 LIST OF MANUSCRIPTS 
 
 8. PSALTERIUM, Graece. Sm. 410, on vellum. About

 LATIN MANUSCRIPTS. 
 
 10. LEGAL INSTRUMENT OF DONATION FROM JOHAN- 
 NES, the Primicerius, or Captain of a company of soldiers, 
 to the Church of Ravenna. 
 
 Written on papyrus, 5 ft. 4 in. long by n in. broad. Imperfect at be- 
 ginning, and undated; but written probably about A.D. 580 600, 
 at Ravenna. 
 
 The last portion contained the exact terms of donation, but as the in- 
 strument is referred to by the donor just before making his cross for 
 signature, and by each of the witnesses, it is plain that it was 
 meant to be the " irrevocabilem donationis niece usufructuariie 
 paginam sex unciarum principalium in Integra totitis substantite 
 mece ". The language is a very corrupt style of Latin ; the hand- 
 writing cursive Roman. 
 
 One of the most curious features of this document (palaeographically 
 speaking) is the subscription by one of the witnesses, a Greek, 
 Marines Chrysokatalaktis, who has written his testimony in Latin 
 but in Greek characters (excepting that he uses the Latin n 
 for the Greek v occasionally, and the Latin u for the Greek /8 
 sometimes). It is a contribution to our knowledge of old Latin 
 pronunciation, for we find that he writes ovtm (that is, week, not 
 wyke) for the Latin hnic, and that he writes Queer for fecit, in 
 which latter word the irregularity of his vowels does not invalidate 
 the proof that the letter c was still pronounced k (not s, nor ch) at 
 the end of the sixth century after Christ. 
 
 11. BENEDICTIO CEREI. Roll, on vellum, 5 ft. ii| in. 
 long by 8 in. broad. Saec. IX. 
 
 The blessing of the Paschal candle, a rite beginning with " Exultet," 
 by which word this class of manuscript is frequently called. *The 
 illuminations represent the Passion and Resurrection, and the 
 music in neumes accompany the text.

 13. HOMILIES on the Gospels appointed for the several 
 Saints' days of the year. Small folio, on vellum. About 
 750-800.

 14. EVANGELIA IV., Latine, cum Praefatione Beati 
 Hieronymi. Small Fol., on vellum. About 850.

 characters, uncial, rustic, capital, etc. The numerical figures are 
 according to the Roman system. Initials in gold.

 Cardinal Pompeo Colonna, 1510-17. 
 
 The tradition handed down by the family was that the large full-page 
 illuminations were executed by Raphael, about the year 1517, when 
 the owner was made a cardinal, and there is no doubt that, if 
 not actually by his hand, the work was done by his followers under 
 his supervision. 
 
 In all probability we may say that the large miniatures are painted 
 by Timoteo Viti, and the illuminations and arabesques by Litti di 
 Filippo de' Corbizi.

 80. PETRARCA. Rime. Can^oni distese del chiarissimo 
 Poeta Dante Allighieri di Firenze. Folio, on vellum. 
 Saec. XIV. 
 
 One of the most important manuscripts of the two poets, written 
 during the life-time of Petrarch, or immediately after his death, 
 tor Lorenzo, the son of Carlo degli Strozzi (a member of one of the 
 noblest families of Florence), by Paul the Scribe, as appears by the 
 colophon. With large initial letters, and three illuminated borders, 
 containing portraits of the poets and their inamoratas, executed in

 The first page is painted with an allegorical representation of the world, 
 and the means of escape from its perils and follies. A space 
 enclosed within a wall is supposed to represent the world, and 
 here are men and women engaged in its occupations and vanities- 
 In the centre is a painter at his easel, a company of people dance 
 to a tabret and pipe, etc., but one man is seen apparently paying toll 
 to St. Peter. Just outside the gate a woman dons a religious 
 habit, which is handed to her by an angel. A flight of steps leads 
 to the gate of heaven, where a nun is being received by a heavenly 
 spirit. A richly-illuminated border surrounds the whole page, the 
 Heavenly Father in the act of blessing being represented at the top. 
 
 The binding of this volume is remarkable as an example of the style 
 known as "cuir bouilli".
