Further notes:

MM 1, xxx, xxii, adds to this cycle the motet "O beata praesulis" (I-Mfd 1, ff. 108v-109r), which shares motif links with the other motets. This four-motet cycle was first listed among "possible motetti missales cycles" by WARD 1986, 523, n. 56. According to MM 1, xxxii, this cycle has to be ascribed to Gaffurius for stylistic reasons.

C24 and C25 share the same three motets, but in C25 (from I-Mfd [4]) they surround a Mass and the order is M089-M090-M091, whereas C24 (from I-Mfd 3) is a “standalone” cycle, and the order is M090-M089-M091. There is no attribution in either book, nor in ANNALI 1885 (the Imperatrix gloriosa attributed to Gaffurius there at 169 is not M089 but M016). As for the catalogue BERWIN-HIRSCHFELD 1892, 91, it is unclear whether the Mass in included in the attribution to Gaffurius, or M089 only is intended. EITNER 1900-04, IV, 122 indicates, however, that the Mass is indeed a Missa [super] Imperatrix gloriosa; WARD 1986, 497 seems to accept the attribution and extends it to the other two motets, followed by Bonnie J. Blackburn, "Gaffurius, Franchinus," Grove Music Online. Oxford Music Online (Oxford University Press), http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com/subscriber/article/grove/music/10477.

Further notes:

All movements have concordances elsewhere in the Libroni (for the Sanctus, see I-Mfd 2, ff. 35v-36r); therefore, it is possible to access the full score of the cycle in spite of the damaged state of the reference source (notice, however, the reworkings pointed out by WARD 1986, 512-515, and see the further notes to M103).

WARD 1986, 506, 508-515 proposes and discusses the reconstruction of a “virtual” five-movement cycle including two additional motets from I-Mfd 1, ff. 149v-151r.

Further notes:

Only the motet Ave virgo gloriosa Maria mater gratiae is clearly attributed to Compère in a concordant source (I-Rvat CS 46). For the attribution of the Sanctus see M281.

According to WARD 1986, 506, Sanctus and Ave virgo gloriosa Maria mater gratiae are parts of a five-pieces cycle, whose components are dispersed in the four Libroni. In WARD’s hypothetical cycle, however, the motet O genitrix gloriosa M292 is placed between the Sanctus and Ave virgo gloriosa Maria mater gratiae.

WARD 1986 considers this a concordance for Compère’s O genetrix gloriosa (WARD 1986, 499, 506; edited in CMM 15.4 after MotettiA, ff. 4v-6r, but contained incompletely in three Libroni: I-Mfd 1, ff. 149v-150r, 2nd part; I-Mfd 2, ff. 36v-37r, 2nd part; and I-Mfd 3, ff. 51v-52r, 1st part). This piece is however not a real concordance for O genitrix gloriosa, but rather a cognate setting of a partially concordant text, with substantial musical similarities.

Not a concordance for M096.

This motet has been proposed as part of C37a by WARD 1986, and as such attributed to Weerbeke (see the record of C37a for further information). LINDMAYR-BRANDL 1992 and PAVANELLO 2009 have instead discarded it from the cycle on textual and stylistic grounds.

The Gaspar van Weerbeke Project lists it among the doubtful works.
