' I "^HIS second volume of the Catalogue of the Manuscripts ^ belonging to Gonville and Caius College contains descrip- tions of the volumes numbered 355 to 721, together with an Index compiled by Mr A. Rogers of the University Library,—for which I should like to express to him my cordial thanks,—and such corrections and additions as I have been able to make to the text of both volumes. I have also put together lists of provenances, dates, donors, and scribes of manuscripts. A large number of the books here catalogued are of fairly recent date. From no. 515 onwards there is little that is medieval; nos. 515 to 578 are the heraldic collections of Dr Knight; many of those which follow relate to the University and the College. In the case of these more modern books I have nearly always reprinted the descriptions given in Smith’s catalogue without omissions, and with very few additions of my own. It seems to me that this is the portion of Smith’s work which he did best, and that it would have been waste of time for me to rewrite it. The heraldic books, therefore, still await a searching examination by an expert. Since the publication of my first volume, M. Paul Meyer has issued a description of six manuscripts in the collection which contain important matter in old French^ {Romania 1907 and separately Les MSS. Franqais de Cambridge IV.). Had this most valuable tract appeared a little sooner, I could have avoided some 1 Nos. 136, 307, 312, 384, 424, 435. blunders in my own descriptions. Still, it has come in time for me to call the attention of students to it, and to make copious use of it in my list , of Corrigenda. Like M. Meyer’s other accounts of French manuscripts- at Cambridge, it gives many more details than a Catalogue is generally expected to supply. I have subjoined to this preface some notes of a Canterbury Kalendar and a supplementary account of the year-book (no. 715) which Mr H. D. Hazeltine of Emmanuel College has kindly written, and to which I have made some trifling additions. It seems to me that, apart from a few special rarities, the chief value of the medieval manuscripts in this Library consists in the light which they may be made to throw upon the University studies of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. From this point of view the collection is of high importance. The mass of material which it affords is larger than any other College can show. Divinity, Law, and Grammar are particularly well represented ; it would, indeed, be difficult to point to any English library which is richer in the grammatical literature of the medieval period. On the other hand, the man who is in search of early or beautifully decorated manuscripts will not find a great deal to reward him here. It is not unfair to say that the principal interest of a great many of the large folios of scholastic divinity or civil law in this library, as in many others, consists in the casual jottings on their flyleaves, and that the work of collating, measuring, and foliating them has sometimes been monotonous. Yet no medieval manuscript can be justly called quite uninteresting, and the blame lies with the cataloguer if he has failed to penetrate the secret, and has been tempted to admit the thought that this or that volume might have been handed over to the Commissioners of Edward VI. without appreciably impoverishing posterity. Si mea penna valet^ melior mea littera fiet is a common sentiment of medieval scribes (who would have put it into the pluperfect tense if they could have made it scan). With their less urbane utterances (such as Finito lihro frangantur crura magistro^ or Vinum scriptori debetur de meliori) I have no wish to associate myself; but the other I may fairly adapt as a confession of ignorance, bad writing, and unskilful proof-reading, the latter on my own part, not on that of the Press. As time goes on, leisure does not increase. What I have done I offer to the student, knowing that it is imperfect, but hoping that it will be of material use as a record and as a guide. I offer it, too, to the College in which I have numbered many friends, trusting that it may be not unworthy of the confidence they have reposed in me. G. C. C.

The body of the MS. is in Law French, although some portions, notably ff. 66-70, are in Latin. The MS. seems to be written in a late thirteenth or early fourteenth century hand. There are a good many marginal annotations, most of which are apparently in the same hand as the text of the MS., although some are clearly in a later hand. The MS. is composed for the most part of reports of pleas both at Westminster and in eyre (e.g. York). The most important of the other contents of the MS. are a number of early legal treatises. As in other very early Year-Books (see Maitland, Year-Books of Edwai^d //., Vol. IL, pp. x, xi) the reports of pleas are, with a few exceptions, not dated and are not arranged in chronological order. Judging from the few dates that can be found in the body of the MS. as well as from other internal evidence (chiefly the names of counsel and judges), one may say that the greater part of the MS. is made up of Year-Books of the latter part of the reign of Edward I., with possibly a few reports of pleas in the early years of Edward II. The contents of the MS. may be described as follows : ff. 1-65 b. Year-Books, with other miscellaneous matter interspersed, f 66a. Begins:—Notandum quod quinque sunt essonia Ends f 67 b. Explicit Parua Hengham. f. 68a. Begins:—Cum sit necessarium conquerentibus in Curia domini Regis vt sibi in causibus (!) suis congruum exibeatur remedium... Ends f. 69 a. Explicit modus *componendi breuia. f. 69a Begins:—Nota si bastardus se clamando legitimum (end). heredem... Ends f 70 b. Explicit summa de bastardis. ff. 7ia-72b. Various “notae.” ff- 73~76. Continuation of Year-Books. The marginal annotations refer chiefly to statutes, such as the Statute of Marlbridge and the Statute of Westminster the Second, and to such matters as Dower, Villeinage, etc. [On 49 b at bottom is : Gauaston. Morgane par la grace de Dieu Emperice de desert Reyne de puceles dame des Ildes lontignes gouernatrice des undes de grant meer. a nostre feal bacheler gardien del pount perilous salutz. quant piers le fers ferte (?) pier a pers lor obbia piers toutz ses pers ore est piers santz pier a perers (?) par luy poet horn aprendre qe celuy (\ui se fait peer a pers et ne veet son amps (?) etc. Done a nostre chastel de dyadmand en la Roche de or sur la Ryue de Rubie en la p’ye de amyraunde.

M. R.

[33 Edward I.; a.d. 1305.] f. 22 a: Assisa coram Roberto de Retford et Henrico Spigurnel Justiciariis ad assisam in Comitatu Essex’...in crastino animarum anno regni regis Edwardi xxvij°. [27 Edward I.; a.d. 1299.] f. 44 a. On the top of the page occur these words : De termino sancti Michaelis Anno iij°. [? 3 Edward II.] f. 50 b. At the bottom of the page, and apparently inserted in a hand somewhat similar to that of the main body of the MS., is a letter from Robert, King of Scotland, dated September 16 in the fifth year of his reign, to Edward, King of England. [Edward II.] [a.d. 13ii.] f. 6ia: De termino Pasche anno xxxij apud EboP coram R. de Hingham. [a.d. 1304.] f. 62 b contains a writ of Edward to the Sheriff of Norfolk bearing date viij° die Julii anno regni nostri xv*"®. [? Edward I. or Edward II.] Among the names that frequently appear in the above MS. Year-Books are those of Giselham (for instance, f. 75^) and Metingham (for instance, f. 58 b). William de Giselham was King’s Attorney from 7 to 14 Edward I. and in 1289 was made a Judge of the Common Pleas. He died in 1293 (Foss, /lodges of England, p. 301). John de Metingham was made a Judge of the King’s Bench in 1276. He presided in the Common Pleas from 1290 till his death in 1301 Judges of England, p. 445). p. viii, 1. ro.

Then, added in cent, xv, xvi: Concessus et accomodatus fratri Ric. bryngkeley magistro (probably in Brinkley’s hand). Doubtless one of the books left by Robert Grosseteste to the Franciscans of Oxford. Throughout the book are headlines in Latin, and chapter- numbers, of cent. xiii.

There is a space for an ornament on p. i in which Hatcher has written his inscription. The text of p. I is in red. Initial, of serpents. On p. 2 are two marginal additions to the genealogy in Greek in an English hand of cent, xiii (Joram and Joatham). On pp. 3, 4 are some xiiith cent. Latin interlineations. On p. 8 TeXevTTjaavTos is glossed in margin in pencil (xiii) defuncto. Other similar glosses occasionally occur. On p. 20 in the margin is pater -nosier in a straggling hand which I believe to be Grosseteste’s. On p. 24, at top, is a passage in Latin, Quid autem uides festucam etc., in a good late xvth cent, hand of Italian aspect. In the lower margin some Greek words in Latin letters (xiii, pencil). Various corrections made in cent, xiii are in the margins, e.g. p. 77 {-Kpoa^Xdov oi rd didpay/xara XapL^dvovres) margin: tiel to dragnia. The Latin chapters are also marked. On p.

The MS. is no. 59 in the text of Scholz, Scrivener and Gregory. The latter describes it {Troll, p. 477). It has 81 lacunae resulting from homoeotelenton.

The book was very likely written for a Christian student in the xiiith century. The names of the books and the numbers of the chapters are written in it throughout in Latin in a hand of cent, xiii, probably English. It is thus a noteworthy monu- ment of the study of Hebrew in that century. There are one or two marginal Latin notes, but none of cent, xiii that I have detected.

On p. 114 is a xvith cent, note referring to Alan Cope on the authorship of this text, which is identical with that printed previously under the name of Udalricus. This letter and the next are both printed in Foxe, Acts, v. 312 note (ed. 1846). The attribution to Volusianus is quite erroneous. Ends p. 120; uisurus sit dominum. 2. Item alia de eodem ........

The figure-drawing is very unskilful, not so the ornament. Only the first few have been fully coloured, with red, blue, yellow and black. After f. 6 red is the only colour, and after f. i6 this ceases, and we have only outline. The first word of the prologue is in decorated capitals with bird and beast figures, so also the beginning of Lib. i. On f. 3 is a globe with figures of the four elements joining hands round it. On f. 10 a globe with the figure of Christ behind it. His head appearing over it, and His feet at the bottom of the page (below the text). Lib. II (f. 15) has a large initial in red and white. On f. 22 is a full-page diagram above a globe: round it the verses Sensilis hie mundus, a diua mente secundus, Partes maternas in se tenet ecce quaternas. It is divided per saltire, and in each division is a seated or standing figure : (a) oriens holds a round inscribed Sol; [b) meridies holds a similar disc; {c) occidens holds a plant (?); {d) septemtrio holds a pointed staff. Below, under curtained arches, are two people writing. On f. 23/^ a globe inscribed Quatuor humores bis bina parte liquores Effundunt teneri per corpora sic microchosmi. Four figures (the Humours) pour liquid from jars upon man in the centre inscribed: En minor orbis homo bis binus quern nutrit humor. On the top of f. 24 the creation of man. Trees on L. Then Christ facing R. Man kneeling to Him. The verse Ecce creatur Homo quern format diua propago. On f. 28<^ a globe with four figures: one has a sistrum (?) or lyre, another a distaff. Quatuor etates uelut hie patet atque uidentur, Humane uite spatium complere iubentur. On f. 32 a globe with four figures of the seasons: Autumn holds a leaf. Tempora consurgunt uelut hoc patet orbe quaterna, Que corpus complent anni uirtute superna. On f. 36 a picture of the sea, with fish, illustrating the tides. On f. 39^5 a globe with four winged figures (the Winds), each supported by two winged heads. Agmina uentorum bis bina parte ferorum letantur mundo perflantia cuncta rotundo. On f. 40 ^ a globe in four divisions as usual, with three of the zodiacal signs in each division. Signa duodena facili moderaris habena Si ponas terna sub quauis parte quaterna. Oir f. 47 a globe with four female figures (the Tropics). Quatuor in signis agitur conuersio solis, Que solidum magni quasi corpus conficit anni. On f. 48 r a globe with four figures of the Moon and four crescents. En faciles cursus lune pariterque recursus per septimanas rapiuntur mense quaternas. On f. 49 a globe in four divisions, blank. Et quater est scissi mundo lux queque diurna. On f. 50 a globe with four principal organs of man’s body. Principialia menbra uirilia quatuor adsunt.

In an epistle ‘to the Reader’ signed ‘thine to his power,’ notice is taken of a book entitled the Compleat yiisiice as recently printed, and of which the writer of this was reputed author. This book has affixed the ‘Imprimatur’ of the Vice-Chancellor, ‘Ri. Holdsworth,’ with three other autograph signatures, Hen. Smyth, Tho. Bainbrigg, and Rich. Love. The order of subjects is alphabetical. At the beginning a dedication to Sir John Cutts, Knight, ‘Gustos Rotulorum for the county of Cambridge’ in 1633, through whose appointment the author had become ‘Commissioner of the Peace.’ 443. C.

A third hand appears at p, 273, and perhaps the same again at p. 397, where begins a short collection of Exempla. The best hand appears at p. 475. The order of the Sermons is confused. They are nearly all de Te7npore. I have not noticed any characteristic Saints nor any English passages. The last of the Sermons begins on p. 547, on Vidit ilium discipulum quern diligebat Ihesus. 2.

The volume may be compared with a MS. at Eton College, described by Mr Barclay Squire in Archaeologia for 1898 (Vol. 56, p. 89) and also with one at Lambeth. The initials, of which there are usually three on a page, are in gold on square coloured grounds; the normal size is about X 3 inches. The grounds are treated in a large variety of ways, divided into geometrical patterns, flourished in gold or colours and sometimes containing roses or grotesque figures: On p. 22 is a windmill, on pp. 23, 57 a mermaid ; p. 44 man with tabor : p. 48 man in spectacles crossing a bridge. On p. 60 a garter with motto in gold : p. 69 man and dragon : p. 80 peacock. On p. 93 a fox in a green dress with hood, and a crosier : inscribed ffryer tfoxe. In the next initial a scroll inscribed: The fox is next kynne to a fryer. p. 108. Man and dog in doorway: on p. 143 two good grotesques: p. 147 lily, and red rose. All this ornament has a very foreign appearance, but also a roughness of execution which probably denotes an English hand. 668. ?

Veranus is Bp either of Lyons or of Cavaillon. Lyphard, Abbot of Mehun-sur-Loire. The use is of Orleans, as shown (in conjunction with the saints) by the Lessons for Matins of the Virgin. There are Memoriae of SS. Anianus, Evurtius, Claudius and Maxima. Each page has a rather coarse border down the outer side. The large miniatures have almost all disappeared. Those which remain are of a quality best described as very decent shop-work. They are as follows : Kalendar: a medallion in the middle of each border. Jan. Rubbed. Warming his feet.

Behind him is a fountain. There are some grotesques in the borders, e.g. f. 18^ and i8<^, {kotte) a fox in dark tunic with walking stick carrying a basket with hens in it on his back. A late hand has written a great deal of matter on the flyleaves and on the lower margins. Nearly all of it is devotional—prayers in Latin and French : but at the beginning is a Paschal cycle, and in the Kalendar are Latin and French verses on the months and on the ages of man. 671. vac. 649.

On p. 265 is an inscription (xvii, xviii) : Le Balleur demeurent rue de Bares (?) entre la porte de leglise et une porte cochere au fon de la cour au deusieme. PARIS. The purely decorative parts of this book, borders and initials and line-fillings, are of good execution, particularly the initials, which are usually a good deal oblongated. The pictures are very distinctly above the average ; and though the margins have been closely cropped, the book is still a very beautiful specimen of fifteenth century French art. I have little doubt, from its date, that it was done for the trade; but the work is that of a very good artist. The Kalendar has two square pictures to each month, one in R., one in lower margin : 1. Jan. Seated under canopy, warming his feet at fire on R. Damaged. 2. Aquarius. Facing L. by stream. Much damaged. 3. Feb. In red hood, back to fire, face R. Sits at table eating. 4. Pisces.

The contents of Part VI correspond to the table of chapters of Part VII. After f. 101 is a gap. The last four leaves, partly in a different hand, contain further fragments of the work : 105 b is illegible. The author indicated in the title must be Sir William Petre (d. 1572: see Diet. Nat. Biogr.), but I can find no notice of the work. The aspect and character of the manuscript with its numerous imperfections and erasures suggest strongly that it is the author’s own copy.
