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.
SCHMIDT 2017, 31 underlines that the three concordances of this cycle transmit it following Compère's cycle C44 In nomine Iesu / Officium de cruce, also linked to the Holy Week. According to him, the two cycles are stylistically similar and Compère's authorship of the cycle Popule meus has to be considered seriously.
According to DIAMM, D-Rp B. 211-215 and D-Z MS 81, 2 contain further concordances to this cycle. However, it was not possible see the images of these two sources and to determine which motets they contain.
