Abstract It may well have been Walter Howard Frere who first pointed out how useful post-Pentecost alleluias were in determining the derivation of a missal or gradual. At least, I am aware of no earlier reference. In the introduction to Graduate Sarisburiense he wrote: ‘ a synoptic table of Alleluias is by far the best test by which to discriminate between varying uses ’.Frere himself never followed through this recommendation with any systematic published survey of alleluia series. Nor did his colleague John Wickham Legg in the extensive commentary for his edition of the ‘Lytlington Missal ’ of Westminster Abbey. In fact, the alleluia series of that manuscript is one of the most important clues as to its derivation, since it is a highly characteristic one used at F é camp, Jumi è ges, Saint-Evroult, and Mont-Saint-Michel. Since then the existence of the method has become widely known.
