Remarks

The antiphon A porta inferi is prescribed as the 4th Lauds antiphon among the Augustinian Canons Regular of Santa Cruz de Coimbra; otherwise the fragment seems to correspond to the use of Coimbra Cathedral, replicated in Évora.

Indexing notes
The textual variant (CI 001191.2) of the Antiphon 'A porta inferi' on fol. Ar is also found in E-SAu Ms 2637 fol. 250r. See http://pemdatabase.eu/image/73060. The variant (CI 002601.1) of the Antiphon 'Ego sum' is found only in two other notated sources: P-BRs (Braga) Arquivo da Sé Ms. 034, fol. 233 and I-Vlevi CF D 21 ('Cantorino processionale'). See http://cantusindex.org/id/002601.1. The standard incipit of the Responsory CI 601519 is 'Nuptam sic ex indicio sancti'. The same chant has a slightly different beginning on fol. Bv 'Nuptam sic sic indicio floris et sancti'.
