This edition is based on Librone 1, ff. 136v–137r, where the text was written by Scribe A. The copyist made a few mistakes (‘salvatorem’ for salvatoris in T and B, ‘resurgente’ for resurgentem in C and T, ‘pladens’ for plaudens in C), which have been emended in the edition.
The subject is again Marian devotion: the Virgin Mary is directly addressed with ‘Salve’ (‘Hail’), with which almost all lines open. The three stanzas summarize Mary’s story in a nutshell: in stanza 1 the annunciation and nativity (‘virgo salutata’, ‘partu decorata’), in stanza 2 Jesus’ resurrection and ascension (‘gaudens resurgentem’, ‘plaudens ascendentem’), in stanza 3 Mary’s assumption into heaven (‘scandens ad superna’) and her role as mediator and guide for sinners (‘Tuos famulos guberna / Ducens ante filium’). The metrical form of the poem (8p/8p/7pp) hints at the fact that its primary source was a sequence for Marian devotion.
