; data/ef/commons.sexp -- the Commons of the 1962 Missal (Epistle + Gospel ; citations only), plus the per-saint assignments that route a readingless ; class-3 feast to one. ; ; HAND-AUTHORED from the 1962 Missale Romanum. There is no bootstrap source: ; lectio has no Commons concept at all, and its own generator left these ; feasts with no readings (the 6 March - 5 April cluster whose RANKS its ; 2026-08-12 fix restored without backfilling readings). Every entry below ; names the Missal heading and the exact place it was read from. ; ; METHOD (the discipline this file's trustworthiness rests on). Every value ; was read in THREE independent places before being written here: ; 1. docs/research/scan1.txt -- OCR text layer of missale-romanum-1962.pdf ; (Church Music Association of America scan, 1088 pp). ; 2. docs/research/scan2.txt -- OCR text layer of ; "Missale Romanum 1962_text.pdf" (Internet Archive scan, 1140 pp). ; A DIFFERENT PRINTING: its Commune Sanctorum pagination runs 1-2 pages ; ahead of scan1's, so the bracketed page numbers the Proprium quotes ; ("de Communi ... I loco [24]" vs "(25)") differ between them. The ; Common's IDENTITY -- heading plus Mass incipit -- is what is stable, ; and is what this file keys on. Never the page number. ; 3. The rendered page images of missale-romanum-1962.pdf, read directly, ; for every value where the two OCR layers disagreed and for a ; spot-audit of the rest (pp. 484-485, 488-489, 492, 493-494, 496-498). ; Both text layers interleave the two-column page, so a line can carry text ; from two different columns; that is precisely why nothing here rests on a ; single reading. See the task report for the per-value evidence table. ; ; WHAT THE MISSAL ACTUALLY GUARANTEES -- read this before trusting a value ; here as "the" reading. The Commune Sanctorum opens with its own rubric ; (scan1:40799-40802, scan2:45519-45523, word for word in both): ; "In singulis Communibus, Epistolae et Evangelia quae habentur, sive in ; ipsis Missis, sive ad calcem totius Communis, sumi possunt in qualibet ; Missa de eodem Communi, dummodo tamen certa Missa, dicenda in casu ; prouti iacet, vel certa Epistola aut certum Evangelium in Missali non ; fuerit assignata." ; That is: within one Common, ANY of its Epistles and Gospels may be used in ; ANY of its Masses, unless a particular Mass/Epistle/Gospel is assigned. ; So a Common does NOT determine a unique Epistle+Gospel pair. What this ; file records is the narrower, fully verifiable fact: the Epistle and ; Gospel PRINTED WITH the named Mass formulary that the saint's own day ; sends him to. Several Commons additionally print explicitly-labelled ; alternatives ("Item aliae Epistolae et alia Evangelia..."); those are ; noted per entry and deliberately NOT encoded -- choosing among them is a ; celebrant's option, not a computation. ; ; ORACLE COVERAGE: none. Layer 3 (lectio, 2005-2050) has no readings for any ; of these feasts -- that is why this task exists. Layer 4 (missalemeum, ; 2026-2027) has no witness either: not one of the fifteen is the OBSERVED ; office in 2026 or 2027 (checked, not assumed). The only live witnesses are ; this repository's own unit tests and golden pins, on the four Commons that ; a real year ever reaches (see OBSERVABILITY below). ; ; ASSIGNMENT IS EXPLICIT PER SAINT, NOT INFERRED. Subject.t is ; Temporal|Saint|Bvm|Lord and Celebration.t carries no ; martyr/confessor/virgin/bishop/abbot classification at all; those words ; appear only inside display names. Inventing that taxonomy is a larger ; change than this plan carries, and a wrong inference here is invisible -- ; there is no oracle to catch it. A saint with no proper and no assignment ; gets no Common; that is a recorded gap, never a guess. ; ; SCRIPTURE-REFERENCE STYLE. Book abbreviations follow the forms already ; dominant in colitur's own data, one form per book, applied consistently ; here (the bootstrapped data is inconsistent upstream -- it carries both ; "Sir" and "Ecclus" for Ecclesiasticus, both "Wis" and "Wis." for Wisdom. ; Nothing parses these strings, so the inconsistency is cosmetic, but a ; hand-authored file should not add to it). "Ecclus" is used for ; Ecclesiasticus throughout, matching the Missal's own "Eccli." -- this file ; is transcribed from that book, so its abbreviations track the source that ; was actually read. ; ; OBSERVABILITY -- how much of this file a real year can ever reach. ; Measured over 1950-2200 against the real resolver (Calendar + Precedence ; over the shipped data), not estimated: ; * common-of-non-virgins-1 (sts-felicitas-perpetua) -- REACHED, e.g. ; 1962-03-06, 2000-03-06, 2038-03-06 (13 days in 1950-2200). ; * common-of-non-virgins-2 (frances-rome) -- REACHED, e.g. ; 2038-03-09, 2190-03-09 (2 days). ; * common-of-doctors (isidore-of-seville) -- REACHED, e.g. ; 1951-04-04, 2008-04-04, 2035-04-04 (8 days). ; * common-of-a-confessor-not-a-bishop-1 (vincent-ferrer) -- REACHED, e.g. ; 1951-04-05, 2005-04-05, 2035-04-05 (21 days). ; * common-of-supreme-pontiffs (gregory-the-great) -- NEVER reached. ; * common-of-a-confessor-bishop-1 (patrick) -- NEVER reached. ; * common-of-abbots (benedict) -- NEVER reached. ; The last three saints' dates (12, 17, 21 March) always fall in Lent or ; Passiontide, where the feria outranks a III-class feast, so they are only ; ever COMMEMORATIONS -- and colitur emits readings for the observed office ; only. Their assignments are correct data with no live witness today; a ; diocesan overlay raising one of them, or any rank change, makes them live ; immediately. They are kept rather than dropped precisely so that day ; arrives with the reading already sourced.
