ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT. Small folio, calf. 30 This curious and interesting record relating to the Abl>ey of St. Denis contains the names of the various patients, the dat?s on Avhich they were treated, and the per- scriptions, during the years 1581 to 1585. It is signed by Goquer, L. Thibault, Doc-teur en la Faculte of Persian poets, FIRDUSI, is one of the great works of the world's literature. It comprises one hundred and twenty thousand verses in Persian, and was finished after thirty years' continuous work on the 23rd of February 985 A.D. at the age of seventy. It comprises the space of three thousand years and it is almost impossible to give a layman an idea of the vastness of the scale on which Firdusi worked. Mahrnoud of r Miazna, the ruling- monarch of the day, persuaded Firduisi to undertake thisi gigantic tasik by the promise of a piece of gold for each pair of verses. After spending thirty years in composing this vast poem which gives the finest idea of the national wars of the Tartars and Persians, Firdusi was rewarded by 60,000 pieces of silver instead of the promised gold pieces. The money was brought fo the poet at the moment that he was leaving the public baths. Piqued at the monarch's failure to keep his promise, Firdausi gave away his gift to the servants at the bath and the door-keepers. The poet composed a particularly virulent satiro on Mahmoud, and gave it to the king's secretary, asking him to present it to him when he saw him plunged in one (Continued over) 14 MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. Firdusi continued. of his habitual fits of melancholy. Immediately after handing the parcel of vitriolic verses, the poet disatp-peaxed and went to Bagdad, where he composed some verses in eulogy iof the vizier of the Khalif , /being as well acquainted with the niceties; of Arabic as of Persian. The vizier gave him an apartment in hib palace and tho Prince of the Faithful presented him with the 60,000 pieces of gold that had been promised him by Mahmoud. A threatening letter from Mahmoud arrived soon at Bagdad and forced the Khalif to ask Firdusi to lea\v> his town in view of Mahmoud/s military renown. On the point of leaving Bagdad, where his reception had been so hospitable, for Yemen, Firdusi heard that old friends had made his peace with Mahmoud. He returned to his native town, but a few days after his arrival while walking with a child who recited verses from the SHAH NAMEH to him, the old man felt weak, and died after a few hours. In 1020 A.D. while his coffin was being carried out of the town, the humble procession was stopped by a caravan of richly laden camels bringing sixty thousand pieces of gold from Mahmoud. The present was offered to his daughter who refused it with tihe words, " Firdusi's daughter does not need the presents of Kings/' The money was then used to erect a magnificent tomb. The Epic of Kings has been the favourite book for illustration by the artists of Persia. The adventures of the invincible Persian hero Rustem, and his combats with men and spirits, are well depicted in the manuscript Lefore us. 36 FIRDUSI. Shahnameh.. (The Epic of Kings).

The fly-leaves are (portions of the court-roll of some manor or perhaps of presentments at some Assize. On the first of these are threa lines in Latin, perhaps a charm, then a note in French that in 1106 was found Our Lord's Cloak in the Monastery at Argenteil and in October of that year the sign of the Cross was seen in the moon, also that in 1159 the Abbey of .Sybbeton (Sibton Co.

NUMEROUS INITIAL LETTERS IN RED AND BLUE, AND HEAD- INGS IN RED. Thick folio, original oak boards covered ivith X\ 7 Illth Century leather. Circa 1450/2. 36 * * * This Service Book comprises : Lectiona.ry (containing the lections read in the office) of Franciscan-Roman use : the Proiprium Sanctorum throughout the year (Saturninus Catherine), followed by the Commune Sanctorum. The lection commemorating the Franciscan martyrs Berardus (" BeirnairduiS ") and his companions (16 January, canonized 1481) is inserted at the foot of the page : Boiiaventura (canonized 1482) is omitted and the lections for Ber- nardino (canonized 1450) are put at the end, instead of in their proper place (20 May), and his Translation (28 May, 1472) is omitted. The date may therefore be taken to be 1450-1472, and probably soon after the earlier date. The prominence given to Anthony of Padua, Justina, and Prosdocimiis suggests Padua as the place of origin : and this is supported by the style of -script and decoration, and also by the spelling Ambroxius, Blaxius.

(1061-1153). But the note referring to Eugenius III.

Very few early Manuscripts are in existence, and the present one is undoubtedly one of the most important, not only for the texflbut on account of the Miniatures with which it is adorned. To Geoffrey of Mominouth (who lived cfrca 1150-1200) is ascribed the Authorship of the Merlin Prophecies : " One of the most extraordinary works of art that the Middle Ages ever succeeded in producing. Of mythical tales and curious legends there wias certainly no lack in those days, but the fabrication of a long consecutive history, to fill up a gup or form a prelude to the authentic annals of a nation was something altogether new. Yet the story was so wonderfully told, the invention was so admirable, and the marvels related appealed so strongly to the imagination, that the world for ages after seems to have been at a loss what to make of it." The present Manuscript i<5 evidently the Romance as compiled by Robert de Borron, who founded his work on Geoffrey oif Monanoutih. The great French Prose Romance which he created, became very popular, and Sir Thomas Malory borrowed much from it for liia " Morte D'Arthur." This Manuscript is nearly contemporary with Robert de Borrori. ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT WITH DRAWINGS. 67 MORLAND (Chevalier).

A second edition was at once put in hand, and a much larger work, Pliny's Historia Nafcuralis, also aippeared in the siame year. John's death, while he was eng-aged on the Augustine, relieved Venice from the effects of an error of judgment on the part of the Senate, which had granted him an exclusive pri- vilege for printing in Venice for five years.

" A fine example of a book in Jen^on's small gothic type, which he began to use in 1474 to cheapen printing by saving space. This is sometimes quoted as the first book in which it occurs, but an Officium Beatae Vlrglnis Mariac of 1474, Gratian's Decretum completed 28 June, 1474, and the Decretals of Gregory IX. completed 1 March 1475, contain this type. Mr. Horatio Brown, in " The Venetian Printing Press./' notes that Audifredi wrongly reproaches Jenson for having 1 introduced gothic characters into Italy, asserting that Vindelinus de Si>:,ra in his edition of the Qumdrageisimiale of R6be>rtus de Licio of 1473 " appears to have been the first pa-inter in Italy to make u&e of gothic character." Vindelinus, however, had begun using- it the previous year in the Repetitiones dis- putationes et tractatus variorum doctoruan, and even then as not the first printer in Italy to do so, as the type used in some of" the (-arliest books of Ulrich Han at Rome in 1*68 is a larjfe gothic. Jenson's contemporaries were far from thinking his use of g'othic discreditable to him. It is from a letter printed at the end of his gothic .type Decretals of 1475 that we learn that Pope Sixtus IV. had conferred on him the title of Count Palatine and other privileges, and ]\lr. Brown prints a note from a. copy of the Decretum Gra.ft.ani of 1474 in which the owner, Felino Sandei, records that he had obtained it from the brothers of Sancta Maria Noua de Urbe in exchange for a beautifully bound edition by de Tortfs, and bound copies of the Decretal? and Clementines, because he found Jenson 's types clearer and better fitted -to old eyes (" quonia.m caracteres iitterarum Nicola i Jensoni?, quibus hoc Decretum impressum est, aptiores clarioresque et senilibus oculis conirnodiores expertus sum "). It may be noted that the roman majuscules used in the head-lines of this De Civitate Dei were not used in any other book recorded by Proctor. Although this was cer- tainliy 'produced as a cheap edition Jenson followed his predecessors in printing the rubrics twice over." Catalogue of the Dyson Perrins' Collection.

" The printer of this book was a native of Messina, who became papal physician to Sixtus IV. He printed some forty books in the years 1470-6, and then ceased work for some time, possibly because the death of the Pope obliged him to leave Rome to escape the numerous enemies to whom he alludes in* the dedication of the ' Chromdoa Summorum pontificum/ which he edited and printed in 1474. In 1481 he resumed printing, but only issued two books in addition to this. Filippo de' Barbieri, a Dominican and an inquisitor, was a contemporary, and, like his printer, a Sicilian. "" The bibliographical puzzle which this book presents has recently been cleared up by the discovery that there are two issues identical as regards 52 of their leaves, in- cluding that which gives the register and colophon. The earlier issue consisted of only 70 leaves, of which the first two were added after the book was printed, while the other nine quires agree with the register. *' Either to meet the competition of Rie=singer's edition (published in 1482) or because his fellow countryman and kinsman the author supplied him with additional copy, Lignamine must have determined to enlarge the book almost as soon a.s it was issued. The 12 woodcuts of the Silyls wore replaced by new ones, and each is now followed by a cut of a prophet, and the double series of 24 woodcuts by pictures of Christ, John Baptist, the Virgin adoring the Holy Child, and Plato . ."

" The Strife of Love in a Dream, as its Elizabethan! translator prettily rendered tihe title of the Hypnerotomachia, is an archaeological love-story, perhaps with Antiquity itself, as its heroine, and with much more attention bestowed on the sights which she displays to her lover than on the progress of his suit. Poliphilo, ' the Lover of Polia,' falls asleep, and in his dream, to quote the preface, ' sees many antiquities, worthy of memory, in all their details, and describes them in appropriate terms with elegant style/ and not only describes them but gives their measurements. Polia takes him to the palace of Queen Eleuterylida and to see the triumphs or festivals of Jove and his earthly loves, of Bacchus and Vertumnus and Pomona, and the feast of the garden god, Priapus. She persuades him to enter a ruined tomple, where she is frightened by a vision of hell. Then Cupid carries off the lovers in a boat rowed by six nymphs. They come to the island Cytherea and see all its wonders, and the grave -of Adonis, where they are told of the festival in his .honour. Polia recounts her history to the iiymphs aoid the story of her love, with an incidental reference to the building of Treviso and the fortunes of the Lelii. Attacked by the plague, she had devoted herself to Diana; Poliphilo had found her in the temple a,nd told her what he suffered for her love. Terrified by a sight of the vengeance of Cupid on cruel maids, she bad consoled him, whereupon they were driven from the temple, made their plaint to the priestess of Venus, and were united by the goddess. At this point the dream ends, and Poliphilo, saddened by the envious day, brings his Hypnerotomachia to an end, dating it at Treviso on May Day, 1467. " In he summary on 3a we are told that five nym/phs are the five senses, Queen Eleuteryb'.da is Free Will, and a labyrinthine garden stands for human life. It IP unlikely that this allegory goes very deep; it may have been dragged in merely to avoid ecclesiastical censure. It is perhaps equally unlikely that Polia (who is once called Lucretia) was a real lady of Treviso, who entered a real convent after the plague which visited the city in 1464 and 1466, though she hag been identified with Hippolita Lelio, niece of the ruling bishop. POLTAM FRATEE FRANCISCUS COLUMXA PEEAMAVIT is the tale told by the initial letters of the successive chapters, but Fra Francesco Colonra had been a Dominican since 1455, and wtas now a teacher of rhetoric, and if he had an archaeological bishop it is more pro- bable that he was romancing of his love for antiquity than of the bishop's niece. In 1471 he joined the convent of SS. Giovanni e Paolo at Venice, is found at Padua two years later, became sacristan of his convent in 1500, was granted a pittance of firewood, bread, and wine in 1521 in consequence of his age and infirmities, and dies in 1527. When his romance was published, at the expense of the jurisconsult Lionardo Crasso, in 1499, Colonna was already 66; at the time of his death he was about 94. Of Crasso, his publisher, little is known. Tn 1508 he calls himself a ' prothonotorius apostolicus' in petitioning for a. renewed privilege for the book. This he cites as ' Polifillo vulgar, opera molto utile et f ructuosa de grandissima elegantia/ and explains that ' per li tempi e disturbi de guerra ' it had not been possible to export it, and that nearly the whole edition, on which he had spent ' assai centenera de ducati,' was still unsold. In 1508 the Venetian book-trade had MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. 55 Colonna (Francesco de) continued. indeed recently passed through a bad time, but the financial faflure of the book was perhaps equally due to the ' res una in eo niiranda ' on which Crasso had touched in his dedication to Duke Guido, that while written in Italian it could not be understood without a knowledge of Greek and Latin (' quod cum nostrati lingua loquatur, non minus ad euru cognoscendum opus sit graeoa et romana quam tusca et uernacula 0, the Greek, it may be said, being of a somewhat peculiar kind. " As regards the authorship of the wonderful illustrations, the signature .b. on the third has led to their being attributed to numerous celebrated artists, but dt is now fairly well recognized that celebrated artists in Italy did niot concern them- selves with bookwork, and that .b. is probably the signature of a woodcutters' workshop. Attempts to make a list of other books illustrated by the same hand are baffled by the dual personality which has to be dealt with. The present writer is inclined to doubt whether the same designer and the same iLlu-strator worked together in any other book." A. W.

The author of this rare treatise on music, born at Lodi in 1441, the son of a soldier of Bergamo, became a priest and studied the theory of inuisic with a Carmelite Monk and ^ taught at Monfr'cello a.nd at Bergamo. Louis Sforza established a school of music at Milan for his sake and made him th* conductor of the cathedrial orchestra. He died in 1525 after a long life devoted to music. The interesting woodcut on page (b. 6) is thus described by Weckerlin : "Au- chapitre ' De equisitione et inventione musicarum consonantiarum ' on trouve une planche giravee sur bois, fort curieuse; elle e&t drvisee en quatre parties et a pour objet de representer les inventions et les experiences de Pythagore sur Fendume. sur des cloches, sur des -verses, sur des cordes tendmes par differents poids et enfin sur les noseanx, dans lesquelles soufflent deux experimenteurs; la naivite du dessin a rarement ete plus grotesque que dans ces figures. La voluime a pour titre un orgue representant le systeme des gammes de Guido." 153 GACUINUS (R .). De origine et gestis Franco rum per quam utile compendium.

Copinger III., 5909, quoted from " Mus. Nat. Hung. No. 786," which copy wanted the first leaf. The. same copy is cited by Schreiber, 5403, but assigned to the press of B. Kis-tler about 1497 (see below). Presumably the same as Proctor, 10337, who places it among unidentified presses at Strassburg, about 1505 (?) notir j that the type is very like the 6th Hiipfiiff's, but there a.re differences; resemb\s Gran's type 5, fig. 45. We may remark that in measurement (71 mm.) and appearances the type is similai to Griininger's No. 12 (British Muvseuni Catalogue, pi. XI., 71A), but there are a few caps, from another fount. The woodcut also seems to be by one of the artist em- ployed by that printer. The first page in the present book is occupied by a full-size cut, 159 x 110 mm., verso blank; this leaf probably unrecorded. The subject is S. Ursula's boat (Navicula, Schifiiein), in which one sees the Saint, holding an arroAV, the Virgin and Child, Kin-g David, a pope, king, bishop, and other taints, the siteeirsonan a monk, probably the author of the tract; an hour glass behind him. In the centre of the boat is the Communion ta.ble. Above is the mast in the form of a crucifix, against the sail being angels with the emblems of the Passion. On left is an angel with lamp, on right, a priest making the elevafr'on, wifn a soul delivered from Purgatory- In foreground are persons picking up loaves and others embarking. The same cut is said by Schreiber to be in "Kistler's 1497 German ed. mentioned below, and no doubt it is on that account that the present edition is assigned to the same press. Cf. the single cuts described by Schreiber II. 1709-12, and reproduction of one in Huth, Cat. Engr. 1910, p. 9. " During the latter part of the Middle Ages there grew up a curious custom of found- ing- confraternities or guilds in Germany, and especially along the Rhine and in Swabda, for men and women, called ' The Skiffs of S. Ursula,' These skiffs existed under the direction of monks, generally Carthusians, who served as captain, mate, and pilot of the <=everal boats. The form of admission to the skiff was very simple. The candidate had to recite the Lord's Prayer and the Angelic Salutation thrice before a crucifix, kneeling, with outstretched arms; and every Friday he had to say MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. 71 Matthaeus, ord.

It is " quite a new departure to give portraits of the artists engaged on the work; occasionally but very seldom before this time the illustrators of books were mentioned (the earliest seem to be Eeuwich 1486 and Wolgemut 1493), but the name of the woodcutter occurs still less frequently and as to a portrait we do not remember another instance. Albert Meyer is represented in the present book as making designs of the plants 011 paper with a pen or brush while Fuellmaurer appears to be copying another drawing on to a woodblock. A small knife lies on the table, but this may be merely for mending pens and not for woodcutting, both the portraits of the woodcutter and the illus- trators are coloured."

But this was perhaps the only safe way to allude to the coming order of things.

Antwerp, Pierre Coeck d'Alost by Gilles van Diest, June, 1550. 10 10s The Prince Charles (Don Carlos), grandson of Charles V., whose entry into the City of Antwerp- was celebrated in a Latin, Flemish and French edition, was an unhappy and sthort lived prince " whose melancholy history and untimely death have been the subject of poetry and romance/' He was born in 1545 and died in 1568, and is said to have been poisoned by his father Philip II. There are 29 large woodcut illustrations by Pieter Coeck, including one of the famous giant of Antwerp who lived in remote times on the banks of the Scheldt, where the city now stands, and demanded of all traders who passed that way the toll of half their goods or as an alternative the sacrifice of one of their 'hands. This legend accounts for the appearance of the hands in the Antwerp arms. The statue, designed by Pieter Coeck, is probably still in existence. It was restored in 1863 and made its annual progress through the streets of Antwerp in the procession of the Kermesse. Pieter Coeck was born at Aelst in 1502, and married a second time about 1548, and had a daughter, who became the wife of Pieter Breughel. 404 GRATIUS (Ortuinus).

The popular tale pleased the Duo de Be^ry so much that he commissioned Jehan d'Arras to make a prose novel of it during the years 1387-1394. A few years later the Troubadour Couldrette composed a poem " Mellusigne " at the wish of Comte Jean de Partheuay. This verscon -was used by the Swiss author Thuring von Ringoltingen of Berne to make a translation in the year 1456 for the Markgraf Rudolf von Hoohberg. The printed editions of the Chapbook have used this translation which is more paraphrased than literally translated from the French original as Ringoltingen mentions in h: preface. The <=ftyle of R-ingoltingen's translation is very remarkable and it has been said by Schorbaoh in his monograph, " Die Historic von der schonen Melusine " that Ringoltingen is one of the best writers of German, and the German language owe> to him more than is generally known. His Melusine is one of the best German popular Chapbooks, which has received the applause of the German people to this very day. 439 JOACHIM (Abbas).

MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. 153 WITH THE EXCESSIVELY RARE MAP OF THE DISCOVERIES OF CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS IN AMERICA. 491 MARTYR (Peter), of Anghiera.

WITH THE EXTRAORDINARY RARE MAP OF I HE DISCOVERIES OF CHRIS- TOPHER COLUMBUS IN AMERICA. Folio, Spanish calf , with the arms of Caracena. Sevilla, Jacobus Crumberger, 1511. FIRST EDITION. Harrisse 66. (SEE ILLUSTRATION, PLATE No. XXXIV.}. 250 THE " NEWLY DISCOVERED WORLD " COVERS THE ENTIRE MAP, AND ON THE VERSO, AN EPISTLE ADDRESSED TO CARDINAL XlMENEZ AND AN EXTRA PAGE OF TEXT. ONLY A FEW COPIES CONTAIN THESE TWO ADDITIONAL LEAVES. The estimation in which Peter Martyr was held as an historian is shown by tihe fact that in a period of a hundred years his works were published in Spain, Italy, France and England. An Italian by birth, ne went :n 1487 to the Court of Ferdinand and Isabella. He served in their armies during two campaigns, was ordained a priest afterward, and bcame tutor to thedr children. He was at one time an Ambassador, and Later on a Privy Counsellor. Few men have had a wider range of occupation and experience. Soldier, schoolmaster, ambassador, statesman, priest, historian, and a gossiping man of letters, he touched humanity at nearly every point. He de- lighted in the society of great men and was on the most frank and intimate terms with them. To use an expression of his own, he fed with his learning the studious youth of Spain. He was the contemporary of Columbus and Yespicius, and was tihe first to publish a popular a-coount of the results of their voyages and of the pecu- liarities of the natives of the New World. This, the first of his historical writings, contains only the first decade, which was republished, together with the second and third at Alcala, in 1516. Its importance is equalled by its rarity. Harissee c:.tes but one copy ia U.S. of America. It is deserving, in every respect, of the regard of scholars and bibliophiles. As the colophon states, it was printed " with the greatest care." It contains the chart which is usually wanting, and wihiah is remarkably correct for the period. Nothing equal to it appeared for a long time after. 492 MATTHiOLUS. Goftimentaril. In libros sex. P.

They were wrongly ascribed to St. Methodius, Bishop of Patara, who died in the 4th century. It is considered that the more probable author was Methodius, Patriarch of Constantinople in 1240. The woodcuts illustrate the various events mentioned in the prophecies. On the title- page occurs a large woodcut of the author, in pr?-son, receiving the revelations from an, angel; other events illustrated include : Conflicts between Christians and Turks, Gog and Magog, Necromancers, Turks and Sara-cens, the Eecovery of Jerusalem, the' Seven-Headed and Ten-Horned Monster, the Taking of Constantinople by the Turks, etc., etc. MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. 155 4Q7 MEURSIUS (Joannes).

Sidney's " Astrophel and Stella " : " Melibe the onely planet of my light, World of my wealt/h, & heau'n of my delight, Chief good, where to my hope doth only aspire, Light of my life, and life of my desire." Etc. * At the commencement of the iirst part are a number of sonnets, one of them in English, commencing: " Sweet England DOW wel maist thou swel in pride. Since best wits think it fit for to adimire Whence duch man takes your natural attire. And words, no words but heavenly graces slid, The new Parnassus, where the Muses bid."

Ticknor in his History of Spanish Literature remarks : " Besides what the Spanish ballads possess different from the (popular poetry of the rest of Europe, they exhibit, as no others exhibit it, that nationality which is the truest element of such poetry everywhere. They seem, indeed, a-s we read them, to be often little more than the great traits of the old Spanish character brought out v by the force of ipoetical enthusiasm : so that, if their nationality were taken away from them, they would cease to exist. This, in its turn, has preserved them down to the present day, and will continue to preserve them hereafter." 564 ROMBERCH DE KYRSPE. Congestorium artificiose Memoriae. .

TITLE PRINTED IN RED AND BLACK, WITH 350 LARGE WOODCUTS OF VARIOUS SIZES, ONE ON EACH PAGE, SOME ARE MUCH LARGER THAN THE REST, NECESSITATING A LARGE PAPER WHICH HAS BEEN FOLDED. Oblong 4to, calf. Frankfurt, I. N. Stoltzenberger for V. Steinmeyers, 1519-1620. 21 "Preface to the art-loving and judicious reader, refers to the illustrations of the Petrarcvh as being by an artist whose name had been forgotten. This is the first mention of the Petrarch illustrator (Hans Weiditz) as a definite artist. There is also a memoir of Diirer, giving the date of his birth as 21 May, 1471, Tuesday, his father a Hungarian goldsmith and his mother Barbara Hellerin of Xiirnberg, apprenticed to Wolgemuth in 1486, etc. The blocks represent the stock of illustra- tions in the hands of the publisher Steinmeyer, the earliest of them (apart from a few odd ones from various sources) originating with Grimm and Wirsung of Ausburg r 1520, passing with others successively through the hands of H. Sterner of Augsburg and then Egenolff and Feyrabend, both of Frankfurt. The majority of the cuts, to* the number of 307, are by Hans Weiditz, the unknown, " Petrarch Master " referred to in the Preface. These cuts are full of interesting detail regarding the manners and customs of the period, but are too numerous to particularise. A few might be mentioned; System of memorising, Chess, backgammon and nine men's morris; lapidary's shop with machinery; others show painters, sculptors, metal workers; a library: a scriptorium; a necromancer; alchemists' laboratory; prisons; the trial of the three sons by shooting father's corpse with arrows, the incident refers to Solo- mon awarding a disputed estate to the son who refuses to shoot, man with diseased skin attended in public bath; dentist operating, his poster with the imperial arms; surgical operations; condemning and burning books. There are no specimens of Durer or Holbein in the volume, and the fact of tihem being mentioned on the page may be regarded as a publisher's dodge."

The author was born about 1420 at Paris and died in 1508." Although some people imagine that this book which bears the title of "Aresta Arnorum," is a legal work it is really a very amusing production whioh only adopts a legal form. The following are headings of some decrees (there are 52 in all). " A lover bears plaint against his lady saying that she kissed him so roughly that she made his nose bleed." " A young lady complains of her husband because he does not suffer her to wear hat and coat in the new fashion." " Law suit against a young damsel for having refused a kiss from a young man at a dance; she was summoned before the ecclesiastical court of love and how she was excommunicated as she did not appear and how she finished her days in sadness and was buried without consecrated ground/' " A decree forbidding all pastrymakers and cooks to put up their stalls nea,r churches in order that the smoke imay not prevent young men from seeing the lady they love." "A sentence given against a lover who gave his lady two smacks on her cheek because she put green grass down his back, and his punishment as a warning to all others who would like to do the same in a similar case/' 969 Moliere.

Sir Thomas Wotton was the son of Sir Edward Wotton, treasurer of Calais, who was nominated by Henry VIII. as one of his executors. Thomas Wotton was in December 1547 em ployed 'in conveying treasure to h:s father at Calais and in 1551, on the death of nis father, succeeded to his estates.

FINE COPY, tiny hole in last leaf mended. A BOOK THAT is TYPOGRAPHICALLY WELL WORTHY OF ITS ILLUSTRIOUS PRINTER. Justin was born at Nablus in Palestine in the 2nd century. Justin describes in the above book various systems of pagan philosophy and his relations to them. After- leaving the Stoics he went first to a Peripatetic, then to a Pythagorean and finally he became a Platonist, which he remained even after having become a convert to- Christianity. He was one of the earliest and ablest of Christian apologists though it seems that he retained his philosopher's cloak throughout his life and went a-bout discussing Religion with any that would stop to talk to him.

The Pope wished fco abolish the usage which rendered the ambassador's palaoe, with the adjacent premises, an asylum for malefactors, etc., inaccessible to the officers of Justice. Louis XIV,, in 1687 sent his ambassador Lavardfjn with orders to maintain his rights, and with an armed retinue of eight hundred men. The Pope persisted, and excommunicated La.vardin, who returned wathout effecting his object. It seems that th? enmity to Louis induced the Pope to favour the English in resist- ance to Jaimes II., and some one remarked that the peace of Europe would be pro- moted if James would become a Protestant and the Pope a Catholic." 1204 Cherus (Ranutius).

IT WAS ISSUED BY PHILIP MULART, THE PAPAL COMMISSARY IN ENGLAND AND IRELAND, AND GRANTED TO ALL BENEFACTORS CERTAIN SPECIFIED PRIVILEGES They might choose their own confessors who once in their lifetime could give theon absolution for any offences other than those reserved to the Apostolic See. They were not to be denied ecclesiastical burial as one of the confraternity. Certain vows, as those of special pilgrimages, m:gfht be commuted for other works of piety. On their death-beds the priest could graint them plenary remission of all sins, if they were confessed and contrite, and ordinary remission as often as required. The Ser- vice of Commendation of the Departed would be performed for them as if they had been professed members. At the end are the liturgical forms of absolution, botih in ordinary and special cases, and " in articulo mortis." OF THESE LETTERS PRINTED BY RlCHARD FAQUES, THERE ARE ISSUES DATED 1519 AND 1520.

HENCE THEY ARE COMPARATIVELY MORE RARE THAN EVEN THOSE OF QUEEN MARY'S TIME. In fact this book was still more obnoxious to the authorities than even the " Missale Patrvum " printed at tine same time. The " Idolatrous Ceremonies " which the disguised priests us-ed to perform with the help of this work, were the most dangerous and detested portions of their la.bour. 1392 Turrianus (F.).
