7 The music has actually been identified once before, in Joseph Schmidt-Görg, ‘Das gregorianische Pange-lingua bei Beethoven: Ein neuer Fund’, Der kultische Gesang der abendländischen Kirche, ed. Franz Tack (Cologne, 1950), 109–11. Schmidt-Görg, however, did not recognize it as an essentially complete and performable work, and his article appears to have been overlooked in all subsequent literature on Artaria 197.

Earlier editions of the Liber usualis include the same two versions. They are derived from medieval manuscripts, but the editors do not indicate which ones.
