Note to Anon Mey 1VII

[7] yfirpostulann ‘the chief Apostle’: The same term is used of Andrew in Anon Andr 2/1. The conjunction of invocations to Mary and Andrew also occurs in Anon Vitn 2 and Anon Mv I-III (all in st. 2), and has prompted scholarly speculation on whether all these poems in honour of either the Virgin or holy women, might not have been composed for a single religious house, where the Virgin and S. Andrew were dedicatees. See further Introduction to Vitn.
