Canticum Evangelicum.
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
"Benedictus" was sometimes so called, probably to distinguish it from the other canticle said at Lauds, which is taken from the Old Test. This expression occurs in a MS. pontifical of the Church of Poictiers of about A.D. 800, and elsewhere.
