This Responsory Series tool was developed by Debra Lacoste within the scope of a Post-Doctoral Fellowship funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, with additional support from the ITS department of The University of Western Ontario. Dr. Lacoste would like to acknowledge the splendid "webification" of this material by Gerard Stafleu (UWO) based on her algorithm. She is also indebted to Robert Klugseder (formerly of the Universität Regensburg) for entering into a mutual exchange of data, thus minimizing data-entry for multiple research projects and resulting in proofread tables for René-Jean Hesbert's Advent responsory series.
