ANTIPHONARIUM, Swedish, or Dominicanum-Aboense. Since the calendaric sequence is exceptional, the dates to which the feasts of St. Henry and St. Ann are related cannot be determined.
The same reading of this office for St.Ann (Analecta hymnica K 1889 No. 38) appears in some manuscripts of Finnish provenance (Antiphoner No. 156 f. 24, HUL Psalterium Upsalense ca. 1487 uncatalogued, supplement ff. 107r-108", and TMA Ttkad Gu 1:4 ff. 92r-97r). According to Dominican use the cycle Analecta hymnica XXV 1889 No. 24 (Breviarium Dominicanum 1485 ff. 163'-[165]r) should have been sung.
In the diocese of Abo St. Ann was possibly venerated by another non-Dominican rhymed office, i.e. Analecta hymnica XXV 1897 No. 21 (appears inTMATtkad Gu 1:5 ff. 69"-73'). Compare this to Antiphoner No. 33 ff. 6-8', which contains the same cycle as in Analecta hymnica XXV1897 No. 18.

"& Analecta hymnica V 1889 No. 38, as far as it is possible to determine.
