The liturgical office de spina corone is supposed to have been written around the year
1300. The variant tables of chant melodies contain melodies transmitted in three
preserved sources, two in Sweden and one in Denmark, containing some of the
responsories and antiphons for Matins and the Psalm antiphons for Lauds and
fragments of the Benedictus antiphon. In a few cases comparative melodies from the
office for St. Eskil are included. They might be models (or vice versa) or just modally
related.
Edition and complementary material was prepared by Ann-Marie Nilsson during a
research project (2006-2008) ”Medieval chant for Swedish saints”, financed by the
Swedish Research Council.
