The differences between Old-Roman, Ambrosian, Aquileian, Gallican, and Hispanic chant, and their interconnections with each other and the Gregorian chant occupied Michel Huglo in his early career, although he returned to these questions in the 1980s and 1990s. The present volume, the second in the set of four to be published in the Variorum series, brings all this work together. Huglo's 1954 article, the first to describe the sources for Old Roman chant, recognized as distinct from Gregorian chant, is of primary significance for the historiography of Western plainchant, because it opened the debate on the relationship between Old Roman and Gregorian chant. The final section presents articles on the Latin version of the Akathistos hymn and on Byzantine chants translated into Latin that became part of the Western plainchant repertory. Les diff???rences entre les r???pertoires Vieux-romain, Ambrosien, Aquil???ien, Gallican et Hispanique, leurs influences r???ciproques et leurs relations avec le chant gr???gorien ont occup??? Michel Huglo au d???but de sa carri???re: il revint sur ces questions dans les ann???es 1980 et 1990. Ce volume, le deuxi???me d'une s???rie de quatre dans la collection Variorum, r???unit toutes ces ???tudes. L'article de 1954 de Michel Huglo sur les sources du chant Vieux-romain, consid???r??? comme distinct du gr???gorien, est de premi???re importance pour l'historiographie du plain-chant occidental, car il a ouvert les d???bats sur le rapport entre Vieux-romain et gr???gorien. Les articles sur la version latine de l'Hymne Acathiste et sur les pi???ces de chant byzantin traduites en latin dans les r???pertoires occidentaux du plain-chant ach???vent ce volume.
