Cannot be a 500-year tradition[edit]

Note the boldfaced items below:

…it is also sung from Magdalen Tower at 6am every 1 May, a tradition of more than 500 years.…

The music is composed by Benjamin Rogers, "Doctor of Musique of the University of Oxon, 1685" and is entered on a folio bearing the date 1673 indicating that it may have been written prior to that date. The lyrics were alleged to have been written by Dr. Nathaniel Ingelo, to be sung "at the civic feast at Guildhall on the 5th July, 1660, while the king and the other royal personages were at dinner" however, the words of Ingelo's hymn differ significantly.[1]

While the tower is old enough for the tradition of singing a May morning hymn or two from its top to have been in place there for 500 years, if the Hymnus Eucharisticus only dates back to the latter half of the 1600s, it is not yet possible for the tradition of singing this hymn to have been in place there for 500 years; either the number of years needs to be revised in the light of the evidence, or the tradition needs to be dealt with in the Magdalen Tower article rather than here. imho --Haruo (talk) 00:57, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
