Most of the poems (hymns / translations) are headed with a brief note about the source or circumstances of composition, and suffixed with a date of composition or first publication. The author's Preface ends:
" ... The writer has so often had requests from various persons, at home and abroad, for the correct texts of his contributions to the service of Christian song, that he has felt constrained to prepare this complete and accurate edition of them."New York, 1875"

Edited by Archbishop Charles de Vintemille. This was the last - of hymnological significance - in a series of Parisian Breviaries. As well as liturgical material for Office Services, it contained a selection of hymns by authors ranging from Ambrose to those contemporary with the Breviary itself, of whom the most important at the time of publication was Charles Coffin. Several of his hymns, published in the same year in his Hymni Sacri, were also included in the Breviary.
John Chandler, who translated a number of the hymns in the 1736 Breviary, wrote in the Preface to his Hymns of the Primitive Church of the inspiration which he had received from it.

"Gradual" : An anthem sung between the Epistle and Gospel ... so called because it used to be sung either from one of the altar steps, or from one of the lower steps of the ambo into which the Deacon ascended to read the gospel. It was usually taken, with its verses, from the Book of Psalms ... ( definition taken from Julian, p.449 ).
The Paris Gradual would contain the melodies sung at that particular place and time.

Translated by Matthew Parker while in exile in Geneva, 1553-58. It included a version of `Veni Creator Spiritus', beginning `Come, Holy Ghost, eternall God'.

Contains indexes of hymns by First Line, tunes by Name, and tunes by Metre, assembled from 37 hymn-books and supplements which were in current use in 1980. The list covers all the major denominations of trinitarian Churches in the U.K., together with the Salvation Army hymn-book and a number of non-denominational books such as Songs of Praise and BBC publications.
A revised or supplemental version, drawn from hymn-books published since 1980, was considered by the Hymn Society of G.B. & I. in 1993. The project was subsequently taken over by the Pratt Green Trust and developed as the HymnQuest Database, eventually issued in trial form in 1997 and as a fully operational CD in April 2000. (For further details of HymnQuest, see separate page.)

A collection of tunes made by a young Finnish student at the University of Rostock, named Didrick Pedersen (a.k.a. Theodoric Petri / Theodore Peter Rhuta). It contained 75 canticles, all with melody and some with additional parts for two, three or four voices. The first 70 pp. contained Cantiones de Nativitate, then followed de Passione, de Resurrectione, and several other sections, ending with two songs De Tempora Vernali.
In 1853 a copy was obtained by Thomas Helmore, who introduced some of the tunes to J.M.Neale. A serendipitous result of the encounter was the latter's composition of "Good King Wenceslas", without which no street carol-singing would be complete; this was written for the tune to the carol `Tempus adest floridum' (cf. OBC-99 and the footnote there), from the final section of Piae Cantiones.
