The <entity_0> is a Marian <entity_3> originally approved in 1587 by Pope Sixtus V. It is also known as the <entity_1> (Litaniae lauretanae in Latin), after its first-known place of origin, the Shrine of Our Lady of <entity_2> (Italy), where its usage was recorded as early as 1558. The liturgical books contain two Marian litanies: The <entity_1>, repeatedly recommended by the Roman Pontiffs; and the Litany for the Coronation of Images of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which can be an appropriate substitute for the other <entity_3> on certain occasions. There is a great lack of documentary evidence concerning the origin of the <entity_1>, the growth and development of the <entity_3> into the forms under which it is known, and as it was for the first time definitely approved by the Catholic Church in the year 1587. It would seem that this action on the part of the pope led the clergy of <entity_2> to fear that the text of their <entity_3> was likewise prohibited. This new <entity_3> was set to music by the choirmaster of the Basilica of <entity_2>, Costanzo Porta, and printed at Venice in 1575. The judgment concluded that the <entity_3> might be sung at <entity_2> as a devotion proper to this shrine, and if others wanted to adopt it they might do so by way of private devotion. This attempt having failed, the Scriptural <entity_3> straightway began to lose favor, and the <entity_2> text was once more resumed. In another manual for pilgrims, published that same year 1578, the Scriptural <entity_3> is omitted, and the old <entity_2> text appears.
