  • For the unique source, see Magnus liber organi, f. 318v-319r.
  • This piece is a conductus and accordingly is not based on plainchant.
  • Christopher Page has suggested plausibly that, to fit the rhyme scheme, the opening words would have originally been "Etas auri reditur"; however, the reading in the sole manuscript is grammatically correct and may represent a deliberate choice to avoid using the passive voice.
