ANTIPHONARIUM, Swedish. In comparison with the breviaries of Linköping (printed in 1493) and Strängnäs (printed in 1495), for example, only one deviation is to be found.The opening passage of the gospel, leading to the homilies (written by Gregory the Great) of the III nocturn, has the following form: Simile est regnum celorum thesauro in Antiphoner No. 19.The said breviaries prefer the reading: Simile [...] decern virginibus. In a letter to the present writer Dr. Sven Helander states that, as far he knows, this reading occurs only in an early manuscript breviary for the diocese of Linköping (described in Helander 1957 pp. 75-76). Helander 1995.
According to an annotation in the margin there is an alternative for the verse VTradidit in the 3rd resp. Induit me Dominus (Hesbert 1970 No. 6955) of the II noct., i.e. V Induit me. This change can be associated with Uppsala (Breviarium Upsalense 1496 f. C [j]') and Skara (Breviarium Scarense 1498 f.CXV"), at least.
F. un. [Agnetis virginis] beginning tota deuotione of the 2nd resp. of the II noct., [Ipsi sum desponsata] V Propter, and ending sacrilegi tyran[ni] of the ant. ad Magnificat at II vespers, Beata agues in. "S" II vespers of St. Agnes is not superseded by I vespers of St. Vincent. Cf. Dirks 1983 pp. 82-83 (relating to the liturgical ranks in the Dominican sanctorale).
