I suspect Chinese whispers: "full of references" sounds like an exaggeration
to me. I am trying to work through the Latin of:
H.A. Wilson, The Pontifical of Magdalen College, Oxford: With an appendix of
extracts from other English mss of the twelfth century (London, 1910) Henry
Bradshaw Society, vol. 39.
This is probably according to the Exeter Use, which approximates to Sarum.
There is a Lesson which is taken from Rev. 21, 2-5.
