General Note

None of the four versions of this Credo (in D-Mbs Mus. MS 3224, GB-Ob MS. Canon. Misc. 213, I-Bc Q.15, I-Bu MS 2216) are completely concordant: there are differences in both the tenor and the contratenor. Widaman, 'The Mass Ordinary Settings of Arnold de Lantins' (vol. 2), has edited these four versions in parallel.
