I am in need of the Propers of the Mass for St. Scholastica. The only one I have currently is a sequence.
I imagine that at some point Solesmes has published them in a particular book. Perhaps there is a book that specifically includes propers of the Mass for feasts proper to the Order of Saint Benedict?
I have a few scans from the "(11th c. Montecassino liturgy for St. Scholastica - found in fol. 46r of: Vatican, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, MS Ott. lat. 576. Plenary missal. South Italian , circa 1100 AD )"
The scans appear to include at least two propers for scholastica. The problem with my scans is they are too hard for me to decipher from beneventan script and notation which was used in southern italy at the time.
In the Liber Gradualis (1895) by Joseph Pothier OSB to Saint Scholastica is attributed the Common of Virgins (Commune virginis tantum, Missa Dilexisti) or where conceded special propers listed there pp. 406 et seq. of the PDF.
Introit: Surge propera, amica mea Gradual:Aquae multae Alleluja: Dilectus meus Tractus, if after Septuagesima: Inveni quem diligit Sequence: Emicat meridies Offertory:Intonuit Dominus Communion: Si manseritis in me
Looking at two of my books, the Roman Graduale (1924) and Liber Usualis (1962) suggests Dilexisti as the Proper to be sung.
If you look up St Scholastica or Feb 10th in your 1961 Graduale it should suggest which of the 3 Propers you should use, The Liber will also give and proper collects.
If you look up the 1957 Missale Romanum (scroll down left hand column to find the book and then look through until you find Feb 10th) linked here you will find the complete Mass Propers for every feast. http://www.clerus.org/bibliaclerusonline/en/index.htm
I find it is easier to search the 1957 ed. on the above site rather than the 1962 ed. At the Bottom of this message is the text that you will find for the feast. Note this is an OCR text that does contain some typos.
N.B. For the Roman rite you should be doing Dilexisti, UNLESS your church or place has permission to use other Propers. If you have a Benedictine priest, or are in a Benedictine church you can use the Propers found in the Liber Gradualis including the Sequence, I presume they have not been changed in between 1895 and 1962.

Dear Chris, may I be so bold as to ask whether you would be willing to allow me to view the folio 46r? It happens that I am in Rome at present and forgot to bring my magic handshake for access to the BAV. Thanks for your consideration.

For OF Masses, there is a section in the back of the 1974 Graduale Romanum, pp. 859-876, with propers for the Benedictine order. You can download the book as a PDF from musicasacra.com .
My 1924 Graduale has an appendix with the Benedictine supplement.
10 Feb, St Scholasticae Missa. Dilexisti vel, ubi concessa est, alia sequens. INT. Surge propera GRAD. Aquae multae ALL. Dilectus meus mihi Tract. Inveni quem diligit SEQ. Emicat merides OFF. Intonuit Dominus COMM. Si manseritis in me
The above propers are not used by all the Benedictine congregations.
OH, I'm sorry for the confusion. I was responding to the original post by Chris, which I now see was a few years old.
I'm not sure whether Chris has seen _your_ request, since he has not used the forum in recent months, but I will try to send him an e-mail letting him know of your interest.
tomjaw, you are correct. I have been unable to find it anywhere. This is the reason why I have been trying to contact Chris, who in his January 2013 posting, makes mention of having a scan of the folio.
All the best singing for St Scholastica (if permitted). I shall be joining my sisters at Our Lady of the Rock OSB Shaw Island WA for First Vespers and Mass Feb 9 and 10 using the old Antiphonale Monasticum and Graduale texts . (Second Vespers gives way to First Vespers of Sunday I think this year.) For the best experience, one needs to familiarize oneself with the Life and Legend of St Scholastica to which antiphons, chapter, responsories, hymns, and mass propers allude.
