The manuscript which “originally belonged to the Cracow Order of the Holy Ghost and later passed into private Polish hands disappeared during World War II”; however, Willi Apel obtained a photographic copy for the Isham Memorial Library of Harvard University in 1940 shortly before the German invasion of Poland.[1]
An alternatim setting of odd-numbered verses.

Salve, regina, mater misericordiae;

Vita, dulcedo et spes nostra, salve.

Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae.

Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle.

Eia ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte.

Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.

O clemens,

O pia,

O dulcis virgo Maria.
