PREFACE. 
 
 THE kindness of the Master and Fellows of Jesus College 
 enables me to lay before the public for the first time a 
 Catalogue of the Manuscripts belonging to the College. The 
 only previous attempt is a list of seven volumes in Thomas James's 
 Ecloga Oxonio-Cantabrigiensis (1600, p. 137): reprinted by Ber- 
 nard in 1697 : there is also a brief note in Halliwell's Manuscript 
 Rarities of the University of Cambridge (1841, p. 173). Uffenbach 
 {Merkwiirdige Reisen, iii. 75) was unable to obtain access to the 
 manuscripts. 
 
 The collection is mainly the gift of one donor, Thomas Man 
 (B.A. 1674, M.A. 1678, M.D. 1687), Fellow of the College, and 
 Vicar of Northallerton (see no. 8). More than fifty manuscripts 
 were given by him, and a majority of these came from Durham 
 Priory. Other northern monasteries, e.g. Hexham, Rievaulx, 
 and Kirkstall, are also represented. Though not containing 
 anything of surpassing importance, the collection is an interesting 
 one enough. There is little good illuminated work, save in one 
 Bible (no. 11). The Medical MSS. are fairly numerous. Probably 
 the most attractive items in the Library are the early fragments in 
 no. 5, the English passages in no. 13, the palimpsest Anglo-Saxon 
 Homilies in no. 15, the Bury Formulae (no. 18), a French hymn 
 (no. 21), the Psalter (no. 23), the Priscian (no. 28), the Rievaulx 
 Catalogue (no. 34), the French Lapidaire (no. 44'), the Story of 
 the Death of Judas (no. 46), the Wycliffite Gospels and New 
 Testament (nos. 30, 47), the Obituary Roll in no. 55, Lydgate and 
 
 1 This Lapidaire does not correspond with any of the texts printed by M. L. Panier 
 in the Bibliothique des Hautes Etudes. 
 
Vin PREFACE. 
 
 Cato (no. 56), a list of books in no. 57, and the Chronicles (no. 58). 
 As a specimen of writing, the volume by the scribe Emylton 
 (no. 70) is very noteworthy. 
 
 On the remarkable and beautiful room in which the manu- 
 scripts are preserved, the reader should consult Willis and Clark's 
 Architectural History of the University of Cambridge (ii. 165, 
 iii. 460). 
 
 I should like, in conclusion, to express my particular obliga- 
 tions to the Librarian of the College, the Rev. F. J. Foakes- 
 Jackson, who has been most kind in affording me access to the 
 manuscripts under his charge.

 The first quire is gone : the text begins in Gen. xxxvi. 24.

 The order of the books is as follows : 
 
 Gen.— 2 Chr. 
 Esdre I. = Ezra. 
 
 Uerba Neemie filii Esdre (running-title Esdre I.) = Nehemiah. 
 
 Esdre II. = 4 Esdr. i. ii. + 3 Esdr. + 4 Esdr. iii.-xvi. The books are joined without 
 any note, thus :

 positionem domini dei israel. Anno • xxx° • ruine ciuitatis ierusalem. 
 
 Tobit — Psalms. 
 
 The Psalter shows more traces of wear than the rest of the book : at the end of it is a 
 stichometric note : Expliciunt psalmi c. 1. qui continent uersus numero quinque milia. 
 
 Isaiah — Malachi. 
 I, 2 Maccabees. 
 Prov. — Eccius.

 The writing is fairly good, probably English : the initials plain 
 red and blue for the most part.

 Virgo gaude 95 
 
 On f. I « is a hymn (cent, xiii) in French, in 7 stanzas of 6 lines 
 each : 
 
 Ave ihu ki pa?- no«s pecheurs del eel descendistis 
 E de la ui?-gine marie char e sane preistes 
 E uoitre seinte deite de deuz sun cors cuueristes 
 Ke deus esteis e creatur uerai hume deuenistes 
 Sauue la uj?^inite de la seinte pucele nasquistes 
 E par la porte close del bonure uentre issistes. 
 
 Each stanza begins with Ave ihu. A rubric follows : 
 
 Ki ces saluz suuent dirat: ia ben del eel ne lui faudrat. 
 De ses pechez pardun auwat : e a prffi sa fin a deu irat. 
 Ke nortre sire le otreat a seint franchiff ke les rimat. 
 
 On the same page is a Memoria of S. Sebastian (xv cent.). 
 
 Also in red : Iste liber Pertinet Thome Bryston (xvi) and also 
 the name Thomas Thomylthorp (xvii). 
 
 On f. I (5 is a long hymn in two columns; 16 stanzas of 12 
 lines each (xiiith cent).

 The Psalter. 
 
 The words Beatus tiir — impiorum are in blue and red capitals, ornamented. The 
 Collects are appended to each Psalm. The following Psalms have large initials : none 
 are figured. 
 
 Dominus illuminatio. Exultate. 
 
 Dixi custodiam. Cantate (a good design). 
 
 Quid gloriaris. Domine exaudi (Ps. ci. lat.). 
 
 Dixit insipiens. Dixit dominus. 
 
 Saluum me fac. 
 
 Ps. cli. Pusillus eram, with the Collect Deus exaudibilis, follows Ps. cl. 
 
 The Litany has been very oddly treated. The original names of the Saints invoked 
 after See Clemens have been rewritten in the xvth century, and extended to the full 
 Sarum form for the days of the week. This has necessitated the insertion of an extra 
 leaf, f. 9* of quire h : the verso of f. 78 being entirely palimpsest. The original list of 
 Saints ended at f. 78 a, col. 2, 3 lines from the bottom : the Saints now occupy the whole 
 of f. 78 and col. i of f. 79. It is not possible at present to determine the original names. 
 
 The Sequences on f. 81 sqq. have musical notes on a 4-line stave for the first verse of 
 each. There are two for S. Augustine, Magne pater Augustine and Celt cities applaudite, 
 which indicate that the book was for use in an Augustinian house. 
 
 On f. 95 b is the poem : 
 
 Virgo gaude digna laude templum sancti spiritus. 
 Que nature uicto iure concepisti celitus. 
 In 68 11. 
 
 Then follow 7 lines : 
 
 Gaude uirgo gloriosa uerbum uerbo concepisti 
 Gaude tellus fructuosa uite fructum protulisti. 
 
 The fly-leaf at the end is from a Missal of cent, xiii, in double columns of 30 lines 
 each, containing Proper Prefaces for Easter, etc.

 On the first page of the Proprmm de Sanctis is added at the 
 top in a slightly later hand: De sco benedicto de Wermuth ^ Os 
 iusti Alleluia Justum deduxit. At the bottom in another xivth 
 cent, hand : Tractus Desiderium non est in hoc libro (see fly-leaf). 
 
 S. Blasius is inserted in the margin before S. Agatha. We also 
 find : SS. Vedastus and Amandus, Scholastica (Cedda B. C. and 
 Oswin inserted) Cuthbert, Aelphege, (in the lower margin here is a 
 late notary's device, the name R. Yond at the bottom, the initials 
 I. A. C. round the top) Wilfrid, John of Beverley, Dunstan,

 Romanus, Etheldrida, (Frydeswyda inserted, S. Edmund of Can- 
 terbury inserted), Edmund the King. 
 
 Four leaves from the end begins the Tonartum. 
 
 The book is evidently from Durham: but the Catt. Vett. do 
 not admit of identifying it. The two fly-leaves at the end are 
 also from service-books with music : the second has a hymn to 
 S. Oswald.

 F. I a has a border of French-Flemish work, the style of which 
 is later than that of the rest of the ornamental work. It is divided 
 into triangles with grounds of fluid gold, blue and red, with flowers 
 and flourishes. There is also a miniature, occupying three-fourths 
 of the text-space, of the Descent of the Holy Ghost : the Virgin 
 and 17 others are kneeling in a room : above are the Father and 
 Son throned, probably sending down the Dove. This part of the 
 painting has been partly erased. The style of it is very bad. In 
 the lower margin are these arms. Quarterly aztire and gules, four 
 lions or rampant gardant. On a chief argent wavy, 3 besants sable. 
 Throughout the book, at the L. of each column, is a kind of orna- 
 ment topped with a fleur-de-lys alternately gold and blue, and 
 with demi fleurs-de-lys, alternately gold and blue, springing out of 
 it all the way up. 
 
 There are a certain number of marginal notes.

 The book comes from Durham. On f. i (J is the letter N, and

 which answers to this copy. 
 
 Possibly it may be one of two Priscians left by Bp Hugo Pudsey in 1195 (1. c. 118).

 Ending imperfectly : 
 
 si penultimam correptam habent ante penultimam. 
 
 The ornaments of the book, such as they are, are interesting. 
 
 The initial to the whole work (f. i b) is of white and blue on a red 
 
 ground, and contains a picture in outline of Priscian in a pointed 
 
 cap and embroidered dress, writing at a desk, on a scroll inscribed : 
 
 Sum romanoram corrector grammaticorum. 
 
 The initial to book viii is better drawn and better preserved : 
 the colours used are the same. In it a boy in tunic and blue shoes 
 is climbing among the interlacements. The tract de accentibus has 
 a very Celtic initial, with plaited work. 
 
 It may be of interest to add some notice of the Greek alphabet 
 and numerals which appear on f i a. They are arranged in this 
 form :

 an imperfect archetype : f. i « is blank : the text begins imper- 
 fectly : f. 93 ^ was originally blank. This page and ff. 94-103 (as 
 well as ff. 3, 4) are written in a late xvth cent. hand. 
 
 The initials of the books are plain green or red. 
 
 There are marginal and interlinear glosses in at least four 
 hands : i, contemporary ; 2, of cent, xiii, xiv ; 3, of cent, xv, by 
 the scribe who supplied the latter leaves ; 4, of cent, xv, xvi, re- 
 sembling an Italian hand. 
 
 The text begins at Aen. i. 230.

 The xvth century hand supplies all after

 Books vii-xii have the arguments in hexameters. 
 
 The shape of the book indicates that it was intended, not for

 It is perhaps worth remarking that the comparatively small amount of secular 
 literature which the list contains was probably a common feature in Cistercian Libraries, 
 at least in the early days of the order.

 1. Prosodia Sacerdotum i 
 
 This is a table of all the words in the lessons, etc., for the 
 
 whole year, in which mistakes in prosody were likely to be 
 made. The quantity of the penultimate .syllable is indicated 
 by an / for longa, ^ = breuis, .r= accent subleuatus on the 
 last syllable, d for a defressura of the accent on the last. 
 There is a fair border on f. \a of English work, and other 
 partial borders occur, but the ornament is not remarkable. 
 In the part relating to the Proprium Sanctorum we have the 
 usual Sarum English Saints, with special emphasis on S. 
 Frideswide: her feast, octave, translation, Dominica infra 
 Octauam, and Per Octauam : following this, and imme-

 Mirabiliter oriri cepit sancta arbor de tribus uirgulis composita. Prima erat Cipres- 
 sina alia Cedrina et Pini speciem habuit tertia. Cypressus patrem Cedrus filium 
 Pinus spiritum sanctum significat de quibus facta est christi (crux) adoranda. Et 
 mirabilius in terra stetit usque ad tempus Dauid regis nichil crescens nee uiriditatem 
 nee foliorum teneritudinem perdens set per omnia sic permansit sicut prime Moisi 
 apparuit donee sanctus Dauid memit illam de loco transferre et in orto suo reponere. 
 Jbi -u- erat ilia crescens ut xxx" annis efficeretur arbor grandis ; hec inter omnes arbor 
 uua nobilis. Ex illis tribus uirgulis creuit quas dei amicus Moyses a sompno excitatus 
 circa se reperit exortas per tres noctes continuas quas dei amicus deo dilectus Dauyd 
 ad Jerusalem detulit: ibi in viridario suo coUocatus per annos xxx** coluit. et unoquoque 
 anno in illarum summitate unum argenteum circulum innexuit. Et reliquos inferius 
 innexos dilatauit ut arbor dilataretur in grossum et extenderetur in longum. ille uirgule 
 continuatam habentes uiriditatem in unam siraihm concreuerunt arborem. Que arbor mire 
 suauitatis erat in estate et yeme immarcescibiles fro«[i35]dium flores protulit. Tempore 
 peracto laudabilis arbor cedris libani omnibus sublimior iussu regis Salamonis succisa 
 est ad edificacionem templi et cunr nullo modo coaptari poterit et coequari, in cruci- 
 fixionem tantummodo corporis Christi digna fuit coaptari in qua uita mundi pependit, 
 in qua Christus triumphauit. Et xxx'" aureos circulos in temple suspenses uesani 
 acceperunt ludei et dederunt infelici lude pro tradicione domini nostri ut asset ueraciter 
 impletum quod dicitur per prophetam: Apprehenderunt mercedem xxx'" argenteis quos 
 appreciatus (sum) ab eis. Et in passione domini secundum mathei iro^Kposicionem de eodem 
 infelici luda scriptum est quod adiret principes sacerdotum et inquireret ab eis precium 
 nostri saluatoris ita inquiens. Quid uultis mihi dare et ego eum uobis tradam. At illi 
 constituerunt ei xxx** argenteos, illos uidelicet predictes circulos qui temple pendebant, 
 quos communiter possidebant et quos infelix ludas accepit pro tradicione domini nostri. 
 Et uendito Ihesu Christe rediit ad demum suam et retulit matri sue per ordinem 
 quomodo tradidit dominum Audiens autem eius mater quod ab eo traditus esset in 
 furorem conversa est et lacrimata est dicens. Heu me miseram qui te genui celeratum 
 filium. Quid tibi et iusto illi ? Quare infelix iustum et sanctum tradere ueluisti. Nunc 
 ergo absque dubitacione omnes maledicciones implebuntur in te <que> [135 i] per 
 prophetam ita sunt scripte f&ant filii eius orphani et uxor eius uidua et cetera que 
 secuntur in illo psalmo. Nen enim ut estimas filium hominis tradidisti sed unigenitum 
 dei filium et ecce a te sanguis eius exquisitus et tu reus mortis eius extiteris. vere de 
 illo propheta dicit Filius hominis uadit sicut scriptum est de eo : ue illi per quem 
 traditus fiierit. Nunc ergo fill doloris mei quid acturus quid dicturus eris dum ueritatis 
 prophetam a mortuis resurrexisse cegnoueris? Ad uocem igitur lacrimose matris in 
 iracundiam prouocatus ludas respexit ad focum uiditqiie super eum ollam fenientem 
 stantem et in ea semicoctum gallum iacentem, clamauitque ad matrem suam. Quomodo 
 in tantum deuenisti errerem ut ilium amentem dicas fuisse prophetam atque a mortuis 
 aliquem resurrecturum ? Ego autem per maximum affirmo iuramentum quod de ista 
 poterit olla facilius hie depilatus exire gallus quam resurgere a mortuis ille crucifixus. 
 Hec dum infelix ganniret et ad modum wlpis clamaret ludas, semicoctus gallus effectus 
 est rediuiuus et pretinus de feruenti olla exiliens apparuit pulcherimus pennisque et plumis 
 restitutus et uolauit super tecta domus ibique diu mansit ouans et gaudens quasi 
 pronunciaret tempus resurrectionis christi. Affirmat ergo edi[i36]cio grecerum hunc 
 eundem extitisse gallum qui eadem nocte cum cantando Petrum arguit negantem. super 
 quem lacrimantem dominus continue respexit. Hoc autem signo infelix ludas territus

 The writer excuses himself for having left Hughes's letter so 
 long unanswered, on the ground that for 12 years he had been 
 studying Law, and had forgotten his Latin. He then makes the 
 offer of this MS., which he had inherited from his father, once 
 Hughes's tutor; the letter is dated E Tuguriolo nostro Sueniae 
 iuxta Oswestriam Salopiae Calend. Februarii 1594. 
 
 Hughes continues :

 The binding and the handwriting of the table of contents, as 
 well as the folio-numbering, recall very strongly the Bury MSS., 
 but there is no press-mark. This may have been on one of two

 the handwriting of the table of contents is, I think, that of the 
 Librarian of Bury in cent, xv \

 prose, imperfect at the beginning. Partly edited by Stevenson 
 for the Maitland Club. The principal MS. is at Corpus 
 Christi (Cambridge), no. 132 {. i a 
 
 The present copy is imperfect at the beginning. The first words 
 are drount a brut de loranguise et del seruage. The first 
 rubric (f. 49) is comment les deux freres mamp'z et Maulin 
 estriuerent pour la terre. 
 
 This copy goes down to the death of Henry IIL in 1272. The 
 Corpus MS. ends in 1362. 
 
 2. A chronicle in Latin beginning in the year 1042 and ending 
 
 (imperfectly) with the death of Simon de Montfort . . 710

 Binding : a leaf of a folio Psalter in double columns, cent, xiii, 
 the same book in which nos. 20 and 25 are bound. The fly-leaves are 
 from the smaller Psalter, which has been used to bind Q. G. 4 and 5. 
 At the beginning is the middle sheet of a quire containing parts of 
 Pss. xli. (xiii.) Judica me — xliv. (xlv.) Deits aiiribiis. At the end is 
 a sheet containing parts of Pss. xxxiii. Exultate iusti, xxxvi. Noli

 The provenance of this and the other books in which fragments 
 of this Psalter recur is probably Durham.
