Summary
The liturgical hymns included in this appendix are a selection of those recorded in peninsular liturgical books and are included to enable cross-referencing with the literary sources included in the chapters.
In each case the records show the hymn type (prosa, verbeta), where this is recorded in the manuscript or early print liturgy. The prosa is the liturgical hymn at the Mass. The verbeta is a liturgical hymn mainly associated with new feasts and local cults. The entry also lists the archives and manuscripts or print sources where the hymn is recorded. Each entry also shows the point in the liturgy where the hymn appears. This may be at matins, compline, or night prayer (III Nocturno, for example, indicates third night prayer). Each entry records the date of the manuscript. Where the hymns appear in Analecta Hymnica or Repertorium Hymnologicum it is noted.
The entries are divided according to the principal Marian feasts (Conception, Assumption, Nativity of the Virgin). The feasts are listed in calendar order.
Where words appeared in the manuscript or printed book in a shortened form or were omitted, they are added in square brackets.
RH codes are listed where possible. AH entries are listed by volume number and page within the volume (30, 93). Reference to Mone's collection is also provided.

Sub matris alui termine
Deus plene te lauauit
et suo sancto flamine
mox te sanctificauit.
Caritatis ligamine
ipse te confirmauit
Peccatum numquam minime
[ex tunc] in te regnauit.
Pro nostro consolamine

Tota pulchra es,
uirgo sacrat[a],
Nunquam labe aliqua,
es maculata.
Plena gratia
fuit concepta,
a patre mundissima
est generata.
Gracia inmittitur
in illo instanti,
Quo anima inducitur
a preseruanti.
