3. Epistola Nuncupatoria.
Counterpart of the Epistola Nuncupatoria is to be traced in the
Speculum as follows :
(a) Certain entreaties and promises are recorded in both texts :
Liber. Speculum.
fol. 109 b, 1. 30 : Memor peticionis
31tue.
fob 109 b, 1. 31 : qua me obnixe
fla32gitasti.

(5) Both Guido (also Guy) and Guy of Warwick had been occu-
pied with war and the affairs of the world. The facts recorded in
the Liber and in the various descriptions of Count Guido, the friend
of Alcuin, are of the nature of those associated with Guy of Warwick
in the marvellous versions of his famous exploits. The Speculum
does not claim to convey a record of the military achievements of
the knight, but all that portion of his history is written between
the lines of the present poem. The Latin treatise describes a hero
of the character of Guy of Warwick, and provides ground in
practical life for deeds corresponding to those for which Guy was
famed.
