Context: I'm reproducing a booklet on the Little Office of the Immaculate Conception here's the work in progress on gitlab Page 34 has the antiphon: "Haec est virga in qua nec nodus originalis nec cortex actualis culpae fuit". I'd like to include the chant - and this is the one single solitary antiphon in the whole little office and the tune has to be out there somewhere!
Thank you @igneus! That's fantastic! I wonder how this particular Antiphon ended up in the Little Office. I'll have a go at transcribing it - the notes are clear, but might be a bit fudgy mapping across to gabc neumes. I'm adding it to gregobase, but not sure what version to put - Hispanic/Franciscan? I'll put this thread in the reference field.

The antiphon&versicle&prayer at the end are taken from the official liturgical texts, sort of a commemoration of the feast of Immaculate Conception. It's somewhat unusual to take a psalm antiphon for this purpose (instead of a Benedictus/Magnificat one), but it's a lovely piece and expresses the particular idea of the feast well, while the Benedictus and Magnificat antiphons are just general stuff from the Song of songs.
