vu/src/data/hours/matins-responsories-by-book.yml

# A per-book pool of Matins responsories, matched loosely (by scriptural
# book, not exact citation) rather than tied to a specific chapter/verse —
# per the user's own description (2026-08): responsories aren't attuned to
# chapter/verse historically, so a book-level match is the right
# granularity, not a gap to fill in later with exact citations.
#
# Seeded, not a full pool — 66 of the 72 books actually used in the user's
# own bible-plan (data/hours/bible-plan/*.yml), the rest deferred bulk
# content (see TODO.md). Cycled in order
# per-day when a Nocturn-1 reading's book has more than one candidate
# responsory available; the day's own responsory count doesn't have to
# match the pool's size.
#
# `isa` sourced from a live query (Monastic Tridentinum 1617, 2026-12-15,
# a plain ferial Tuesday of Advent III — real, un-summer-contracted
# Lectio 1-3 on Isa 30:18-28) — this is genuine historical Advent-season
# Isaiah content, reused here as a loose match for the user's own
# continuous Isaiah reading even though the exact chapters differ (Isa
# 36-37 vs. the source's own Isa 30), consistent with "not attuned to
# chapter/verse."

# see TODO.md's 2026-09-04/05 entries). User-prompted (2026-09-05): a
# patristic homily (English/Sancti/01-02.txt, on Matt 23:37 "O Jerusalem,

# it is written... an eagle stirreth up her nest... spreadeth abroad her

# data/scripture/deut-32.yml's real n:11, is genuinely Deut 32:11 (not
# the breviary's own internal chant-verse-numbering for the same text,
# which splits it as 32:15-16 in Latin/Psalterium/Psalmorum/Psalm226.txt,
# the Canticle of Moses sung at Lauds). Both R./V. lines are built from
# that real liturgical text verbatim (Psalm226.txt's own accented Latin,
# its English counterpart's own translation) — genuine source text, real
# accentuation, not invented — but the responsory *pairing* itself is
# original, so marked `draft` rather than `verified` on that basis alone.

# `rom` (Romans) — like `deut` above, vu's own original composition, not a

# in the reference source (the whole Christmas-Octave `Nat0X` reading
# week) borrows an unrelated feast's own proper responsory (see TODO.md's

# Vulgate text used year-round as the standing ferial Lauds Capitulum
# (Latin/Psalterium/Special/Major Special.txt's own "Feria Laudes") and
# again at Advent I's own Capitulum (Tempora/Adv1-0.txt) — genuine

# `bar` (Baruch) — composed, not transcribed, same approach as `deut`/`rom`
# above: Baruch has no Matins responsory anywhere in the Office (Tempora
# or Sancti), but genuine liturgical Latin exists in a different part of
# the Office altogether — the Easter Vigil *Mass*'s own fourth prophecy
# (missa/Latin/Tempora/Quad6-6.txt's `[Proph_Baruch3]`, Bar 3:9-38, "Audi,
# Israël, mandáta vitæ") — user-found (2026-09-05: "it's in the misa
# section, not the horas section"). Built from that prophecy's own
# climactic close ("Hic est Deus noster... Post hæc in terris visus est,
# et cum homínibus conversátus est" — read at the Vigil precisely because
# early exegetes saw "seen upon earth, and conversed with men" as a
# prophecy of the Incarnation), genuine accented text, not invented.

# `ruth` — composed, not transcribed, like `deut`/`rom`/`bar` above, but a
# step further: unlike those three, Ruth 1:16-17 has no liturgical
# precedent anywhere in the reference source at all (no Nuptial Mass file
# even exists there to check) — this is a fresh selection on the verse's
# own merit (Ruth's declaration of loyalty to Naomi, "thy people shall be
# my people, and thy God my God"), not a recombination of text already
# used liturgically elsewhere. User-directed 2026-09-05, aware of and
# accepting that distinction. Accented Latin built by hand (this project's
# usual bulk-imported src/data/scripture/ruth-1.yml has no accents),
# cross-checked word-by-word against already-accented occurrences of the
# same words elsewhere in the reference corpus (quocúmque, pópulus tuus,
# páriter, ábeam, relínquam, moráta, morábor, móriar, moriéntem,
# suscéperit, sepultúræ) rather than guessed freehand.
ruth:
  - r:
      la: "Ne advérseris mihi, ut relínquam te et ábeam: quocúmque enim perréxeris, pergam: et ubi moráta fúeris, et ego páriter morábor: * Pópulus tuus, pópulus meus: et Deus tuus, Deus meus."

# `2esdr` (Nehemiah) — composed like `bar`, not invented like `ruth`: a
# prior pass wrongly bundled this book in with `ezra`'s "one thin,

# it. There IS a real, unambiguous citation, again in the Missa rather
# than the Horas — Ember Wednesday of September's own Lectio and
# Communio both quote Neh 8 (missa/Latin/Tempora/093-3.txt, `!Neh
# 8:1-10` / `!Neh 8:10`), with genuine accented Latin. R. is v.3 (Esdras
# reading the law plainly, all ears attentive to the book);
# user-selected V. is v.9 (the turn to a proclaimed holy day of no

# `1esdr` (Ezra) — composed like `ruth`, not transcribed: 1 Esdras 8:21-23
# has no liturgical precedent anywhere in the reference source (the one
# candidate lead, `Pasc7-2.txt`'s Introit citing "Esdr 2:36-37", turned
# out to be a text mismatch, likely a different, non-canonical "Esdras"
# altogether — see the entry above; left unrelated to this one). User
# picked v.22's antithesis ("the hand of our God is upon all them that
# seek him in goodness: and his power and strength, and wrath upon all
# them that forsake him") as the strongest content, but the Vulgate's
# own clause order puts the wrath half last — a sour note to end the
# repeated (`*`) clause on, especially right after v.23's "it fell out
# prosperously." Edited: the two halves of v.22 are swapped so the
# hopeful clause is the one repeated, same words, no invention. V. is
# v.23 unaltered. Source has no accents (like `ruth-1.yml`); Latin
# hand-accented, cross-checked word-by-word against already-accented
# occurrences elsewhere in the corpus (impérium, fortitúdo, derelínquunt,
# bonitáte, jejunávimus, próspere) rather than guessed freehand.

# `jos` (Josue/Joshua; `BOOK_ALIASES` maps `josh` to this canonical id) —
# composed, not transcribed, like `ruth`/`1esdr` above: Josue 24:15-16 has
# no liturgical precedent anywhere in the reference source
# at all (confirmed 2026-09-05 — every "Josue" hit in the corpus is an
# incidental mention of the person inside unrelated books' readings, not
# the Book of Josue's own text). Fresh selection on the verse's own
# merit: Joshua's challenge and the people's reply are already a
# two-voice exchange, mapping directly onto R./V. form. User-directed
# 2026-09-05, confirmed the asterisk placement (before "Ego autem",
# keeping the full choice-clause as R. and the famous declaration as the
# repeated close) and V. wording (kept whole, including "Respondítque
# pópulus, et ait"). Source has no accents (like `ruth-1.yml`/`1esdr`);
# Latin hand-accented, cross-checked word-by-word against already-accented
# occurrences elsewhere in the corpus (vidétur, Dómino, óptio [unaccented:
# 2 syllables], elígite, hódie, potíssimum, servíre, debeátis, serviérunt,
# Mesopotámia, habitátis, serviémus, Respondítque, pópulus, relinquámus,
# serviámus, aliénis). `Amorreorum` kept in the spelling this book's own
# bulk-imported src/data/scripture/jos-24.yml uses (no `h`, single `r`),
# not the Clementine `Amorrhæórum` spelling found elsewhere in the corpus
# (e.g. Ps 134/135), since that's this book's own source-text tradition.
