ANTIPHONARIUM; with accentual notes, and the hymns in many cases written at length. In the service for the Epiphany is introduced a miracle-play on the subject of the visit of the Magi to Herod, f. 8b; and in the services for Palm Sunday and Easter are shorter interpolations of a quasi-dramatic character, ff. 27 b, 41 b. From the prominence given to SS. Arbogastus, Florentius, and Aurelia [see ff. 54 b, 58, 59 b, 76 b] it is probable that the use is that of Strassburg.

Description from Augustus Hughes-Hughes, Catalogue of Manuscript Music:
ff. 8b-11 Miracle-Play of ‘The Three Kings,' or ‘The Adoration of the Magi,’ introduced in an Office for the Octave of the Epiphany, which forms part of a Processional written for Strassburg Cathedral. It begins abruptly — without any heading — after the ‘Magnificat,' with the words ‘Stella fulgore nimio rutilat,’ assigned to one of the Magi. The other characters are the other two Magi, the King (Herod), a Messenger, an Armour-bearer, Scribes, a Chorus, Shepherds, Midwives, and an Angel. The Play ends where the Armour-bearer announces to Herod that the Magi have deceived him and gone home another way, the King thereupon exclaiming, ‘Incendium meum ruina extinguam.’ These words are immediately followed by the Office for S. Hilary's day. The Play has a considerable resemblance to the one in the Orleans Library (no. 178), though the latter begins differently — with the appearance of the Angel and the heavenly hosts to the Shepherds. The MS. in the Bibliotheque Nationale (no. 904) commences in the same way as the present MS., but has otherwise very little in common with it (see Coussemaker's 'Drames Liturgiques', pp. 143, 243). The greater part of the text is accompanied by musical notes or neums of the early Gothic form.
