With ’Catalogus Hymnorum’ (table of contents). 

From the begining until ’Hymnus Epiphaniae’, the words are from the Cathemerinon of Prudentius. The text for ’Arma uirum[que], Troie’ is from Virgil’s Aeneid and for ’Daphnis ego in syluis’ from Virgil’s Fifth Ecogue. 

Clement A. Miller in New Grove states that fourteen compositions in this collection are by Hordisch (the titles are not given); however, only eight are attributed in the print (and in the RISM B/1 index).
