syllable. At the top of folio 148 d a representation of the word
lesu is to be found. At the bottom of the same folio the line
beginning fol. 149a is transcribed. In orthography preference for
-i (py) in place of -e in inflectional endings is to be recorded.
Dd 11. 89.
5. D. MS. Dd 11. 89, University Library, Cambridge. Parch-
ment, quarto, written in single columns; c. 1440—1450. This is the
first notice in print of Dd 11. The present text, the fourth in the
collection, begins fol. 162Z> and ends fol. 1795. It is without title.
There is a comprehensive gap, 11. 407—475. A capital is occasion-
ally found at the beginning of a line. Capitals introducing lines 1
and 137 are illuminated. Latin texts are in red. Opposite each, on
the margin near the edge of the leaf, suggesting irregularity on the
part of the copyist, is the key-word or introductory letter in red.
In addition to the loss of verses through the break at the middle
of the text, the following lines are omitted : 342, 534, 535, 679, 738.
Lines 376, 790, and 925, 926 differ from the versions of other MSS.
Lines 167, 168, 201, 202, 303, 304 are transposed, and the Latin
text following line 338 is interpolated between 345 and 346.
Dd 11 is immediately preceded by “ pe prykke of conciense.”
On fol. 162a, near the bottom of the page, is to be read: “Here
endepe pe sermon pat a clerk made pat was cleput Alquyn To Gwy of
Warwyk.” This shows impress of the preceding statement: “Here
endepe pe tretys pat ys cald pe prykke off conciense.” MS. D betrays
carelessness in transcription. At times the scribe might have been
without intelligent appreciation of his prototype.
Noteworthy graphically is the service of the same character,
apparently p not only for p and y, but for 5 of other MSS. Varn-
hagen, Anglia, vol. iv., p. 182, footnote, mentions a similar usage in
the Cambridge University MS. Gg. I. 1. Dialectical peculiarities of 1)
are interesting. In orthography, the tendency to drop or to add an
initial h is characteristic of D. A redundant h is prefixed : Habra-
ham (also in H2) 347 ; habyde 676 ; lieye (O.E. eage) 827; her\e
