Indexing notes:
Two things of note: Cantus ID and Text Fields.
Because of significant erasures to the original level, it is difficult to identify the original text. That said, the text is a likely match with 008284.1, as these have the same final verse and also a "Te deprecamur" verse (vs. "Te sancta fides" in 008284). At the same time, 008284.1 has an extra verse ("Occasum sol") that is absent here and both 008284.1 and 008284 use "pro" instead of "et" in the final verse, making the match close but not exact.
Regarding the text fields, note that the MS Spelling Field records the visible palimpsest layer (rather than imagined spelling of the erasures). As such, the Standardized Spellings Field and MS Spellings Field reflect two different layers of the manuscript: the original layer and Urban VIII changes to the hymnary in 1632. To make this visible, the original layer is indicated using lower-case letters in the Manuscript Spellings field and the Urban VIII palimpsest layer in capital letters.
The "Amen" is either polyphonic or rendered decoratively.
