Note to Anon Lil 36VII

[7] offraz ‘offered’: The verbal echo of offri ‘offering’ (l. 3) points out the relationship between the offering of the Magi and Jesus’ offering of himself. Cf. the secreta of the mass for the Epiphany: Ecclesie tue quesumus domine dona propicius intuere. quibus non iam aurus thus et mirrha profertur: sed quod eiſdem muneribus declaratur immolatur et sumitur. Jesus Christus dominus noster ‘Lord, we ask that you regard propitiously the gifts of your church, through which not gold, frankincense, and myrrh are offered, but that which by these gifts is proclaimed, sacrificed, and taken up: Jesus Christ, our Lord’ (Missale pro usu totius regni Norvegie … 1519, a.xviiv).
