Medieval Coronation Mass cross-references, take II



I'm gonna try this again as I don't think it went throught the first time.

Esteemed Listmembers, I call upon your great store of knowledge,

A friend researching medieval Coronation Masses posed this question on
another list I'm on.  Does anyone know of any resource that might do what
he's looking for (details follow in the forwarded message)?

Please reply to me, and I will forward them on to him.  If people want, I'll
also compile a list of results for the list.  Thanks in advance for any
help.

Forward begins:
<snip> I had in mind something very specific, one that cuts across a large
number of libraries. . . .
There are a number of recensions/editions of English coronation masses
floating around, in a number of European libraries. When I come across a
coronation mass in a particular book, the author will, obviously, cite where
the original is - but if I go to another author using the same mass,
_his_original of that same mass might have come from a different library,
way over on the other side of the Continent.
What I'm needing to do, therefore, is come up with a, ummmm, concordance, I
guess it might be called, of coronation mass texts -
one part would be a "this library has these texts, and this libray has those
texts", and the other would be "this text is in these libraries, and that
text is in those libraries". And the masses would be cross-referenced to
which king(s) used them. . .<snip>
