Further notes: 

THOMPSON 2005, 370 considers this “prayer-poem” as typical of the period in Communal Italy, in its being “restrained, biblical, and Christologically sensitive” (Thompson reproduces the text from an early-fourteenth-century devotional miscellany from Bologna and gives a translation).
