Paired with Lantins Gloria [22882], well matched despite the different ascriptions, and Gloria was accepted (by Besseler and others) as a work of Du Fay. Schoop 1971, 48-9, argues for Gloria authorship of Hugo de Lantins, as ascribed in Ao and Q15, where in both cases it is paired with Du Fay's Credo, and suggests that the Ox copyist 'corrected' the ascription on the wrong piece, Ox #124. Or was it ascribed to Du Fay in Ox on the assumption that pairs must be by the same composer? Fallows 1995a agrees with Schoop, but indexes the Q15 Gloria only as a work of Lantins, and the Gloria Ox #124, ff. 59v-60, attributed to Hugo, only as a work of Du Fay; although probably correct, this conceals the actual attributions. Fallows 1982, 175-7 suggests some kind of cooperation or rivalry between the two composers.
