Text and translations

With the exception of the Morales (where the source couldn't be checked) all editions use the spelling "Domino".

Latin text Inter natos mulierum non surrexit maior Iohanne Baptista qui viam Domino(i) praeparavit in heremo. Alleluia. Variant 1 Fuit homo missus a Deo cui nomen erat Iohannes, qui viam Domino(i) praeparavit in heremo. Variant 2 Ecce Agnus Dei, qui tollit peccata mundi.

English translation Among those born of women there arose none greater than John the Baptist who prepared the way for(of) the Lord in the wilderness. Alleluia. Variant 1 A man was sent by God whose name was John, who prepared the way for(of) the Lord in the wilderness. Variant 2 Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world.
