Synthesized answer
Based solely on the provided passages, the book "Missa Papae Marcelli" is not a standalone work but appears within the context of *A Dictionary of Music and Musicians* edited by George Grove [Passage 3].

Additionally, the dictionary's structure means you would need access to the physical or digital volumes to search within them, as the provided excerpts do not include a full index or table of contents for the letter "P" [Passage 3]. The passages do not…
