examples in
French books of hours printed in the early 16th century. Does anyone know if
this is de Busti's office?
Tom Izbicki
Could be--but there are several. The first antiphon at First Vespers begins
'Dixit dominus domine mee: sede a dextris innocentie mee'. The hymn at Matins is
'O benedicta femina / quan celi laudent agmina'. In other offices I've seen the
hymn is 'Fletus longevi rex regum misertus' or 'Benedicta conceptio virginis
matris marie' or 'Contempnunt celebrare misteria'. Leonardo Nogarola's office
was approved in 1477; the first antiphon at First Vespers is 'Sicut lilium inter
spinas', and the hymn at Matins 'Ave maris stella'.
