| [&] author of original | [&] according to AH, one ms has this office as an appendix, with the rubric incipit historia nova de sancto Wenceslao martyre duce Bohemorum per dominum Carolum imperatorem Romanorum regem Bohemiae compilata [Charles IV, 1355~78]; but apart from the lessons the office is the same as that in the body of the manuscript, suggesting that Charles wrote only the new lessons. |
