[I give the various directions and rubrics referring to the sepulchre from the _Consuetudinary_ (†1210), _Ordinal_ (†1270), _Customary_ (first half of fourteenth century), _Processional_ (1508, &c.), _Missal_ (1526, &c.), and _Breviary_ (1531). The printed sixteenth-century rubrics practically reproduce the later _Ordinal_ of the middle of the fourteenth century.] _The Depositio._ [From the _Processional_, with which the _Missal_ practically agrees.] Finitis vesperis, exuat sacerdos casulam, et sumens secum unum de praelatis in superpelliceis discalceati reponant crucem cum corpore dominico [scilicet in pixide, _Missal_] in sepulcrum incipiens ipse solus hoc responsorium _Aestimatus sum_, genuflectendo cum socio suo, quo incepto statim surgat. Similiter fiat in responsorio _Sepullo Domino_. Chorus totum responsorium prosequatur cum suo versu, genuflectendo per totum tempus usque ad finem servitii. Responsoria ut sic: _Aestimatus sum_. Chorus prosequatur _cum descendentibus in lacum_.... Dum praedictum responsorium canitur cum suo versu, praedicti duo sacerdotes thurificent sepulcrum, quo facto et clauso ostio, incipiet idem sacerdos responsorium _Sepulto Domino_.... Item praedicti duo sacerdotes dicant istas tres antiphonas sequentes genuflectendo continue: _In pace.... In pace factus est.... Caro mea...._ His finitis, et dictis prius orationibus ad placitum secrete ab omnibus cum genuflexione, omnibus aliis ad libitum recedentibus, ordine [non, _Missal_] servato, reinduat sacerdos casulam, et eodem modo quo accessit in principio servitii, cum diacono et subdiacono et ceteris ministris abscedat. _The Sepulchre Light._ [From the _Consuetudinary_.] In die parasceues post repositum corpus domini in sepulcro, duo cerei dimidie libre ad minus in thesauraria tota die ante sepulcrum ardebunt. In nocte sequente et exinde usque ad processionem quae fit in die pasche ante matutinas, unus illorum tantum, magnum eciam cereum paschalem. [From the _Processional_, with which the _Missal_ and _Customary_ practically agree.] Exinde [i.e. from the _Depositio_] continue ardebit unus cereus ad minus ante sepulcrum usque ad processionem quae fit in Resurrectione Dominica in die Paschae: ita tamen quod dum Psalmus _Benedictus_ canitur et cetera quae sequuntur, in sequenti nocte extinguatur: similiter et extinguatur in Vigilia Paschae, dum benedicitur novus ignis, usque accendatur cereus paschalis. _The Elevatio._ [From the _Consuetudinary_.]
