Etona, Dabam Jun. Kalend. A. D. 1813. Manuscripts CLASSICAL, BIBLICAL, AND BIBLICOORIENTAL.-No. II. We have made arrangements for collecting an account of ALL Manuscripts on the foregoing departments of Literature, which at present exist in the various PUBLIC LIBRARIES in GREAT BRITAIN. We shall continue them in each Number till finished, when an INDEX shall be given of the whole. We shall then collect an account of the Manuscripts in the ROYAL and IMPERIAL LIBRARIES on the Continent. All communications from our Friends will be of assistance to our undertaking. BRITISH MUSEUM. No. II. BIBLIOTHECA MSS. REGIA. Codices Manuscripti Biblici Latini, The Latin Biblical MSS. in the Royal Collection are very numerous, but as the larger portion of them are of no older date than the 14th or 15th Century, and these interlineated with the miserable theological glosses of the times, and of no authority for critical purposes, a few only of the more ancient or curious of these MSS. will be here considered worthy of notice. 7. SANCTI Pauli Epistola. Sec. XI. [1 A. XVI.] 8. Codex Evangeliorum. Sec. IX. [1 A. XVIII.] Obss. The following note written in ancient Saxon characters appears at the beginning of this MS. "Hunc Codicem Athelstan Rex devota mente Dorobernensi tribuit Ecclesiæ." And at the end there is written in a hand about 500 years old, "De claustro Cantuario." The word cata instead of secundum is herein frequently used. E. g. "explicit Evangelium cata Mar cum." 9. Solomonis Proverbia, Ecclesiastes, Cantica, cum Prologis et Sapientia. Sec. XIII. [1 B. IV.] Obss. This Anathema, not uncommon in ancient MSS. is inscribed in the beginning, "Liber De Claustro Roffensi per Johannem Priorem ; quem qui inde alienaverit, alienatum celaverit, vel hunc titulum fraudulenter deleverit, Anathema sit. Amen." 10. Quatuor Evangelia cum Præfationibus et Eusebii CanoniSec. VIIÏ. [1 B. VII.] bus. Obss. Written in Saxon characters. 11. Biblia Latina. Sec. XIII. [1 B. VIII.] 12. Biblia Latina. 13. Evangelia IV. Sec. XIII. [1 B. X.] Sec. XII. [1 B. XI.] 14. Biblia Latina; cum interpretatione Nominum_Hebraicorum alphabetica. Sec. XIII. [1 B. XII.] Obss. The name of the transcriber and the date of the transcript is thus noticed at the end of the volume. "Hunc librum scripsit Willielmus de Hales, Magistro Thome de la Wile, quem vocavit Magister Radulphus de Hehham tunc Cancellarius Sarum: quibus Deus in hoc Sæculo et in futuro propicietur. Amen. Factus fuit Liber anno 1:54. ab incarnatione Domini." 15. Quatuor Evangelia, cum Eusebii Canonibus et præfationibus usitatis. Sec. XI. [1 D. III.] 16. Evangelia IV. cum Prologis usitatis et sine Canonibus. Sec. XI. [1 D. IX.] Obss. This MS. is remarkable for having in it the signature of King Canute; With a Charter, in Saxon, confirming the Privileges of the Church. The last leaf of St. John's Gospel is wanting. 17. S. Lucæ et S. Johannis Evangelia. S. Pauli et Catholicæ Epistola. Sec. XVI. [1 E. V.] Obss. This MS. contains the versions of St. Jerome and Erasmus in parallel columns. It is a very tall volume exquisitely written by Peter Meghen (an eminent scribe of the XVIth Century) for the celebrated Dean Colet, as appears by the following inscription in the transcriber's hand at the end of the Gospel of St. John. "Summe et individue Trinitati, Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto, sit Laus et Gratiarum actio: Dulcissime quoque Virgini Marie Dei Filii Genetrici, cum totius celestis Curie exercitu: quorum adjutorio opus hoc duorum Evangeliorum, Luce videlicet et Johannis, conscriptum est; jussu et impensis reverendi domini et venerabilis viri D. Johannis Colett, Ecclesiæ Cathedralis Divi Pauli Londini Decani, sacre quoque Theologie Professoris, pie memorie egregii Viri Henrici Colett militis, opulentissime civitatis Londini quondam Senatoris, ejusdemque Lis Consulis, filii; arte vero ac industria Petri Meghen Monaculi, Theutonis, nationi Brabantini, Oppidi Buschiducensis, Leodiensis Dioceseos; 7° die Mensis Septembris A° Dominice Incarnationis 1509; Regni vero illustrissimi Regis Henrici octavi anno primo. P. M." At the end of the Epistles which were written in 1506, this record appears; "Kal. Novembris 22 II. 7. Eodem anno, nobilissimus Princeps, illustrissimusquè Philippus Rex Castilie, Arragonie, &c. Archi-dux Austrie, Dux Burgundie, Brabantie, &c. tempestate compellente, in Angliam applicuit: quem serenissimus Rex Henricus 7us supradictus, ut Pater Filium, recepit, summa humanitate tractavit, maximis honoribus decoravit, plurimis muneribus dotavit : qui K. Octobris viam universe carnis ingressus est: cujus Anime et omnium fidelium defunctorum misereri dignetur Altissimus. Amen.” 18. Quatuor Evangelia. Sec. VII. [1 E. VI.] Obss. This ancient copy of the Gospels once belonged to the Augustine Monastery at Canterbury. It is to be lamented that there are in it the following deficiencies, viz. the first 18 Verses of the 1st Chap. of St. Matthew. The 3 first Verses of St. Mark. From Chapter III. v. 32. to Chap ter V. ver. 14., and from Chap. XV. ver. 39. to the end. The four first verses of St. Luke. The five first Verses of St. John. And from Chap. XI. ver. 37. to the end. 19. Biblia Latina. Sec. IX. [1 E. VII. VIII.] Obss. This is one of the most ancient MSS. of the whole Bible in Latin extant in this country. It was written near 900 years ago by an Italian Scribe. The following Lacunæ have been supplied by a more recent hand, viz. the 8 first leaves of the Pentateuch. The whole of the 12 Minor Prophets with the prologue of St. Jerome, except the four first leaves. The first leaf of the Book of Job. From Psalm 110 to 143. The whole of the Book of Revelations except the first leaf. This venerable MS. has been materially corrected, and has frequent interpolations. 20. Psalterium. Sec. XVI. [2 A. XVI.] Obss. This elegant little MS. was written by John Mallard for the use of King Henry VIII. Amongst the other illuminations it is adorned with two Portraits in miniature of King Henry, and is still farther an object of inte rest and curiosity, as it possesses in the margin a few notes in this monarch's hand writing. 21. Psalterium. Sec. XIII. [2 B. III.] Obss. This MS. belonged formerly to the Church of St. Botolph, and having been taken from thence was presented to Queen Mary by Ralph Pryne a Grocer of London: as appears by the following lines written in the first leaf. God saue the most vertuus and nobull Quene Marys gras: And send her to in Joye the crowne of Eyngland long tyme and spas, Her ennimys to confunde, and hutterly to defacer And to folo her godly proceydynges God giue us gras: As euery subyegte ys bounde for her gras to praye That God may preserve her body from all dangers both nyght and daye: Be me humbull and poor Orytur Rafe Pryne, Grocer of Londoun, wyshynge your gras prosperus helthe. 22. Psalterium. Sec. XIII. [2 B. VI.] Obss. This MS. belonged to the Church of St. Alban's, being a present from John De Dalling. 23. Psalterium. Sec. XIV. [2 B. VIII.] Obss. This book is remarkable for having belonged to Joan the mother of Richard II. for whose use it was written in 1380. 24. Psalterium cum Canticis ecclesiasticis. [2 B. IX.] Sec. XVI. Obss. Beautifully written upon paper, and richly illuminated by Petruccio Ubaldini, a Florentine, for his Patron Henry, Earl of Arundel. Codices Manuscripti Classici Latini. ' 25. Cuii Julii Cæsaris Commentarii. Sec. XV. [15 C. XV.] 26. Cicero De Officiis. Sec. XII. [15 A. VI.] Obss. This book originally belonged to the Augustine Monastery at Canterbury. After the dissolution of that religious house, Linacre bought it for 8d. 27. Cicero. De Amicitia. De Senectute. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. Officiis. Orationes Philippica 14. Sec. XI. [15 A.
