note: see CattinRP, 385; BridgmanM, 208-9; JeppesenF, iii, 176-7 (cc. text ed. 158-9); RubsamenLS, 21. Music ed. w/both texts from P676 (a3) & Panc27 (a4) in LuisiLG, ii, 150-1; JeppesenF, iii, 299-300 (Triv55; a3). Text of ‘Ave di cieli’ (an ‘Ave Maria’ acrostic) ed. LuisiLG, i, 260-1 (as ‘Ave di cieli santa imperatrice’, the more usual form of the title); in P676 w/rubric ‘Pro lauda virginis mariae’ & the lauda incipit above. Text of cc. attr. to Serafino Aquilano in some literary mss. I could not verify the assertion in CattinNR, 308 that the work was also to be found in ModF.9.9, no. 12. JeppesenF, ii, 192 & CattinRP, 385 also report a setting of ‘Contento in foco’ in Pesaro, Biblioteca Oliveriana, MS 1144 (1193), pp. 70-71. There is no conclusive evidence that this lauda and its link were known and sung in Florence, and its inclusion in the database is based solely on Poliziano’s authorship of the cc. text, and the tendency of lauda contrafacta in north Italian sources to have Florentine connections.
