preface. 
 
 nPHE first reference to the foundation of the City Public Library 
 at Bristol appears in the minutes of the Council as follows : — 
 
 " Convocatio Domus Consilii yj die Decembris, 1613. It is this daye 
 agreed that if Mr, Roberte Redwoode, will give his Lodge adjoyninge 
 to the Towne Wall neere the Marsh of Bristol, to the Mayor and 
 Commonalty to be converted to a Librayre, or place to put bookes 
 for the furtherance of Leaminge, then the same shal be thankefuUy 
 accepted, and that then there shal be a dore made through the wall 
 there on such sorte as shal be thought conveniente by the Surveyors 
 of the landes of the Cytie, and Mr. John Hopkins, Aldn. Mr. Robert 
 Aldworth, late Mayor, and Hierome Ham, Towne Gierke, to passe 
 from thence into the Marsh then, and that such bookes as shal be 
 given to the Cytie by the reverende father in God the Lord Archbishop 
 of Yorke, or any other well disposed pson for the fumishinge of a 
 Librayre, shal be thankefuUy accepted and preserved in the place 
 aforesayed." 
 
 The city Annals for the year 1614 record also the fact that 
 "this year was erected and builded the Library in the Marsh, 
 Doctor Toby Mathews and Robert Redwood ' was ' the founders 
 thereof and Richard Williams, Vicar of St. Leonard's was the first 
 master or keeper thereof." The precise extent of the share that 
 Archbishop Mathew then had in the foundation of the library is 
 
 vii. 
 
not recorded, and the time has long passed when it would be 
 possible to verify the history of every volume in the collection, or 
 the actual date of its accession. It is however, safe to conclude, 
 that the Books and MSS. now catalogued, were mostly given 
 by Dr. Tobias Mathew, Archbishop of York, between 1613 and 
 1628, with the expressed condition that they were " for the benefit 
 of his native city, by the dissemination of knowledge, and for 
 the purpose of founding a library of sound divinity, and other 
 learning, for the use of the Aldermen and Shop-keepers." * All 
 books in the library printed up to the year 1628 are therefore 
 included. 
 
 The catalogue has been delayed for some months, as Dr. 
 Cuthbert Atchley, who most kindly undertook the description of the 
 MSS., was unable to give much time consecutively to that section of 
 
 * Tobias Mathew was descended from the ancient family of the Malhew's in Wales, and was bom 
 on Bristol Bridge in 1546, which at that period was covered with shops and dwelling-houses. He 
 received his early educal ion at Wells, and matriculated at Oxford as a probationer of University College 
 in 1559. He graduated B.A. in 1563, and proceeded M.A. in 1566, in which year he was ordained. 
 When Queen Elizabeth visited the university in the same year, he took part in a " disputation in 
 philosophy" before her in St. Mary's Church, and on her departure he bade her farewell in an eloquent 
 oration. At this time "he was much respected for his great learning, eloquence, sweet conversation, 
 friendly disposition, and the sharpness of his wit." In 1569 he was elected public orator of the 
 university, and later appointed a Canon of Christ Church. In 1572 he was appointed Archdeacon 
 of Bath, and subsequently Prebendary of Teynton Regis in the Cathedral of Salisbury, and " being 
 much famed for his admirable way of preaching, he was made one of the Queen's Chaplains in ordinary." 
 About the year 1576 he was appointed Dean of Christ Church, having previously taken the degrees of 
 B.D. and D.D. In 1583 he was installed as Dean of Durham, when he resigned the Deanery of Christ 
 Church. While Dean of Durham Dr. Mathew " acted as a political agent of the government in the 
 north, and was a vigorous pursuer of recusants " ; and through him the Queen's advisers frequently received 
 information on the condition of Scotland. He was none the less active as an orator, and his services 
 as preacher were eagerly sought all over the county palatine. "Yet for all his pains in preaching he 
 neglected not his proper episcopal acts of visitation, confirmation, and ordination, he confirmed sometimes 
 five hundred, sometimes a thousand at a time; yea, so many, that he hath been forced to betake

the work. The probable dates and styles of ornamentation of the 
 MSS. have been determined by the authorities of the MS. depart- 
 ment of the British Museum, from photographs sent to them. In 
 describing the Printed Books I have endeavoured to give the titles, 
 with the contractions of the early printers as exactly as possible. 
 As a basis of the work, the catalogue of the British Museum has 
 been followed,* and every authority available has been consulted. 
 The references to Hain (to which important work I was unable to 
 obtain access) were kindly inserted by Mr. Gordon Duff, to whom 
 my grateful thanks are due for reading the proof sheets of the 
 incunabula, and aiding me with many valuable suggestions. In the 
 arrangement of the entries a chronological order has been followed 
 throughout, whilst the principle of giving too much, rather than 
 too little description, has been observed both in regard to the 
 MSS. and the Printed Books. This will account for much that to 
 the specialist might be deemed superfluous. 
 
 himself to his bed for refreshment." In 1595 he was promoted to the Bishopric of Durham. His services 
 were recognised by James I. no less than by his predecessor ; he took a prominent part in the Hampton 
 Court Conference, and preached at the close before the King, who greatly admired his sermons. In 
 1606 he was appointed Archbishop of York on the death of Dr. Matthew Hutton, whom he had 
 succeeded also at Durham. He died in 1628, and was buried in York Minster, where his tomb stands 
 on the south side of the presbytery. 
 
 Though renowned in his day as a preacher and divine, Archbishop Malhew was a statesman 
 quite as much as a prelate. The advisers of Elizabeth and James felt that they could rely upon him 
 to watch and guard the northern shires. None the less was he a diligent bishop and pious man. " He 
 had an admirable talent for preaching, which he never suffered to lie idle, but tised to go from one 
 town to another to preach to crowded audiences. He kept an exact account of the sermons which he 
 preached after he was preferred; by which it appears that he preached when Dean of Durham, 721 ; 
 when bishop of that diocese, 550; when Archbishop of York, 721; in all 1992." 
 
 • Where I have been unable to find a work mentioned in the Britbh Museum Catalogue, aa 
 asterisk is prefixed to the entry. 
 
 ix. 
 
It is necessary to point out that many of the works now catalogued, 
 were previously mentioned in a list of " Books in the City Library," 
 which formed part of the appendix of Mr. Tovey's well-known work, the 
 "History of the Bristol City Library: its Founders and Benefactors," 
 published in 1853. Subsequent cataloguers of the library, appear 
 to have copied the entries from this informal list, without verification 
 of the books themselves ; with the result, that very many works have 
 been imperfectly recorded, or omitted altogether. 
 
 As examples the following were formerly supposed to be wanting 
 the first volume in every instance : — the works of Charlier de Gerson 
 {Strasburg, 1494) ; the Latin Bible of Hugo de Sando Chara (Basle, 
 1503); Conciliorum Omnium (Cologne, 1567); and the works of 
 5. Ckrysostom (Basle, 1530), the first volume being mentioned 
 separately as a distinct work. Similar errors were in many 
 instances perpetuated in regard to the second volume of works, 
 from the fact, apparently, of its having been bound up with the 
 first volume. For example: — La Mer des Histoires (Lyons, 1506); 
 works by Otto I. (Strasburg, 15 15); Bartolus de Saxo/errato (Lyons, 
 1527) ; S. Gregory (Paris, 1542) ; Paolo Giovio (Paris, 1553-4), 
 amongst others. A work by Duns Scotus* (Venice, 1 506), in five volumes 
 (complete), was imperfectly described as if wanting the tkird and 
 fi/t/i volumes; and the fifth volume of a work by Nicolaus de 
 ^Tudeschis (Basle, 1488), bound up with the fourth volume, was thought 
 
 • In this work occur some interesting MS. notes, as follows : — In Vols I. and II., " Liber Johannis 
 Tutyng monachi Duresmie " ; and on the fly-leaf of Vol II., " Amen, quod Johaimis Tutyng." In Vol 
 rv., " Liber Johannis tutyng canonici ecclesie cathedralis dunelmensis." 
 
to be wanting. Many complete works have also been found bound 
 up with others of the same size, the first work only being noticed. 
 As examples : — ^the Theologia Naturalis of Raymonde Sebunde (Stras- 
 burg, 1496) and Fasciculus Temporum, 1484, were both discovered 
 with the Promptorium Parvulorum (Pynson, 1499). Vallensis Elegantice 
 de Lingua Latina (Venice, 1496), was bound up with a work of 
 Ciaro ; and the De Orbe Novo Decades by Peter Martyr (Alcala, 
 15 16), had been lost sight of amongst three earlier works in the 
 same binding. The following works were not previously recorded, 
 some being found in the basement of the Central Library, King Street, 
 and in the lumber rooms of the Hotwells and the North District 
 Libraries : — a medical work by yoannes Mestu. fDe Medicinis Uni- 
 versalibicsj, printed at Venice in 1479 ; S. Augustine^s De Civitate Dei, 
 printed at Beisle in 1479 ; works by Sallust (Venice, i486) ; ^gidius 
 (Venice, 1500); Polybius (Paris, 15 12); Liutprandus (Paris, 15 14); 
 Ajinius (Paris, 15 15); Pope Boniface VIII. (Paris, 1524); Ptolemy 
 (Basle, 1545); Vergil (London, 1546); Suetonius (Venice, 1554); 
 Lossius (Frankfort, 1559-62) ; Thomas a Kempis (? 1568) ; Baron (Day, 
 London, 1579); Cw'^ (Leyden, 1590); with many others. 
 
 Altogether the discoveries made whilst re-cataloguing this 
 portion of the library amounted to 160 volumes. One of the 
 most important was the fourth volume of the Complutensian 
 Polyglot Bible, which was thought to be wanting. In a paper read 
 by Mr. John Taylor, at the Congress of the Library Association 
 of Great Britain, at Plymouth, in 1885, and subsequently pub- 
 lished in pamphlet form, entitled: "The Earliest Free Libraries 
 
of England," it is stated on page 37 that " the Bristol copy 
 unfortunately wants the fourth volume, which was stolen while the 
 books were in charge of the Library Society."* Now, whatever may 
 be said to-day of the policy of that private society, in appropriating 
 for a long period, the entire building and books of the City Library, 
 which rightfully belonged to the citizens, it is a relief to find beyond 
 doubt, that no blame can be attached to its memory in this instance, 
 as the volume in question was never lost. 
 
 In conclusion I have gratefully to acknowledge the kindness of 
 the Right Hon. the Earl of Crawford, President of the Library 
 Association, 1898-9, in permitting me to lay before him the first 
 proof copy of the incunabula portion of the catalogue. My thanks 
 are due also to E. Gordon Duff, Esq. ; Dr. Richard Gamett ; 
 Robert Proctor, Esq. ; Frank Pacy, Esq. ; and especially to 
 Dr. Cuthbert Atchley. 
 
 As we read of the wholesale destruction of libraries in the past, 
 and wonder at the popular rage which at times exhausted itself on 
 illuminated books and MSS., it is surely a matter for congratulation 
 
 * This society was originally founded in 1772, as a subscription library, the Bristol Corporation 
 permitting its members the use of the building until the year 1855. In this way the library was for a 
 long time alienated to the use of a private society, and everything was done ' • that would exclude the 
 poor student and the humble citizen from its use, and render it a public Ubrary to those only who 
 could aflford to pay for its accommodation." (Tovey's History of the Bristol City Library, p. 22.) 
 
 " So entirely did the society consider themselves owners of the property, that in 1826 they requested 
 the Corporation to permit them 'to remove the city books from the city shelves, in order to make 
 room for books belonging to the society ' ; but, although the citizens had been practically excluded for 
 many years from their own property, the Common Council was offended at the impudence of the 
 demand, and the application was ' laid on the table.' " (Latimer's Annals of Bristol in the Nineteenth 
 Century, Bristol, 1887, p. 334.) 
 
 xii. 
 
that one of the earliest of municipcd public libraries, with a collection 
 possessing such peculiar interest and value should have been preserved 
 to the City. 
 
 I therefore, with much respect, dedicate this work to the 
 Chairman, Mr. Alderman Fox, and Members of the Libraries 
 Committee of the Corporation of Bristol.

 Frederick Egmondt, an important and wealthy foreign bookseller, was in 1499 in 
 partnership with a man whose name, given in a Latin form, was Peter post Pascham. 
 It seems to have been a common custom with printers and booksellers to Latinize their 
 names when they issued Latin books . . . and this habit has been a fruitful source 
 of confusion to bibhographers. ... In the case of Peter post Pascham, all 
 ingenuity seems imavailmg, and no reasonable guess has yet been made at his real 
 name.— Vide Frederick Egmondt, by E. Gordon Duff. " 27ie Library," vol. II.,

I5I5- I5I5- 
 
 The titlepage of each volume commences with the following : — 
 " Haec tibi pentadecas tetragonon respicit illud 
 Hospitium petri z pauli ter quinq3 dienun. 
 Namq3 instrumetum vetus hebdoas innuit : octo 
 Lex noua signatur. ter quinq3 receptat vtrunq}." 
 
 Under these lines are the arms of Cardinal Ximenez, and then the special title of 
 the volmne. The titlepage of the fifth volume differs slightly from the others, the 
 Cardinal's hat in the centre being printed in black instead of red. In the first line of 
 Leo X.'s letter in Vol. I. occurs the misprint — Dilfcte. 
 
 TAe New Testament portion was printed in 1514, and the Old 
 Testament in 15 1 7 ; hut though printed at these dates, the sanction 
 of Pope Leo X. (see Vol. I.) was not obtained till 1520, and 
 the work was probably not in circulation until the year 1522. 
 Dibdin states that the entire cost of the work, which amounted in 
 English money to between ;^ 11,000 and £12,000, was defrayed by 
 the Cardinal. In order to become better acquainted with the more 
 learned parts of the Polyglot, Cardinal Ximenez undertook to 
 make himself master of the Hebrew tongue, though he was upwards 
 of sixty years of age. He employed a large number of learned 
 men, and gave 4,000 crowns for seven MSS. of the Hebrew Bible. 
 The interest of the work is not merely from its being a superb 
 example of the early printing, but because it is the first Polyglot 
 edition of the Bible, and the first printed edition of the New 
 Testament in the original tongue. 
 
 The original binditig has been carefully restored.

 " The first edition was no sooner published, than Erasmus saw all the errors of it ; 
 and, consequently, in \>is second oi 1519, he has presented us with a purer text, and 
 more valuable readings. Joseph Scaliger, who was never a very favourable critic 
 towards the works of the learned, had the highest veneration for this second edition 
 of Erasmus." — T. F. Dibdin, Introduction to the Greek and Latin Classics, London, 
 1827 ; Vol. I., p. 109. 
 
 *' Frobenius became one of the most learned printers on record. . . . Erasmus 
 tells Herwagen, in a letter -(vritten to the latter in 1531, that Frobenius benefits the 
 public more than himself, and that he wiU leave his heirs more fame than money. For 
 Froben spent enormous sums on the getting up of his impressions ; even the titlepages 
 were to excel in beauty of execution those of other printers ; he employed Holbein, 
 the painter, and Urs Graff, a then famous engraver, whom he paid liberally. The 
 retimis of his sales did not cover the cost of production." — The Printers of Basle, in

 2 Esdras xiij is divided in the MS. at v. 15 to make a fourteenth chapter, 
 and followed without interval by 3 Esdras. The chapters of Esther are 
 numbered III.=3 + 4 ; IIII.= 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 ; V.= 8 + 9 + 10 to verse 4; 
 VI. =10 verse 4 to end ; but there is a space of 12 cms between the end of 
 cap. 15 and beginning of cap. i6. Job ends, fo. 139 verso, et letatum est cor 
 Tneum in abscondito. et (xxxi. 27) ; fo. 140 commences stributionis. Et habitare 
 fecit tn tabernacula eorum (Ps. Ixxvij. 54). Proverbs ends, fo. 149 verso, qui se 
 corripit. nee ad saprentes graditur (xv. 12) ; fo. 150 begins et profunduni abyssi. 
 quis (Ecclus. i. 2). Daniel ends, fo. 208, in momento coram eo (xiv. 41). On 
 fo. 268 verso against i Cor. x. (15-18), in a 17th century hand, is written 
 sacramentum Eucharistiae, and on the next folio against i Cor. xi. (23-27), 
 Verba Christi de sanguine & corpore suo haec sunt. The book of The Acts 
 does not appear to have been contemplated by the scribe, as St. John's Gospel 
 is immediately followed on the same page by the summary of Romans. 
 These summaries are written in redoubled columns, four to the page. 
 
 There are no catchwords or signatures, and the book has been bound so 
 tightly that one cannot see the strings. 
 
 This is known as the Corporation Bible, and was handed over to the 
 Library in 1785. The city records contain the following : — 
 
 May I2th, 1785.— On the motion of Mr. Harford it is unanimously agreed and ordere<I that a Latin 
 Manuscript Bible, now in the Chamberlains office, be forthwith sent to the Public Library in 
 this city, and there deposited with the other books and manuscripts belonging to this corpora- 
 tion under the care of the Librarian. 
 
 2. Massbook (Victorine Canons of Bristol). 
 
 Vellum, size 33-5 cms high x 23 cms across, ff. 153, 
 35 lines each. Cent. XV. (circ. 1420). 
 
 in double columns ot 
 
 63 
 
In quires of 8 leaves, with catchwords : the quire fo. 73 sq. lacks its last 
 leaf, and that succeeding its first 4 leaves; and the quire fo. 140 sq. lacks 
 the last 5 leaves, and the next quire the first 5. The Kalendar, &c., and the 
 Temporale is missing up to the midst of the Epistle for the third mass of 
 Christmas Day; fo. i commencing "et odisti iniquitatem: propterea unxit": 
 fo. 81 commences with "incipiens a moyse et omnibw^", in the gospel for 
 Easter-Monday; and fo. 143 "Sacrosawc/a hodier If Sequence." the 
 sequence for St. Andrew. The MS. ends on fo. 153 verso with "salutem. 
 Q,ommun'\o . Per lignum serui " (facti sumus catchwords), the communion 
 for the mass of the Finding of the Holy Cross. 
 
 Contents : 
 
 Temporale (Third Mass of Christmas Day, from midst of Epistle) . . . . fo. i 
 
 Ordo missae fo- 73 
 
 Canon Missae fo. 78 
 
 Sanctorale fo. 143 
 
 There are no miniatures : there are two small illuminated capitals (gold 
 letter on coloured ground) and eleven large ones (coloured letter on gold 
 ground), all of characteristic English style. 
 
 The MS. shews close agreement with the Missal of the Abbey of St. 
 Victor ad muros Parisienses, with which it has been collated. The sequences 
 in the MS. are generally not the same as those at St. Victor. The Litany 
 and the Sanctorale shew traces of the French derivation. The MS. is localised 
 fi-om the following facts : the rubrics mention the abbot ; but it was not an 
 abbey of monks, following St. Bennet's rule, for St. Maur and St. 
 Scholastica have only memories ; therefore it was an abbey of canons of the 
 rule of St. Austin. In the Litany, St. Victor is the second martyr after the 
 Holy Innocents ; St. Austin's name the second and the sixth among the 
 confessors, the archbishop of Canterbury and the bishop of Hippo, and 
 each of the latter is invoked twice. This postulates an abbey of Austin 
 Canons of the order of St. Victor of Paris, dedicated to St. Austin of Canterbury; 
 and the presence in the Sanctorale and Litany of such names as St. Cadoc 
 of Cowbridge, St. Milburg of Wenlock, St. Werburg of Chester, SS. Wlstan 
 and Oswald of Worcester, and St. Oswald of Gloucester, together with the 
 absence of east-country saints, is decisive in favour of Bristol to the 
 exclusion of Grimsby. 
 
 The Feast of Relics is kept on the Third Sunday after Easter ; and the 
 Dedication mass has no variants for LXX., Lent, or Eastertide. 
 
 A fuller account of this MS. will appear in the forthcoming number of 
 the Transactions of St. Paul's Ecclesiological Society.

 lines each. Circ. 1400 A.D.

 " liber glastonie." 
 
 This series of sermons is on the various gospels from Ash Wednesday to

 on Job vi. 19. The use closely follows that of Paris, but the gospel for 
 Thursday after Invocautt x?, Si vos manscritis : and on " Feria tertia secunde

 lesson for the day) and the second on Good Friday is on Exodus xxv. 40. 
 
 On fo. 103 is an Inspeximus by Thomas, Archbishop of Canterbury, of a 
 charter granted by William Courtenay his predecessor, settling a dispute 
 between the rectors and vicars of the diocese on the one hand, and their 
 parishioners on the other, concerning tithes and offerings. Dated at Lambeth, 
 25 July, 1408, the 1 2th year of his translation. 
 
 A leaf is lost between if. 90-91: ff. 25 52 inclusive have their outer 
 m.urgins cut away close to the text, and the outer columns of fo. loi are 
 entirely gone.
