"Cantus is a database of the Latin chants found in manuscripts and early printed books, primarily from medieval Europe. This searchable digital archive holds inventories of antiphoners and breviaries -- the main sources for the music sung in the Latin liturgical Office -- as well as graduals and other sources for music of the Mass."

& examples integrating modern score & words with original spelling & manuscript images. I've bookmarked the new website, cantusdatabase.org/
