WARD 1986, 507-508 proposes the reconstruction of a “virtual” seven-motet cycle combining motets from the present cycle and C37a.
See also information on this cycle as part of the Gaspar van Weerbeke Project.
See information on this cycle as part of The Josquin Research Project.
The source Rhau 1538 includes two motets at the beginning of the cycle, not present in the other sources: Crux triumphans and Jesus nomen dignum.
Additional concordances in mss. that do not transmit motet cycles: M176 and M177 in CH-SGs MS 462 (“Heer Liederbuch”).
