Lord AMHERST OF HACKNEY AT DIDLINGTON HALL, NORFOLK COMPILED BY SEYMOUR DE RICCI CAMBRIDGE PRINTED AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS 1906 For private circulation 1A <0 ^ 4 INTRODUCTION. THE present brief hand-list has been published under circum- stances some of which may need a few words of explanation. I had begun last year to draw up a very minute description of some of the bibliographical treasures of the Didlington Hall library, Lord Amherst of Hackney having the intention to even- tually publish a large Catalogue raisonne' of his collection, on a very elaborate scale. Sad circumstances, already well known to the British public, have compelled the owner of this library to issue a catalogue at a few weeks' notice, and to reduce the proposed publication to the proportions of a mere hand-list. The detailed descriptions of several hundred books had how- ever already been drawn up, in a manuscript now in the hands of Mr Quaritch, from whom specialists may obtain fuller information on a great many of the volumes described below. It has been my object, in the present hand-list, to give sufficient descriptions of the volumes to enable them to be easily identified by any librarian. Most of the superior bindings have been noticed and all important shortcomings or deficiencies of the copies under description have been carefully recorded. I trust that the errors which have escaped my attention will meet with the indulgence of the bibliographical public. SEYMOUR DE RICCI. Part's, 36 avenue Henri Martin, November 1906. 809823 BLOCK-BOOKS. 1. Holland? 1455? Apocalypsis S. Johannis {fourth edition of Sotheby, second of Heinecken). A very fine coloured copy from the Earl of Crawford's collection, quite perfect in 48 leaves, bound with nos. 47, 58 and 59, and some ms. matter, in the original monastic binding, about 1475. The exceptional preservation of this copy is due to its early insertion in this volume. 2. Five leaves, two of them being partly coloured (possibly at a more recent date), of Sotheby's third (Hein- ecken's fifth) edition of the xylographic Apocalypse. Very clean impressions but without margins. The leaves are 14, 15, 18, 19, 20 of a complete copy. They are probably from the same copy as the eleven leaves presented by Uffenbach to the Francfort library in the xvnith century and are apparently the five leaves bought by Griffiths (of Wadham College, Oxford) at B. Delessert's sale in 1852. Of this edition only two perfect and six imperfect copies or fragments are known. 3. Holland ? 1455 ? Biblia pauperum. A single leaf, of the same edition as the Sykes and second Spencer copies. From the Bateman collection. ©ptafomatprpfnuirt] anDirrr^tpfr m auoirmi! jrfcaiplufqipfcautatiol pfrwauDiiriffrnfaiiDHi niaan&iaaauoiat^airfct tfcMrfiua raa tpt pfrati r ruauoiam^auoiattsaHd auoirtsaiiDirft-fprrnim; Prctrmopffanlauoiiirt auomfriitfatiDiiircitiDal rfo nlauDitufff inmitnCTra nfauDnuffrnsau^uyfi't flubnifnt.^ftniauDium : fm;fo n?o fmr nine i pfon n»airr5tcntopfefr-3ur< ire nrt nuDmiu rftr a^alio 1 mrptcatofpfnjanbicuafi Kjjtrritoulurpjptcoauoin, irogafamototurprrmini nmrprijft-iiriftjjtcdtorpfc plurcfjpfco ut auDuil r act t mctiuoiimtDtprpfnitiruti ret ptcrito pfto ru audita Ui ru auDitu rffctiici tunTa hi ftmra mo fine ruus * pftmj No. 5 recto jpfftioutaufiifafufmut eauDifapfr^aumtum* if-10retcrito inpf ca au&i^ aiuD!£baf«4*&ati&itfja* 9rctmto jjfca auUif Cunt pfrauDirifum^uclfutoT urtc*lE>rf tccito pluCcT?eto amis teat utt fitt rat^fc trio mlmrratisrratuf tut au&iftfautmfapftaimi* : 0momc.f]frutiaDfJtiani •.ftpt'rmiDiaitmrauDinli iixitorilli-^aftauiimrim!: ©r^dtoytcatpluCq-attt^ fuiCfm^ rartiQ »rt f uiffrtifi imrauHianoufaumarca^ &iamranoiaT£owdmmff io hri atiDiarc auOtat- spft rinf-TPrctcrito fpfto tu au! timtff ~*Pf> mm aitfetrnt to jjftc FJfiM&u 9 dm urt fur pBriu a atmi fim? urf turn .

At the end is a prayer in the autograph of Sir Thomas Pope, the founder of Trinity College, Oxford, and the privy councillor of Queen Mary (1507- 1559). Old russia, a. 7 LITURGIES 99 MS. 13. Graduale in Latin for the use of a Dominican monastery (ms. on vellum, about a.d. 1200, 312 ff.). A very large folio volume in its old monastic binding with metal bosses, written throughout with the music ; it contains upwards of seventy very large illuminated initials, some occupying the whole height of the page and used by the illuminator as a framework for elaborate miniatures painted on a gold background. Belonged as early as 1251 to a German monastery. An important monument of early German painting. MS. 14. Pontificale Joannis II, Archiepiscopi Trevi- rensis et Marchionis Badensis (ms. on vellum, written in 1457 or shortly after). With numerous painted initials, armorial bearings and borders. A valuable palaeographical document for the history of printing, the writing being identical with the earliest large Missal type used in books from the presses of Gutenberg and Fust-Schoiffer, the musical portions closely resembling those contained in the 1457 Psalter.

Mariae secundum usum Sarum, with several Yorkshire commemorations (ms. on vellum, about 1471). On the first page is the signature Lutnley (about 1590) of John Lord Lumley, whose direct ancestor, the Yorkist, Sir Thomas Lumley, married Elizabeth Plantagenet, daughter of King Edward IV. The ms., which contains 1 1 very beautiful small miniatures and many illuminated borders, was apparently executed at Bruges about 1471 in Colard Mansion's shop either for King Edward IV, or for Caxton's patron, Lord Arundel, whose mss. belonged later to Lord Lumley. Caxton was probably then at Bruges working with Colard Mansion. The handwriting closely resembles Colard Mansion's and Caxton's types. From T. W. Bramston's collection. (Cf. the facsimile.) N.B. Several Caxtons are known to exist with the same signature Lumley, which also occurs in the Pepysian ms. of Ovid, supposed to be in Caxton's autograph. They may therefore be considered as presentation copies from the printer. MS. 20. Passional in English. Deuout Prayers of the Passyon of God (ms. on vellum, about 1440).

HISTORY OF THE REFORMATION AND OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. As for the English Bibles and the liturgical books, it has seemed desirable to describe the " Reformation series " in chronological order. It may be observed that the books described hereafter would not all doubtless be classed under this heading by a bibliographer with purely scientific pre- tensions. A punctilious person might object to find together commentaries on the Scriptures and Roman Catholic or Protestant controversial tracts on liturgical questions. A few pamphlets also might equally have been classed in the historical section. I hope however that this unpretentious handlist will be found more handy and serviceable if I bring together the books that the collector brought himself to- gether on his shelves with one and the same purpose. It may also be observed that several of the theological mss. were written long before the Reformation. Cf. also supra nos. 154, 156, 165 and 167. MS. 22. Speculum humanae salvationis (ms. on vellum, about 1400, 71 ff.). The scribe had intended to paint a miniature on each page but has in most cases not proceeded beyond a lead pencil sketch, sometimes gone over with pen and ink. This ms. is a curious document of the technique used by illuminators. Of the numerous historical events recorded in the paschal table, the most recent is the death of Simon Sudbury, Archbishop of Canterbury (a.d. 1381). Original binding (oak boards and white leather). THEOLOGY I 33 MS. 23. Latin prayers and English poems, including The Debate of the Body and the Soul (ms. on vellum, i 3 86). Several of these texts appear to be unpublished. The ms. was written by John Northewodde at the Monastery of Our Lady of Bordesley near Birmingham. Original binding. From the Thomas Shadford Walker collection. MS. 24. English sermons (ms. on paper, late xivth century). The first leaves are very defective. Phillipps' ms. 11071. MS. 25. This tretis compiled of a pore caitif & redi of goosth help of alle christen peple... (ms. on vellum, early xvth century, 97 ff.). An interesting English manuscript in the original brown calf binding. MS. 26. Thomas Occleve, De regimine principum in English verse (ms. on paper and vellum, early xvth century, 80 ft). The ms. is on paper, but the exterior double leaf of each gathering is on vellum. From the Constable collection. MS. 27. Bishop Reginald Pecock, An abbreviation of his Donet of Christen Religion, in English, followed by the gaderid Councels of Seint Ysid(o)re (ms. on vellum, about 1440, 89 ft).
