| The fragment 1 is a piece of catholic missal,
containing fragments of four prayers from the "canon
missae" - canon of the mass: the main part of the mass,
which text does not change throughout the year and
remains always the same.
In the canon, which actually is a set of a lot
of prayers, there are two specific prayers, which may
vary according the specific feasts in the year, however.
There are a few variants of these, attributed to some
main feast in church year. The two prayers are:
"Communicantes" and "Hanc igitur" The fragment 1 shows two versions of "Communicantes" prayer and one of "Hanc igitur", connected with the Easter Day ("Resurrectio" in latin) and its eve (i.e. Holy Saturday). It begins with the fragment of other prayer "Qui pridie" which is actually a part of the consecration. Here are the latin version of the fragments of prayers in which I have marked what can be seen and the rest of the text (the unvisible on the fragment) is enclosed in brackets. [Qui pridie quam pateretur, accipit Hostiam accepit pa-] ne[m] in s[an]c[t]a[s ac vene-] rabiles [manus suas ] In vigili[a] [resurrectionis] Com[m][unicantes, et noct-] em [sacratissi-] ma[m] cele[brantes, Resur-] rectio[n]is [Domini nostri Je-] su Chri[sti] [secundum carnem] sed et m[emoriam ve-] nera[n]tes, [in primis] glo[ri]ose s[em]p[er] [Virginis Ma- rie Geni[tricis Dei et Domini nostri Jesu Christi] dem dei e[?] In die sa[nctam? resurrectionis?] Com[m][unicantes, et] di[em sacratissi-] mu[m] cele[brantes, Re-] surrecti[onis Domini nostri Jesu Chr[isti secundum] carne[m]. s[?ed et memoriam venerantes] Ha[nc] ig[itur obla-] tione[m] se[rvitutis] n[ost]re sed e[t cunctæ familiæ tuæ, quæsumus, Domine, ut placatus accipias: diesque nostros in tua pace disponas, atque ab æterna damnatione nos eripi, et in electorum tuorum jubeas grege numerari. Jungit manus. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.] What does the "dem dei e[?]" fragment refers to - I dont know. |
