Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2009
Extract
This article was originally designed as an essay supplementing the edition of tropes of the proper of mass of the Easter season in Corpus Troporum III (cf. the essay on the Christmas tropes in CT I, 1976). The circumstances of publication of CT have changed meantime, and the editor of this Journal is grateful to the author and to Dr.Ritva Jonsson, director of the CT project, for having made possible the publication of the essay here.
