[1] diei] dei D-Mbs 3154, T
[2] resplendere] respledere D-Mbs 3154, C
This text was edited according to D-Mbs 3154, ff. 39v–40r. Only minor mistakes are found out in this motet: the copyist wrote in T dei (‘of God’) instead diei (‘of the day’) and forgot the abbreviation sign for a nasal consonant (n) in C in the word resplendere (‘to shine’). For a further commentary on this motet see the General Commentary.
