PREFACE.
THIS second volume of the catalogue of the Western Manu-
1 scripts in the Library of Trinity College comprises those
standing in Class R. In subject they are highly miscellaneous,
comprising as they do all the books that could not be classed as
theological in virtue of their principal contents. History, Poetry,
Philosophy, Law, Natural Science, Medicine and Music represent
fairly the main departments; and the mere enumeration of these
shows how wide a field for errors and omissions is open to the
cataloguer.
In truth, I have been confronted with many puzzles, and
defeated by not a few. If this volume is used by an expert in
alchemy (if such there be) or in medieval medicine, or in later
Italian history, he will most likely be able to criticize me sharply-
not, I hope, for giving him false information, but very probably
for not telling him enough. I have instanced classes of books as
to which I am conscious of ignorance; but it is equally likely that
I have erred where the path was plainer. I shall be grateful to
those who will set me right. A third volume, be it remembered,
is to come, if I am spared to write it, and I shall not scruple to
confess my mistakes when they are pointed out. I gladly borrow
the words of a monk of Dover who wrote a careful catalogue of
the books of his monastery: “Et uere non offendet compilantem,
set diliget euidenter quicumque hanc matriculam adhuc multi-
pliciter defectiuam in melius duxerit.”

PREFACE.
WYy
A few words as to the arrangement and provenance of the
books in Class R may be not unwelcome. In the first two shelves
are the accessions of recent date (none earlier than 1800). A very
large proportion of these were the gifts of Mr Samuel Sandars,
a generous benefactor alike to his College and to his University.
The third and following shelves contain books the bulk of which
are to be found in Bernard's Catalogi of 1697. The principal
donor, so far as numbers are concerned, was Sir Henry Puckering
alias Newton, for particulars of whose life the Dictionary of National
Biography may be consulted. He gave his library to the College
in 1691. Many of the manuscripts were inherited by him from his
father, Sir Adam Newton (d. 1630), who was at various times tutor
to Prince Henry, Dean of Durham, Secretary to the Council, and
Secretary to the Marches of Wales.
Puckering was no collector of antiquities. Hardly any of his
books are earlier than the seventeenth century: but his collection
is made remarkable by the presence in it of the famous Milton
manuscript. The numerous books connected with Prince Henry
have also an interest of their own: and the considerable mass of
Italian documents probably contains a good deal of interesting
matter of which hitherto not much use has been made. The
scribe of many of the Italian treatises was Jacopo di Castelvetro,
who for some time taught Italian at Cambridge. His diary is
among the Harleian Manuscripts (no. 3344).
Other donors who come before us in this Class for the first
time are Thomas Whalley, Vice-Master of the College (1637),
whose tastes appear to have run in the direction of alchemy, and
John Wilson, Fellow (B.A. 1717), a collector of old medical books.
The gifts of Whitgift and Nevile are less numerous than in
Class B: but Willmer's assume greater importance, including as
they do four precious volumes of English poetry.
Dame Anne Sadleir merits a special expression of gratitude
for her gift of an Apocalypse, which must be ranked as one of the

two finest in existence, and is certainly the most beautiful book
in Cambridge.
In my account of the most copiously illustrated manuscript in
this library—the Canterbury Psalter-I have departed from my
usual custom of describing all the pictures I meet with in ancient
books. This omission is, I think, amply justified by the following
facts. The Psalter in question forms one of a group of four books
(perhaps more) which all contain the same cycle of illustrations.
The earliest of these is the famous Utrecht Psalter, the next in
order that in the Harleian collection (no. 603), and the latest, one
at Paris. They have been studied in conjunction by Dr Anton
Springer', and will be fully treated in a work now appearing by
Dr J. J. Tikkanen of Helsingfors (Die Psalterillustration im
Mittelalter). Under these circumstances, and considering that a
full description of the pictures would have filled a very large
number of pages, I decided to call special attention to such of
them only as showed a marked divergence from their archetype,
namely, the Utrecht Psalter.
Comparatively few of the manuscripts in Class R can be traced
to English monasteries. Very many of the books are quite modern,
and others (especially those which treat of poetry, medicine, or
alchemy) are of the kind which were most likely from the first in
private hands. Still, we have books from Canterbury (including
a Livy once the property of Thomas a Becket), Bury, Dover,
Malmesbury, Winchester, and other smaller houses. I am par-
ticularly pleased at having been able to place the 'gromatic'
manuscript (R. 15. 14) at St Augustine's, Canterbury. It would
have been impossible to do so, had not I been in possession of a
copy of the unpublished catalogue of that Library.
I am afraid that those who have used my first volume may
have found the absence of an Index rather trying. I am con-
vinced, however, that if the three volumes were each of them

provided with an Index, the inconvenience would be very much
greater; and it would be a lasting one instead of being, as I hope,
only temporary.
I have appended to this Preface, besides the usual tables, and
lists of donors, a copy of those entries in Sir Edward Stanhope's
Memoriale (R. 17. 8) which throw light upon the provenance of
manuscripts now in the Library. I have found them of great use
to myself in the compilation of this catalogue, though they are by
no means as complete as could be wished.

In this volume is the following note by Professor Skeat:
"This MS of Piers Plowman contains a text made up of two different versions of the
poem, viz. of the first or earliest version, and of the third or latest.
The portion containing the earliest version (all but the Last Passus) is; from the
beginning to the end of Passus secundus de dowel-at which point the early versions end
in most MSS.
See the words
Passus tercius de dowel! Breuis oratio penetrat celum on f. 52 a.
The remainder consists of the latter part of the third version: the junction being made
(as well as it could be) by half of the quotation Breuis oratio etc.
An evident indication of this junction is afforded by noting that Passus tercius de
dowel is only 17 lines long, and is followed by Passus secundus de dobet (where dobet is
an error for dowel)—this Passus secundus being reckoned according to the system of
numbering usual in the third or latest version.”
In his edition of the poem (11. p. lxvi) he describes it thus: “mixed text, group c.
The oldest MS. of the largest group."
ff. i, ii, iii a are blank.
On iii b at the top left corner is the number · xxiij., evidently a
Library mark. And the middle of the page is occupied by a
coloured drawing (xiv) of a man ploughing with a yoke of oxen ;
while a second man plies the goad. Above this in red is written
God spede þe plouz and sende us korne I now.
This drawing is reproduced in Wright's edition, and also in
Jusserand's Piers Plowman.

A note of xiiith cent. on lower margin says
Obstitit infelix retro per duos codices (i.e. two quires back)

Quire c begins with v. 405
Perque lacus altos et olentia sulphure fertur.
and after this there seems to be no displacement. The true order
of the quires is therefore b, a, c.

The translator says that he has not inserted all the disputa-
tions, and that he has transposed the order of the story a
little. Accordingly he begins not, as the first book of the
Recognitions, with Clement's own reflections, but with the
story of his parents.
Quant nostre sire iesu crist
Charn en la seinte uirgine prist
E uint en terre pur la salu
De tut le mund ki perdu fu
En cel tens esteit a rume
Vn bien riche e puissant hume
Apele ſud faustinien
E en sa lei esteit paien.
The story of the Recognitions ends (with the episcopate of
Peter at Antioch) on f. 328. Then follows the ordination
of Clement, and Peter's charge to him, and to the people,
which is of great length.
Next follows (f. 348 6) the Passion of Peter and Paul, which
does not get beyond the dispute of Peter, Paul and Simon
Magus before Nero. After the incident of the dogs and
the bread (f. 335 6) the poem ends unfinished with these
lines
Pierres dist Symun me ad mult veu
E de mun cunseil ad mult séú
A lé me est suuent a cuntraire

Vellum, a roll folded and bound as a volunie, measuring 13 x 7,
in varying numbers of columns. Bound in white skin over boards:
clasps gone. Cent. xv late (Edward IV.).
Given by Th. Whalley, D.D., Vice-Master, 1637.
The names of the persons in the genealogical tables are written
in red circles. There are no pictures.
The text begins in three columns.
1. Considerans hystorie sacre prolixitatem necnon et difficultatem.
2. Adam in agro damasceno formatus.
3. Prima etas mundi fuit ab adam usque ad noe.
The chronology goes down to Edward IV. The text ends
with a notice of him.
Edwardus quartus filius et heres Ricardi nuper ducis Eboraci et Cecilie uxoris eius,
post decessum patris sui fuit dux Eboraci. Et coronatus est in regem anglie apud
Westmonasterium xxviijo die Junii. anno domini Mº. cccclxjº.
Henry VI., it is noted, was buried at 'Cherchessey, so that the
date of the MS. is after 1471. .

I have no doubt that it belonged to St Thomas a Becket, and I
should conjecture that he obtained it through John of Salisbury.
Pasted into the volume is a letter from Mr H. J. Roby to
Mr Aldis Wright, dated Dulwich College, Oct. 6, 1864, from which
the following extracts may be given.
“Mr Bond of the British Museum, to whom I shewed the MS.,
told me that Sir F. Madden and himself both thought that it was
written by an English hand towards the close of the 12th century,
say A.D. 1180. Bond expressed great admiration of the writing.”
Mr Roby goes on to say that there is great similarity between
this MS. and the portion of the Codex Erfurtensis now at Berlin,
which contains Cicero pro Milone.
"Madvig (Emend. ad Liv. p. 199) says that all the MSS. of this
decade of Livy are derived from the Codex Puteanus (a Paris MS.
once the property of Claude du Puy), or from one precisely like it.
Madvig's reasons apply to your MS. and seem decisive. The
Codex Puteanus is an uncial MS. of the 8th century, and has no
space between the words. Your MS. frequently has the right
letters, but divided wrongly into words........

The pictures are fairly good, but later in style than I should
have expected at this date. Many have been cut out, and there
are blank spaces for a good many. Those that remain are :
1. f. 46. (verso of first remaining leaf)
A group of five Roman soldiers.
2. f. 6 a. Red flourished ground. Three men on L., one about to take a bowl
offered by one on R. Catiline making his accomplices drink blood and wine.
3. f. 76. Group of six men, very bad. The Senate.
4. f. IIb. Cato addressing a crowd on R.
5. f. 186. Warriors set fire to an arched portico. (Pompey burning the Temple
of Jerusalem.)
6. f. 216. A battle scene. (Caesar's first victory over the 'Ulchosi' or Turigones.)
7. f. 236. A similar battle.
8. f. 246. Two ambassadors in long robes and trains before Caesar.
9. f. 28 b. A bridge over a river, with a gate on it guarded by two horsemen.
Two men fight on the bank. The enemy are Belgae.
10. f. 30 b. Two Romans repulsing three others (Gauls).
II. f. 41. A battle before a towered city of brick.
12. f. 42 b. By a worse artist. Caesar riding with 3 companions by a river sees a
female figure in the air—the genius of Rome (Lucan lib. I.).
13. f. 456. Lucan lib. II. Rome lamenting, represented as a large woman stand-
ing in a towered city. Badly done.
This is the last picture. Another has been cut out on f. 70, and
the arms described above remain on f. 74. In the story of Thebes

The original hand has prepared the chronology down to 1619, but
I think has only made historical entries as far as Henry VI. A
nearly contemporary hand has continued with Edward IV., and a
xvith cent. hand has carried it on to the accession of Elizabeth.
There are rude drawings in this volume, viz.
f. ib. I. God standing by a globe in which are seen angels above,
and devils falling below.
2. God by the globe divided into land and water.
3. God standing by trees and water.
4. God measuring with compasses: globe with sun, moon and stars.
5. Creation of birds and fishes.
6. In four compartments. Creation of beasts: of Adam:
of Eve. Expulsion.

Of this MS. Bishop Stubbs (Gervase of Canterbury, Rolls ed"
II. p. x) speaks at length. It is only in a very limited sense the
work of Gervase. Extracts from his Gesta are incorporated in it,
and only the basis of the earlier portion of the history is Gervase.
The Trinity MS. "was seen and used by Leland, who attributed it
all to Gervase, on the strength of the occurrence of his name in the
prologue. In his Collectanea (i. 257 sqq.) he gives under the name
of Gervase, copious extracts which are really the work of John of
Loudon or of some intermediate writer.... The Trinity MS.
coincides most exactly with the Corpus MS. (no. 438) down to
T. C. II.

the death of Harold ; from that point the two MSS. are altogether
different. There can be no doubt that the Corpus MS. represents
the genuine work, the Trinity MS. an early fragment only.”

The name of Robert de Populton which occurs on f. I (see
below) gives a faint clue to the origin of the MS.: for the
Poppletons (Upper and Nether) are just outside York. The book
may have come from St Mary's Abbey, York. Frater Rob. de
Populton appears as the giver of a Bible to Hulne Abbey near
Alnwick, in the priorate of Th. de Populton. Robert need not
have been a munk of Hulne, but a friend or relative of Thomas.
See Catt. Vett. Dunelm. p. 132. The same name occurs, as that of
the scribe, in the Paris. MS. 4126 (Colbert. 3120) formerly Lord
Burghley's. So Dr Liebermann (and Hardy II. 170). This MS.
contains several tracts relating to Scotland. In one colophon are
the words: Ora pro Popiltoun qui me compilauit Eboraci. See

It was collated by Professors Mayor and Lumby for their
edition of Books III. and iv. of the History, and is described by
them as CS on p. 414.

numbered in Cent. xvi.
Contents :
1. Inc. capitula · hec continentur in libro primo ecclesiastice -
historie gentis anglorum (in red capitals). . . . f. ii (4)
These capitula, like others later on in the book, are in a hand
of cent. xii (early).
On f. iii b, iva (56, 6) a Parkerian hand has added a list of
facts not mentioned in the capitula of the five books.
2. In nomine domini. Incipit prologus beati Bedan pr(esbyteri)
In red rustic capitals.
Gloriosissimo regi Ceoluulfo
--mandare studuimus.
The paragraph (Praeterea-inueniam), which should end the
preface, is in this MS., as in very many others, placed at the
end of Lib. V. See Mayor and Lumby, 1. c.
Explicit prologus.
Incipit liber · primus · Historiae anglorum • aecclesiasticae . 86
Britannia oceani insula.
At the end of Lib. I. a new leaf is inserted (of cent. xii) on
which the capitula of Lib. II. and the last five lines of
Lib. I. are written. This is f. 46.
The last five lines of Lib. I. as written by the original scribe
are erased at the top of f. 47 and a new heading to Lib. II.
written in:
Inc. liber secundus ecclesiastice hystorię gentis anglorum 47
The hand gets larger in the course of this book, and then gives
way to a smaller hand with a very decided slope.
The rubric at the end of Lib. II. and the leaf (82) with the
capitula of Lib. III. and the heading and initial of Lib. III.
are of cent. xii.
The sloping minuscule continues to f. 107 a. In the fourth
line it gives way to a round upright hand, which gets very
large on some leaves, e.g. 112.
The capitula to Lib. IV. have not had to be inserted (1306).
They are in this same round hand. The rubrics in red
rustic capitals.
The same hand continues through Lib. IV., getting very large

f. 237 is a slip inserted by the original scribe (?) to repair an
omission. The fluctuations of hands in the quire (29) are
very odd.
ff. 248 and following are undoubtedly by the scribe of the
capitula to Libb. I., II.
Lib. V. ends with the list of Bede's works and the last para-
graph of the Preface (see above).

The verso (covered with scribbles) is stuck to a fly-leaf.
I have little doubt, from the paragraph about Lindisfarne, and
the notes for St Oswald's lessons, that the book was in a northern
monastery: but I cannot definitely trace it either to Durham or to
any other house.

Column 1 contains the Hebrew well written (probably by a Jew)
with points and accents, and an interlinear literal (Latin) render-
ing for each word.
Col. 2. Jerome's Psalterium Hebraicum.
Col. 3. The Gallican Psalter.
The catchwords are in Hebrew, which rather implies that the
Hebrew was written first (as in the case of the fly-leaves).
The book is an important monument of the mediaeval study of
Hebrew in England. It may very probably have belonged to a
Franciscan house. Other MSS. exist, containing further portions
of the Old Testament in Hebrew with interlinear Latin transla-
tion, and, in several cases, the Latin Vulgate, viz. at Corpus
Christi College, Oxford, no. v (the Pentateuch), no. vi (Jos. Jud.
Sam. Eccl. Esther), no. ix (Sam. Chron.), no. x (Psalter, with the
Gallican and Jerome's 'Hebrew'), no. xi (Psalms, Prov.); at St
John's College, Oxford, no. cxliii (Jos. Jud. Cant. Eccl.). All
these MSS. are of cent. xiii or xiv, and resemble ours in
execution. They may owe their existence either to the influence
of Roger Bacon, or to that of Grosseteste. In favour of this
latter supposition is the fact that Henry of Costessey in his
Commentary on the Psalms (MS. Christ's College F. 1. 17)
frequently quotes the “superscriptio in psalterio domini Lin.
colniensis ubi tria vel quatuor psalteria coniunctim continentur."
By the “superscriptio" it is evident that he means an interlinear
Latin gloss on the Hebrew, such as is contained in this MS.
See on these MSS. the tract of M. Samuel Berger: Quam notitiam
linguae Hebraicae habuerint Christiani medii aevi temporibus in
Gallia. (Paris, Hachette, 1893, pp. 49-53.) All the extant
MSS. of this mediaeval version from the Hebrew are of English
origin and in English libraries.

The provenance of the book can best be settled by the Litany,
and the style of ornamentation. In the xiiith cent. Litany we
have Martyrs : Gereon, Quintin, George, Blasius; Confessors :
Eligius, Germanus, Vedastus, Amandus, Bavo, Macharius, Wandre-
gisil, Gudwalus, Ansbertus; Virgins : Genouefa, Amelberga.
As to the ornament; each page has a frame of three sides
enclosing the initials of the verses. The right side is open, and
the top and bottom bars of the frame end uniformly in grotesque
heads, alternately vermilion and green. The initials themselves
are in burnished gold. All the historiated initials have been
removed. They included the seven Nocturnes and the 5 ist and
Toist Psalms.
Both the Litany and the external aspect of the book point to
Flanders as the region where it was produced. And there is a
curious confirmation of this. Ps. lxxix. (Qui regis Israel) ended
almost at the bottom of a page (f. 716). The scribe wanted a
fresh page to begin Ps. lxxx. upon, because it began a division of
the Psalter and had to have a large pictured initial: so in order to
fill up space at the bottom of f. 716 he writes the last verse of
Psalm lxxix, thus
TA
ostende faciem tuam et salui et salui et salui erimus erimus erimus si di en zot zi di
een ries.
5-7]
277
TRINITY COLLEGE LIBRARY.
The xvth cent. Litany at the end has some interest. In it we
have Martyrs: Albane ii, Amphibale cum sociis, Oswyne ii, and
the ordinary English martyrs. Among Confessors I need only
note that 'macuthe' is added in the margin and Benedict has a
double invocation.
The provenance is indicated by the Martyrs' names. It must
be either St Albans, which is most probable, or else Tynemouth
(where St Oswin lay) which was a cell to St Albans.

he calls John) he says: “Extant archetypi ipsi in Fontanensi

Another of Chaundler's pictured MSS. is at New College Oxford
(no. 288). There are also works of his in MS. Titus A. xxiv. He

A series of full-page pictures of most delicate stippled work.
Green, white, and blue, and occasionally a pale red, are the
colours employed. Each is in a dull red frame. The execution is
of the highest order. Each has an inscription below it. The
pictures belong to the first of the tracts contained in the volume.
1. Actus Primus. The Fall of the Angels. In C. on a throne under an arrased
canopy, with curtains knotted up into round balls, sits the Father, an aged figure, in cope
and imperial crown. On L. stand the obedient Angels (13 in number), some six-winged,
some two-winged, adoring.
On R. the rebel angels fall, changing as they go into demons: the foremost plunges
into the earth.
On L. in front lies Man, nude, looking up.
2. In C. Man throned in ermined robe and diadem. God on L. puts sceptre and
orb into his hands. On R. in front is Sensualitas, a lady holding an apple. On L.
Ratio, a crowned lady holding a mirror, and attended by two angels.
3. Man throned, he takes the apple from Sensuality and breaks his sceptre
(Original Righteousness) over the face of Reason, who holds the mirror up to him. The
angels still attend her. The orb is dropped on to the step of the throne.
4. Man, whose robe has fallen off, sits nude on a settle. Sensuality on R. seated by
him. He holds the mirror. Reason, wounded and alone, turns her back on him.
5. Man nude fleeing through a wilderness : again on R. he is seen hiding behind a
bare thorn bush.
6. Actus secundus. God stands in a landscape. On L. Reason kneels and points to
her wounds. On R. Man summoned by God, creeps from behind the tree.
7. God gives to Man, clad in a skin robe, a wooden spade shod with iron and a
scourge.
8. Actus tercius. In a room God throned: four steps lead up to the canopied
throne: before them is a wooden bar, at which stand Reason and her advocates, Truth
and Justice, then Man with spade and scourge, and his advocates, Mercy and Peace.
9. God descends from his throne and embraces Man. Mercy and Peace, Truth and
Justice, also embrace.
10. In a landscape God in imperial crown, but clad in a skin tunic like that of
man, stands by Man and introduces him to four men on L. the Four Virtues. A
Warrior in plate armour (Fortitude), a man with balance (Justice), one in a hat
(Prudence) and one holding a small scroll (Temperance).
II. Actus quartus. In a vestibule-Man's house-Man (aged) is sitting holding his
scourge and spade. About him stand the Four Virtues, the mailed man being at the
door on R. A toothless old man (Fear of Death) kneels and holds out a letter to Man.
12. The same scene. Charity, a kneeling angel, is introduced to man by Prudence:
and Fortitude pushes Fear of Death out of the door.

13. A similar scene. Man seated in the Centre. The Four Virtues behind him. In
front on L. Death, a nude bony corpse, pierces his side with a lance. On R. Charity
stands holding a crown.
14. A similar scene. Man, young once more, is throned. Fortitude crowns him,
Prudence gives him the orb, Justice the sceptre, and Temperance puts the robe about his
shoulders.
A blank page follows.
On the verso:
15. In a room with arrased or painted walls and tiled pavement sits Bp Bekynton in
a chair with arrased canopy. By him is a crozier-bearer who holds a portifory in his
hand by the circuit edge of the binding. Before the Bp kneels Chaundler in a gown and
hood, giving him a book with clasps and a 'bag-binding.' The Bp wears a tippet or
cappa, and his mitre is above his head, seemingly not touching it.
This picture has often been reproduced : last in Williams's
Somersetshire Libraries.

In the beginning is a letter from C. H. Cooper to the Revd
John Glover, Cambridge 5 Oct. 1860.
"It may interest you to know that I have succeeded in tracing
some few particulars respecting George Willmer. He was in the
high commission a justice of the peace for Middlesex, and dying
1626 was buried at Westham in Essex.”
Contents :
Attached to the fourth fly-leaf is a rather smaller leaf in a
hand of. cent. xiii: evidently belonging to the Chronicle at
the end of the volume.

Hardy, Materials, III. p. 251, says of this Chronicle:
This contains a brief abridgment of Geoffrey of Monmouth to Cassibelaunus. The
account of the Heptarchy with the succession of Kings to the year 1121 is taken from
William of Malmesbury. The portion relating to the Dukes of Normandy is compiled
from Henry of Huntingdon, Ailred of Rievaulx, and Ralph Niger. From 1121 to 1135
it is from Henry of Huntingdon: from 1135 to 1198 is from Ralph de Diceto and Ralph
Niger and his continuator: from 1198 to 1200 is from Roger Hoveden; from 1200 to
1297 is taken from the same source as that followed by Trivet. The substance of the
remainder, or rather, the titles of chapters to the capture of the Earl of Athol, is nearly
as in Langtoft.

Text and comment continue in alternate columns, where they are
of equal length: where the comment is more voluminous, it
spreads into long lines extending across the page. f. 20 a is
wholly occupied with writing, and also f. 25. On the recto of this
are text and comment in two columns ; on the verso, comment
only, in long single lines. The subject, a disquisition on the
precious stones of the New Jerusalem. f. 276 is also wholly
writing. The text and comment end on this page : the latter,
thus :
E la grace nostre seiguur ihesu crist seit od nus tus e nus doint
les armes des uertues par les queues nus garniz od lu dustre
e baneur seums defenduz des enemis foreins e de ceus de
deins. ke nus deseruuns estre parceneres de la uie pardur-
able. ki uit e regne od le pere e od le seint espirit en secle
de secles. Amen.
The comment is a French version of the Exposition of Berengaudus
(cent. viii, ix) on the Apocalypse. This was sometimes attri-
buted to St Ambrose and is printed among his works (Migne,
P. L. XVII. 842). The comment on the Epistles to the Seven
Churches is considerably shortened in our MS., and probably
that is the case in other parts of the book.
This is unquestionably one of the very finest specimens of a pictured
Apocalypse which exists : and there are a great many of them.
Not much has been written about it, but it is referred to by
Waagen (Art Treasures in Great Britain) and by M. Samuel
Berger, La Bible Française.
It is unnecessary to spend words upon praising the art of the
book. The place where it was written was either North France or
England; and the language, especially the frequent occurrence of
ei for oi, inclines me to suppose that that at least is of English
character?. I do not know whether the presence of the royal arms
on the binding is a certain indication that it was ever in possession
of the Kings of England : but it is certain that it must have been
written for either a person or an institution of the highest rank.
The Paris Apocalypse (Bibl. Nat. Fr. 403) comes nearest to our
MS. of any. It is even said to be slightly better in execution.
It, too, is of English or Anglo-Norman origin. A complete fac-
simile in photography is in process of publication.
1 I am a little inclined to suggest St Alban's Abbey as the .place where this book was
written. It differs from the Canterbury type as seen in the Lambeth Apocalypse.

TRINITY COLLEGE LIBRARY.
The Bodleian MS. of the Apocalypse, published for the Rox-
burghe Club in 1876, under the auspices of the Rev. H. O. Coxe,
though widely different in aspect from this MS., is not very far
distant from it in date. It is slightly later, and its pictures are
rather markedly similar in composition to these. It will therefore
be occasionally referred to in the course of my description.
Three artists (perhaps four) have been employed, I believe,
upon the pictures. One is responsible for the first sixteen leaves,
and for the pictures of St John's life at the end, except the last leaf.
His peculiarity is that he marks the colour in the faces of his
figures. Their cheeks are graced with patches of pink. The
second artist-quite the equal of the first in ability-leaves his faces
pale. His work extends from f. 17 to f. 27 inclusive, with the
possible exception of the remarkable picture of the New Jerusalem
on f. 256. This, which affords the finest specimen of gold work
in the book, I rather incline to attribute to a third artist. The
figures seem to me to differ from the work of the other two. The
last pictured leaf, f. 31, is unfinished. The inscriptions have not
been added. In style it resembles the work of the second painter :
but it is not so carefully drawn, and if it be his, he did this
particular piece of work in a hurry. If not, it belongs to a fourth
and inferior artist.
The pictures are distinguished by an extremely fine dry touch:
and the scale of colour gives them an appearance of fatness, while
they are at the same time incomparably rich.
The backgrounds are alternately blue and brown, studded with
white patterns. At first they are wholly of one or other colour:
later on, there is a central panel of the one and a broad border of
the other.
The frames are uniformly plain bands of burnished gold.
The opening and closing pictures illustrate with unusual
copiousness the Life of St John the Evangelist. There are eight
scenes at the beginning and 22 at the end. The source employed
by the designer is a little difficult to determine. The pictures
follow very closely the order of the events given in the Legenda
Aurea: but there are details (especially the picture of the raising
of three dead men in no. 77) which point rather to the Passio
Fohannis of the Pseudo-Melito (Fabr. Cod. Apocr. N. T. II. 604).

MSS. of it there is information in Leo Allatius, de Georgiis p. 366.
The Epitome of the Logic, and the tract περί ατόμων γραμμών, have
been printed, the former at Paris in 1548, etc., the latter often with
Aristotle's works. A Latin version of the whole (?) by Phil.

Paper, 111 x 81, ff. 4+669, 12 lines to a page, well written.
Cent. xv, xvi.
Given by Dr Richard Bentley, in 1757.
The edges of the leaves have circles painted on them in red, in
one of which is the word ΟΜΗΡΟΣ.
In the volume is a note by Walter Leaf, M.A. (formerly Fellow),
dated 25 May 1884, to the effect that the MS. is known as the
Codex Mori, having belonged to John More [Moore), Bishop of
Ely.
«It was collated (very carelessly) by Barnes, whose readings
have been followed by Heyne and La Roche. It is one of the
best of the second class of MSS. of the Iliad, but appears to be
more carelessly written in the later books. See La Roche,
Homerische Textkritik, Leipzig 1866, p. 466, no. 62."

There is no commemoration of St Thomas of Canterbury.
There are no additions of a later time to the Kalendar, though in
one or two places the original scribe has added something après
coup. The word papa has been erased.
The extremely slight notice taken of St Augustine (of Canter-
bury) is accounted for by the rivalry subsisting between the two
monasteries. Hardly any of the early Archbishops are entered,
probably because they were buried at St Augustine's.
On f. 1 a in three columns are the following paragraphs intro-
ductory to the Psalter. Each has a plain gold initial.

This version, which constitutes the earliest extant French Psalter, has been edited

2. Rom. i.e. Jerome's ‘Roman' version, being the Gallican version corrected from
the Hebrew by Jerome at Rome, and used in the Roman Churches.
With an interlinear version in Anglo-Saxon. Edited for the Early English Text
Society by F. Harsley, 1889. The text only has appeared. The Introduction is
promised.
These two columns are each half the breadth of the third, and have twice as many
lines of text.
3. Gall. The 'Gallican' psalter ordinarily used in the Western Church.

The interlinear versions and glosses are so far as I can judge
in the same hand as the text. It is a fine smooth round hand,
not like the 'prickly' hand characteristic of Christ Church, which
may be seen in many MSS. in this collection. The large majority
of the marginal notes are in this same round hand: but occa-
sionally there are additions by other scribes. One, who writes a
distinctly sloping hand, has added 3 lines on f. 4 a, col. 2. An-
other, whose work is very copious, approaches the 'prickly' style
of writing, especially near the latter end of the book: see e.g. the
marginal notes on Ps. 150.
Each Psalm is followed by a Collect. That on Ps. I begins :
Domine apud quem est salus plenitudo iustorum et perfectio beatitudinis incorrupte.
The last is that following Ps. 150 (for the Cantica have none).
Omnipotens et misericors cleus clementiam tuam suppliciter deprecor ut me famulum
tuum EADWINUM tibi fideliter seruire concedas . et perseuerentiam bonam et felicem
consummationem michi largiri digneris. et hoc psalterium quia (? quod) in conspectu tuo
cantaui ad salutem et ad remedium animę meę proficiat sempiternum. Amen.
This, however, is preceded by another referring specially to the
Psalm, and beginning
Armon(i)e nostre suauissimum melos qui nostri pectoris modulamina.
The arrangement of the versions and glosses in the Cantica
differs from that in the Psalter proper. At first we still have three
columns, viz.
1. French version written in text hand (replacing the Hebraicum which only exists
for the Psalter).
2. Romanum with Anglo-Saxon version.
3. Gallicanum with Latin gloss.
This applies to the Old Testament Cantica, viz. Canticum
Isaiae, Ezechiae, Annae, Moysis (I), Abbacuc, Moysis (2).
After this we have two main columns of text on a page, of
equal breadth, giving the Gallicanum only, and the two versions
Anglo-Saxon and French between the lines, Anglo-Saxon being
uppermost.
This applies to: Benedicite, Te Deum, Benedictus, Magnificat,
Nunc Dimittis, Gloria in Excelsis, Pater noster, Credo, Quicunque
vult, Pusillus eram.
There are marginal notes on all except Benedicite, Te Deum,

This I think is a method of prognostication. The seer adds up
the letters of the client's name, giving them the values assigned
above. Then in a case of sickness or quarrel he divides by 9, and
then has recourse to the table above.
The decoration and illustration of this MS. are, as is well known,
most magnificent and copious. It is not my purpose to describe
the pictures in full here: possibly I may be able to do that in a
separate publication. At present I will merely indicate the system
of decoration.
(1) Initials. Each of the Psalms has a decorative initial in
each of the three Versions: those attached to the Gallicanuin are
uniformly larger and more important than the others. I do not
think that even the 51st and loist Psalms are distinguished by
specially large initials.
(2) Pictures. Each Psalm or Canticle is illustrated by an
oblong picture extending across the page. The backgrounds of
the outlines washed with colour. The principal colours are blue,
green, vermilion, and brown. Gold is not employed in the
pictures. Each picture illustrates the text of the Psalm, literally:
in very few cases is there any reference to New Testament events
thought to be predicted or typified. One of the exceptions is
Ps. xxi (xxii) where there is a picture of the Cross.
The whole set of pictures is copied either directly from the
Utrecht Psalter (formerly in the Cottonian Library and before
that at Canterbury) or, less probably, from a MS. similar thereto.
Other Psalters exist which contain essentially the same illus-
trations. One is Harley 603 (cent. x), another in the Bibliothèque
Nationale, Suppl. Lat. 1194 (cent. xiii).
The Utrecht Psalter is now believed to have been written in
France (near Rheims) in cent. ix.
TRINITY COLLEGE LIBRARY.

Psalter from their prototypes in the Utrecht Psalter, and all those
of importance occur in the first seven Psalms.
Ps. i. In C. the text of the Psalm is written over the ground in various places. The
Inferno in R. lower corner much exaggerated.
ii. Portions of the text of the Psalm written on the ground. The colouring and
drawing of this picture seem to me different from the others.
iii. Title written in red across the top. Added on R. is Absalom hanging to a tree,
and the mule walking away.
iv. A devil seated on a tower, hardly visible in U.
v. A whole tier of figures added above, viz. on L. two buildings in which sit
(a) a woman (Hagar) with a child, (o) a woman (Sarah) weeping. A mandorla with
Christ seated, between two seraphs and two angels. Building with woman and child
facing R. Man (Abraham) stands full-face. On R. Hagar with barrel on back leads
away Ishmael.
vi. Tier of figures added, divided into two compartments.
L. Man with sack on shoulders. Man standing over sack on ground. Two others,
dejected (Joseph's brethren).
R. The Ascension. The Apostles seated below in two groups of six.
Christ above in mandorla held by two angels in clouds.
vii. Tier of scenes added. L. two cities : in each a king seated surrounded by
councillors. Behind him a standing figure, in the second case Christ.
C. King throned, another speaks to him. Above, the Son speaks to the Father,
throned.
R. King, throned, looks up. On R. in air, Christ in mandorla supported by angels.
On L. seven draped people. On R. six nude ones.
Below, a troop of armed men.
viii. As in the Utrecht Psalter.
ix.
x.
xi. In circuitu impii ambulant is written on the ring round which the ungodly are
moving.
All the rest of the pictures, including those for the Canticles
and for Ps. cli., correspond very accurately with those in the
Utrecht Psalter. The artist, working as a copyist, and far less
light in touch than his model, has emphasized and coarsened and
stiffened the designs a good deal : but, with the exception of the
additions already noted, has made none of his own. The presence
and character of those additions seem to indicate that he set out
with the idea of supplementing and interpreting the earlier pictures;

This is now preceded by the great plan of Christ Church,
Canterbury (first published in the Vetusta Monumenta, 1747),
which has been often discussed: best by Professor R. Willis in
1867, who published an uncoloured drawing of it from a tracing.
The double leaf, of which the second page is stuck to the cover,
has a part of a plan of Christ Church or of some of its outer build-
ings, designed to shew the water and drain systems which are
coloured in green and red. I am not certain whether the leaf now
stuck to the cover has the remainder of this plan on it: but what
remains is more roughly done than the other plan, and may
perhaps have been used as waste by the original binder of the
book.

Paper: a folio book measuring 181 x 12.
It contains a series of 90 drawings in red chalk and in ink of
antique sculptures, of frescoes of Michel Angelo, paintings of
Raphael, and one or two views of ancient buildings, all at Rome.
The volume has been completely described by Professor Adolf
Michaelis in the Jahrbuch des Kaiserlich-Deutschen Archäologischen
Instituts, 1892, Band VII. Heft.2, pp. 92-100, where a complete
list of the drawings is given.
Professor Michaelis ascribes them to a Flemish artist working
at Rome in or about the year 1583. They were apparently done
for an English amateur, for the descriptive legends on them are
written in English of a very Flemish complexion.

Vellum, 211 X 143, ff. 308, 46 lines to a page: in the same
hand as the last.
It begins with a Preface addressed to Paul II. Then follows a
list of contents.
This volume contains Pars II. Tractatus 111.–VI. and Pars III.
Tract. I.-XIV., followed by an Appendix of Epistles, of which the
last is the spurious letter of Cyril to Augustine on the miracles of
St Jerome.
The Text begins on f. 9.
This page has a very fine border without background, framed
in plain gold. It consists of conventional flowers and has a few
figures of men interspersed.
The initial has a picture on dead gold ground, of St Jerome as
cardinal seated in a high-backed chair, lion at his feet, book on
desk before him. A black monk kneels on R. with scroll: Sancte
Jeronime ora pro me.
The general effect of this work, which is done in a dry Dutch
style, is extremely good.

The following notice of their origin is inserted :
The following Letters, etc. were collected from amongst the loose Papers bequeathed
by the late Dr Robt Smith to Edward Howkins: whom the Dr in his last will desired
" to burn all the loose Papers & Paper-Books of his own Handwriting" that were found
in the old gallery at the Lodge, as being imperfect.
Some few Letters from Mr Professor Cotes to Sir Isaac Newton are wanted to
complete the Correspondence between them ; which probably were not return'd to
Dr Smith from Mr Conduitt, who formerly borrow'd them.
At the end of the volume are papers relating to the portrait
of Newton purchased by the College in 1850.

A folio volume, containing a collection of letters addressed to

The autograph manuscript of Lord Tennyson's In Memoriam,
in a volume measuring 121 by 3 inches, is preserved in a glass case
near class R.
The notice hung above it gives particulars of its acquisition in
the following terms:
“The manuscript volume containing the rough draft or “first
jottings” of In Memoriam was presented by the Hon. Catherine
Lady Simeon and Hallam second Lord Tennyson to the Rev.
Henry Montagu Butler, D.D., Master of Trinity College, Cam-
bridge, and to his successors in the mastership, to be kept in
perpetuity in the Library of Trinity College, on condition that, in
accordance with the express wish of the late Poet Laureate, no
copy of it, or of any part of it, should ever be taken, and that
nothing in it which has not been published should ever be
published.
The MS. was received 27 January 1898."
In the same case is shown a smaller volume containing the
autograph of the poems published by Alfred Tennyson and his
brother Charles under the title of Poems by Two Brothers (1827).
This volume was purchased by members of the College in 1894
and presented to the College.
The manuscript contains about go leaves of poems and several
letters. The volume of 1827 was republished in 1893 by Messrs
Macmillan & Co. together with four poems from the manuscript,
which had not appeared in 1827. There remain seven poems in
the manuscript which have never been printed.

NOTE II.
The manuscript R. 15. 14 deserves to be carefully examined by
experts. Dr Schenkl (Bibl. Patr. Latt. Britannica II. 2. 46) gives
a certain number of references to Lachmann's text of the Roman
Agrimensores, which I'repeat and supplement here:
MS. LACHMANN.
ff. 1-10 = pp. 393-406
ff. 20–32 = pp. 377-388
f. 33 = p. 409
f. 36 = p. 412
f. 44 = p. 354
f. 446 = p. 295
f. 61b = p. 367 (371)
f. 64 = p. 368
f. 65 = p. 167
f. 686 = p. 247
f. 690 = p. 1 (lext)
f. 71 = p. 1 (comment.)
f. 83 = p. 385
f. 88 = p. 182
f. 94 = p. 380
f. 102 Anthol. Lat. Riese 486 ·
f. 108 = p. 373
On this MS. and R. 15. 32 compare Wiener Studien VII. 341.
