[pro]pheta magnus surrexit in nobis & quia Deus visitavit plebem suum [enouae] ane


This was sung on the 16th Sunday after Pentecost. It is the second half of Luke 7: 16

(accepit autem omnes timor et magnificabant Deum dicentes quia propheta magnus

surrexit in nobis et quia Deus visitavit plebem suam)

 

Ancilla dixit Petro vere tu ex illis es nam & loquele tua manifestu te facit [enouae] ane

This was sung on the Wednesday of Holy week

 

Quotidie apud vos eram in templo docens & non me tenuisitis & ecce flagellatum ducitis ad crucifigendum enouae.

These words, cited in René-Jean Hesbert, Corpus antiphonalium Officii, nr. 4570 are partly from Mark 14: 49 and Mark 15: 15.

These are the first three antiphons sung on the evening of the Sunday between the

circumcision and the Epiphany in the Antiphonale Romanum.
