"Although ''Novum et insigne opus musicum'' (1537) is the earliest printed source, it has been shown that ''Nymphes nappés'' was the original text and ''Haec dicit Dominus'' is a contrafactum made by Conrad Rupsch (c.1475-1530). The use of Circumdederunt me as a cantus firmus is a treatment also made in Sic Deus dilexit mundum (Josquin des Prez)"
