Jasper, R.C.D. & Cuming, G.J. (1990). "Chapter 22: Non-Roman Versions of the Canon." (pp. 155-158) In Prayers of the Eucharist: Early and Reformed. 3rd Edition, Revised and Enlarged. Collegeville, MN: The Liturgical Press. (Personal Library)
In this chapter, Jasper and Cuming consider five different liturgical fragments which can be put together to make a complete canon. "Each of the first three overlaps with the next fragment, which authenticates the sequence" (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 155). While it is not clear that the five units ever did appear together, Jasper and Cuming take them to be indicative of a typical setting which may have been widely used.
The first segment is a quotation of an orthodox source, through an anonymous Arian of the early fourth century (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 154). The second is a prayer which may have been a post-Sanctus, and which later appears in the Roman Canon. The third segment is from Ambrose, as is the fifth. The fourth is a Mozarabic post-pridie prayer, invoking the Holy Spirit.
After a brief bibliography (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 156), Jasper and Cuming provide an English version of the eucharistic material in these fragments.
