and in the same hand on the lower part of the page a note from
Bale :
Mathens Florigerus anglus, a collectis chronicorum floribus
cognomen illud sortitus etc,—opus illud suum aptissime inscripsit
Flores historiarum.
Lib, 1. Temporum summam lineam
Aliaque ilium edidisse opuscula ex stilo facile crederem etc.
—cum Ranulpho Cistrensi feliciter finiuit. Hec Joan.
Baleus Centuria 3 Script. Brit, (printed in full by
Stubbs, p. xlviii).
Bale “certainly used this MS. even if he were not at one time
its possessor; for it contains in several places notes in his unmis-
takeable hand, which show that he took the trouble to collate at
least the first seven folios with some other copy ” (Stubbs, p. 1).
I see no notes in Bale’s hand after Sa: all relate to omissions,
‘desunt tria capita’ and the like.
Stubbs proceeds to quote Bale’s Index, then unprinted. In Boole
and Bateson’s ed. the passage is on p. 288.
Matheus Florilegus scripsit annales seu historiarum flores. li. 1 :
Temporum summam lineamque descendentem etc.
Ex collectionibus Nicolai Brigam.
On which is the note by the editor that “Brigham wrote ‘ Matheus
Florigerus on the first page of Harl. 1620 : see Hardy’s preface to
the Hist, anglorum of M. Paris, I. p. Ixv.”
Brigham died at Westminster in 1559.
“Whether Bale acquired the manuscript from Brigham or merely
enjoyed the use of it, does not appear. Sir James Ware seems to
have regarded him as having been the owner ” (Stubbs, p. 1).
I believe that Bale did indeed own this MS. after Brigham, for
in the list of his MSS. (Scriptores pars posterior, after Centuria XIII)
under Chronica et historiae Brytannorum scriptorum we have
(no. 31) Matth. Westmon. flores historiarum and (no. 65) Heliae
Tryckyngham annales temporum, and no other copy of Trickingham
is known.
Stubbs continues : “ this may seem to be confirmed by the fact
that the next possessor who has written his name in the book was
like Bale himself a prebendary of Canterbury.” Bale died in 1563 ;
William Darell was prebendary from 1564 to 1580.
