But in many tropers, and in most of the later service-books in which it is found, the _Quem quaeritis_ no longer appears to be designed for use at the Mass. This is the case in the only two tropers of English use in which, so far as I know, it comes, the Winchester ones printed by Mr. Frere[34]. I reproduce the earlier of these from the Bodleian manuscript used by him[35]. ‘ANGELICA DE CHRISTI RESURRECTIONE. Quem quaeritis in sepulchro, Christicolae? _Sanctarum mulierum responsio._ Ihesum Nazarenum crucifixum, o caelicola! _Angelicae voces consolatus._ non est hic, surrexit sicut praedixerat, ite, nuntiate quia surrexit, dicentes: _Sanctarum mulierum ad omnem clerum modulatio_: alleluia! resurrexit Dominus hodie, leo fortis, Christus filius Dei! Deo gratias dicite, eia! _Dicat angelus_: venite et videte locum ubi positus erat Dominus, alleluia! alleluia! _Iterum dicat angelus_: cito euntes dicite discipulis quia surrexit Dominus, alleluia! alleluia! _Mulieri una voce canant iubilantes_: surrexit Dominus de sepulchro, qui pro nobis pependit in ligno.’ In this manuscript, which is dated by Mr. Frere in 979 or 980, the text just quoted is altogether detached from the Easter day tropes. Its heading is rubricated and immediately follows the tropes for Palm Sunday. It is followed in its turn, under a fresh rubric, by the ceremonies for Holy Saturday, beginning with the _Benedictio Cerei_. From the second, somewhat later Cambridge manuscript, probably of the early eleventh century, the Holy Saturday ceremonies have disappeared, but the _Quem quaeritis_ still precedes and does not follow the regular Easter tropes, which are headed _Tropi in die Christi Resurrectionis_[36]. The precise position which the _Quem quaeritis_ was intended to take in the Easter services is not evident from these tropers by themselves. Fortunately another document comes to our assistance. This is the _Concordia Regularis_, an appendix to the _Rule_ of St. Benedict intended for the use of the Benedictine monasteries in England reformed by Dunstan during the tenth century. The _Concordia Regularis_ was drawn up by Ethelwold, bishop of Winchester, as a result of a council of Winchester held at some uncertain date during the reign of Edgar (959-79); it may fairly be taken for granted that it fixed at least the Winchester custom. I translate the account of the _Quem quaeritis_ ceremony, which is described as forming part, not of the Mass, but of the third Nocturn at Matins on Easter morning[37].
