A sequentia Lebuine confessorum is found in NL-Uu 413; it is edited (text only) by Moll in Kerkgeschiedenis van Nederland voor de hervorming, deel 1(1864), pp. 527-528 (Moll refers to the old signature 311 of the manuscript) and in AH 13, p. 9. The sequence is also in NL-Uu 407 (fol. 379r). Besides, it is in manuscripts from the Commanderij Jan Baptist in Haarlem, as Lebuinus was patron saint of the Lebuinuskerk in Zoeterwoude served by this convent (NL-Hs 184 C 1). See L. Lockett in TKVNM 53.

An office is in the Zoeterwoude antiphoner NL-Hs 184 C 5 (basically the same as the translation office in NL-Uu 406).
