44 CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS. [27-
Given by John Heaver. 2 fo. gentem paganorum.
The flyleaf, which is cut, and illegible on the recto, is from a
book of Halimotae, held in the reign of Henry III.: the writing is
of cent, xv early (?). The name of the place where the Halimotae
were held appears to be Tittenhanger (Herts.). This name and
that of Wymundham occur in the text. Both places belonged to
St Albans. It seems a fair inference that the MS. is from the
St Albans library.
Collation : 1 flyleaf | i12 212 (wants 11 blank) 312-612 74 | 1 flyleaf.
Contents:
1. Inc. Epistola beati turpini archiepiscopi ad leoprandum de-
canum .......... f- 1
Turpinus dei gracia archiepiscopus remensis.
—et deo placeas. Amen.
There is an initial, of excellent work, representing Turpin throned
full face, in mitre and blue cope, with cross-staff and book.

For a full account of this romance see H. L. D. Ward’s Cata-
logue of Prose Romances in the British Museum·, I. 546.
The romance proper consists of 34 chapters, to which 3 sup-
plementary chapters are commonly added. In these there is
some variation: the three in the Clare MS. are found in
Harley 6358 (and elsewhere). This Harleian MS. corre-
sponds rather closely with ours, in date and contents.
