10. At the end of this work Charpentier wrote, in a browner ink: "... au lieu de fulget resurrectio il faut mettre splendet resurrectio," which suggests that the Church modified this text slightly between the summer of 1677 and the early 1690s.

12. Med. del Prin., [sorry: I didn't mark the "busta" and don't feel like checking my notes at this time: it's probably # 4768], May 31, 1677.

14. The closing phrases of the motet, "probasti cor meum et visitasti nocte Igne me exaministi et non est inventa in me iniquitas" are from the octave service, Missale graudale romanum juxta missali (Paris, 1669), p. 233.

17. A.N., M.C., CXII, 365, transaction, October 5, 1672; and CXII, 393, création de pension, July 25, 1685. Elisabeth Desnots was a relative of the notary.

18. Loulié's cannot be identified among the nuns signing the act with Elisabeth Desnots in 1685, which suggests that she either was considerably younger than the Guise musician (who was born in 1655) and had not yet taken her vows in 1685, or else that, like Charpentier's sister, she was a converse sister.
