Motet

Text (ed. by Eva Ferro)

Edition	Translation
‘Crucifige’ clamitant hora tertiarum, ⟨Illusus induitur veste purpurarum,⟩ Caput eius pungitur^[1] corona spinarum, Crucem portat humeris^[2] ad locum poenarum.	‘Crucify’ they cry out at the third hour. Laughed at, he is dressed with a purple robe, his forehead is pierced with a crown of thorns, he carries a cross on his shoulders to the place of tortures.

^[1] pungitur] after pungitur the Cantus of D-Mbs 3154 adds the words ciuitatis suum

^[2] humeris] humerus D-Mbs 3154, C

This edition is based on D-Mbs 3154, ff. 45v–46r. The text of this motet had to be emended in three places: first, in line 3 after ‘pungitur’ the Cantus of D-Mbs 3154 adds the words ‘civitatis suum’, clearly a mistake. Furthermore, line 2 was added in the edition: at this point the Cantus has twelve breves’ rest and the other voices probably sang the missing line. Lastly, in line 4, the word ‘humerus’ had to be corrected to ‘humeris’ (see the General commentary).
