106 CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS [6/
Liber primus de operibus vj primorum dierum et attinentibus.
Mundum coelum et naturam bona philosophorum pars idem esse putauerunt.
The first 13 leaves are in a smaller and earlier type of hand than the rest.
Lib. 1 occupies 121 leaves. Lib. 11 (de gestis in prima et secunda mundi aetate)
begins on the leaf numbered 2 b. Only one page is in the first hand. The second, which
writes the framework of all the rest of the volume, begins by being large, but becomes
smaller. The form is annalistic.
f. 4 is by another hand, f. 7 blank.
Tercia aetas begins f. 15, but no title of a book occurs here.
Quarta aetas f. 37. A large proportion of the few historical notices here are from
Geoffrey of Monmouth.
Quinta aetas f. 56.
Sexta aetas f. 113.
Additions in a less good hand begin to be common. They relate to early church
history at first. But from 129 b insertions are made from Trithemius de Scriptoribus. The
first are badly misplaced, Accursius and Joh. de Abbatisvilla, etc., under A.D. 122, etc.
They are then correct: the original writer also uses Trithemius. The entries are abridged,
but follow Trithemius’ order throughout.
At the end of the annal for 1512 (311 b} is
Hactenus loannes Mimallis Tornacensis.
The annals continue to 1525, and years are marked to 1538, but have no entries.
67. Boethius. f E. /3. 5

From Bury St Edmunds. On i b, in the hand which I call John
Boston’s, is:
