"Ave Virgo Virginum"...sequence for what feast?

Heath

Struggling to find where this Sequence would have fit into the liturgical year...any help?

First part of text is: Ave virgo virginum ave lumen luminum

Liam

Only from Googling, not personal knowledge on my part, it looks like it would be for a votive or common of the BVM

Liam, thank you!

A 14th century French "Sequentiale" from the Convent of St. Louis de Poissy, Europe, France, lists "Ave virgo virginum ave lumen" as a sequence for Easter:

ff. 76v - 78v: Easter (Ave virgo virginum ave lumen [AH 54:433])

See: https://collections.mfa.org/objects/53348

Interesting! Thanks, Charles!

Here is the entry from the Cantus database
http://cantus.uwaterloo.ca/sequences?title=ave+virgo&siglum=&field_cantus_id_value=

You can then look at the entry in the Analecta Hymnica. Vol 54 pg 285. I do not have easy access to my files but it would be worth checking the Sarum books, and the Adam of St Victor.

There is this. Two different sequences with copious details in German - if you can make sense of it.
NB when navigating this is vols 54 & 55 bound together, the index to vol 54 is just a few pages on NOT at the end of the book, that's vol 55.
