Sacred Leaves Manuscript Collection

More than any other office of the Virgin, Matins offers the most varied collection of additional prayers, hymns, and psalms. Any number of these accessory texts could be recited along with the standard Hour at daybreak, serving to reinforce both the natural experience of a new day, and the metaphysical theme of the Incarnation as embodied by the text's traditional illumination, the Annunciation. The concluding hymn Te Deum laudamus, is a hymn of thanksgiving also reserved for the most exultant occasions of church and state, such as the coronation of a king, or the canonization of a saint.
