Further notes:
All the component motets are in more than one pars. Second/third partes are not listed in I-Mfd 1, index (except for the 3a pars of Imperatrix gloriosa), do not have separate attributions, and are linked with “verte folium” and/or “custodes”.

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.
AMMM 11 and the facsimile edn. of I-Mfd 2 propose a five-motet cycle comprising M039, M043, M044, M035, and M036; the corresponding rubric reported in AMMM 11, iii as present in the manuscript index derives, on the contrary, from an editorial annotation in SARTORI 1957, 48.

Further notes:
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:
WARD 1986, 506 proposes a “virtual” five-motet cycle including also M068 Accepta Christi munera. This hypothesis is accepted by ROSSI 2019A, 221-222, who, in MM 1, xxx, xxxii, further adds to this "virtual" cycle a sixth motet,Trophaeum crucis (Librone 1, ff. 31v-32r). See also the shorter cognate cycle C33a.
WARD 1986, 507-508 proposes the reconstruction of a “virtual” seven-motet cycle combining motets from the present cycle and C37b.
LINDMAYR-BRANDL 1992 and PAVANELLO 2009 have proposed to discard M140 (whose attribution to Gaspar is doubtful) from the cycle on textual and stylistic grounds.
MACEY 1989 proposed an extended and partially reordered cycle, including Josquin’s “little” Ave Maria and his Tu lumen, tu splendor patris. Elders discusses the hypothesis in the critical notes to the edition of the work in NJE (CC) 25.

Further notes:
M264, M265 and M268 have further concordances in F-PN Cons. Rés. F. 41 (for the foliation, see the records of the individual motets). Because of its particular nature, this source (in which the motets are inserted as handwritten additions between printed masses by Carpentras) is not listed among the Other sources of the present cycle (see http://www.diamm.ac.uk/sources/2375/#/).
