Lauda: 

Con umil core, con umil core-a
BaMn:7/5 (xX ABABBX)

Lauda Poet: 

Francesco d’Albizo

Notes: 

note: lauda re. S. Geronimo [Girolamo]. Rz1563 transmits 2 musical settings, both underlaid with text of ‘Ecco’l Messia’; ed. Mancuso, nos. 9-10. ‘Con umil core’ attr. to d’Albizo in Gall2, Belcari in R196, but probably d’Albizo’s by virtue of its inclusion in LA424. In LA424, lauda sent to ‘Fra Girolamo jhesuato’. Though the the lauda is attributed in some sources to Belcari, it appears in an authoritative d’Albizo source (LA424) and is not included in Belcari’s laudario (M690).
