It survives only in the edition ogl-pl, which may represent a single manuscript tradition, and its transmission history is unclear. The liturgy was not adopted into the Roman Rite and appears to have been limited to local use in Besançon, possibly suppressed after Tridentine reforms. The attribution to Protandius may be a later ascription, as no contemporary external evidence confirms his authorship. The text includes acclamations with a tripartite structure and the phrase 'Exaudi, Christe,' which is unusual in later Roman liturgy but may reflect Gallican usage.","historical_context":"The work is attributed to Protandius, a bishop of Besançon (Vesontio) venerated as a saint, but his dates are not securely established; he is often placed in the 7th century, though the liturgy likely reflects Carolingian or early medieval Gallican practice. Besançon was an important ecclesiastical center in the Frankish kingdom, and its liturgy would have been shaped by Gallican traditions before the gradual imposition of the Roman Rite. The text survives only in the edition ogl-pl, which may derive from a single manuscript, making it difficult to assess its textual history or variants. The liturgy's limited reception suggests it was a local use, possibly suppressed after the Council of Trent (1545–1563) as part of Romanizing reforms. The acclamations, including the direct address 'Exaudi, Christe,' are known from other Gallican sources and persisted in some Gallican churches into the 17th–18th centuries, indicating a long but localized tradition.","significance":"The Liturgia attributed to Protandius is significant as a witness to Gallican liturgical practice, particularly its acclamations and the direct address to Christ ('Exaudi, Christe'), which differ from later Roman usage. It illustrates the diversity of early medieval Western liturgy and the persistence of local traditions despite Romanizing trends. The text also raises questions about authorship and transmission, highlighting the challenges of studying liturgical works with uncertain provenance.","timeline":[{"date":"7th c.
