IO CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS [2, 3
Macc. i, ii. Prol. of Rabanus and : Macchabeorum libri duo. f. 324 blank.
Evv. Proll. Matheus ex iudea. Matheus cum primo.
Paul. Epp. No general prologue. Romani sunt in partes etc.
Acts. Lucas antiocensis.
Cath. Epp. Non est ita ordo.
Apoc. Prol. of Gilbert, Omnes qui pie (ends f. 404 b).
In quadruple columns and less closely written: 50 lines to a column :
Inc. interpretationes hebraicorum nominum incipientium per a litteram,
a ante a. 405
Aaz apprehendens....Zuzim.
Expl. Interpretationes.
Marginalia are fairly copious in Genesis, sparse elsewhere.
The decorative initials are in a most beautiful dry clear style. Few are
historiated, but a good many contain grotesques : that to Jeremiah has the figure
of the Fool (which ordinarily accompanies the Psalm Dixit insipiens) and a dog.
The prologue (Jerome to Paulinus) has the usual figure of a man (tonsured,
in pink over blue) writing. Genesis has an initial the length of the text, and
more, containing seven elliptical medallions with gold grounds of the days of
Creation and a square picture of the Crucifixion, with the Virgin and St John
at the bottom. It has suffered somewhat from rubbing.
3. Historia Alexandri, etc.
Vellum, 8 x 5-J, if. 204, 26 lines to a page: cent, xiii, in a good
clear English hand.
