'^^ THE WESTERN MANUSCRIPTS IN THE LIBRARY OF EMMANUEL COLLEGE A DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE BY MONTAGUE RHODES JAMES, Litt.D., F.BA.

PAGE Preface vii Tables ix List of Owners of Manuscripts xi List of Donors of Manuscripts xii List of Manuscripts now missing xiii Corrigenda xv Descriptive Catalogue of Manuscripts i Appendix 169 Index 171 PREFACE. THERE seem to be only two printed catalogues of the collection of manuscripts at Emmanuel College. The first is to be found in Thomas James's Ecloga Oxonio-Cantabrigiensis (London, 1600: p. 136). This enumerates nine volumes. The second is in Xh&Catalogimannscriptontni Ang/iaeof i6gy,a.nd contains 137 articles, the first nine being those catalogued by Thomas James: nineteen others (nos. 49-67), in oriental languages, are not included in the present volume. This list was furnished to the Editors of the Oxford Catalogi by Joshua Barnes, and the last six items were gifts of his own to the College : to these he subsequently added many more, the bulk of them being works of his own composition. In H. Schenkl's BibliotJieca Patruni Latinorum Britannica (1901), II. 2 (nos. 2883-2914), is some account of the patristic manuscripts. The collection is of very considerable interest. In Greek books it is unusually strong: the copy of the Pauline Epistles (no. iio), the Hippiatrica (no. 251), the Psalter (no. 253), and the Herodotus (no. 30) are all of a certain celebrity, and some of the fragments in no. 236 merit attention. There is some excellent illuminated work in the Moralia of Gregory (no. 112), in a Bible (no. 116), and in nos. 106 and 252. Among the later texts, the volume of documents on the Council of Basel (no. 142) ought probably to be carefully examined by a specialist : the legend of St Aldate in no. 27 is at least a rare piece, viii PREFACE. and some of the poems in no. io6 are probably interesting. The Letters of the Martyrs in nos. 260-262 are perhaps sufficiently well-known. The principal benefactors have been Thomas Leigh, B.D. (cir. 1667), who gave twenty volumes, Archbishop Bancroft, and Joshua Barnes. I do not know whether I ought to add William Bennett, Bishop of Cloyne, to the list : his gifts were numerous, but the greater part of them are notes of his own lectures. A fair number of the manuscripts are interesting in respect of provenance. Barlings Abbey, Caen, Chichester, Faversham, Holmcultram, Kirkham, Norwich, Pershore, Selby, and Sheen all contribute. The volume from Caen (no. 29) is interesting as showing what I venture to call the Lanfrancian script, which took such firm root at Christ Church, Canterbury. Most of the Chichester books have good specimens of the cathedral press-mark. A good many volumes noted in older catalogues (printed and manuscript) are not now to be found. A list of these is appended to this Preface along with the usual tables of corresponding numbers, and lists of donors and provenances. In conclusion I must express the hope that I may have succeeded in justifying the confidence of the College, who have permitted me to contribute what I could to the elucidation of their ancestral possessions. I hope, too, that my work may help to clear a path for the researcher of the future; if it conduces, indirectly, alike to the preservation of good old books and to the production of good new ones, it will fulfil all the expectations I have formed for it.

The ornament, which is in the form of borders and initials at the beginnings of the books, is very elaborate. The border (three sides) on f. i is partly on a gold ground, partly on blue and partly on white. It consists of a mixture of conventional and natural flowers, including roses and blue columbines. The other borders are of the same description. The style betrays, I think, a foreign, probably Flemish, artist. The following badges and mottos occur. 1. ^. I and elsewhere a lion's head erased arg. langued gules. 2. On f. 2. Motto. Virtuft parent omnia, also subsequently. At the beginning of Lib. ii and in most of the subsequent borders a cannon argent. At beginning of Lib. iii f. 31. Motto. Mais pour le fn(i)ettlx. Lib. iv has no border. Giraldus Dist. i f. 87. Initials J. G. , and shield, party per pale. Dexter: quarterly. 1 and 4, arg. a chevron gules between three suns sable (probably argent turned black). 2 and 3, gules a chevron sable between three lions' heads erased arg. Sinister. Within a bordure sa. engrailed : gules a bend dexter arg. bearing three leopards' heads or on azure, between two lions' heads erased arg. The shield occurs only here. The other devices are repeated. I believe them to be the arms, badges and initials of John Gunthorpe, Dean of Wells, a prominent book collector, who died in 1498. He built a portion of the Deanery at Wells and employed stone cannon (guns) in the decoration of the building, as a rebus on his name. I. I. 4 C. M. A. 15 4. Astronomical Tables.

At the top corner of the first page is 1602 written small. This may quite well be the date of the book. I find no name. Perhaps the greater part of the Tables are called Tabulae Prosthapherisis. 3-8] EMMANUEL COLLEGE LIBRARY. 5 I. I. 5, 6, 7 C. M. A. 27 5, 6, 7. BiBLiA Hebraica. Vellum, 15x91, three volumes, double columns of 28 lines. Cent, xii, xiii, finely written. In the 2nd cover of vol. i is this notice : This very fine MSS. (so) of the Hebrew Bible was given to Emmanuel College Library by Dr William Bedell, Bp of Kilmore in Ireland, who had been educated in the College and had been many years Fellow of it. He took his degree of B.D. in the year i 599. Soon after this he was sent to Venice in quality of Chaplain to the English Ambassador (S'' Henry Wotton) at the time of the Interdict. During a stay of | years in this place, amongst many other improvements, he applied himself very closely to the study of the Hebrew, in which he made a great progress by the assistance of R. Leo the Chief Chaiham of the Synagogue there. It was by means of the Rabbi that he purchased this MSS. which is said to have cost him its weight in silver. It was very near being lost in the year 1641 when he was sent to Prison (where he soon after died) and his palace at Kilmore and all his papers and goods were seized by the Irish Rebels. But a grateful Irishman whom the Bp had sometime before converted from Popery went among his countrymen and brought out this MSS. and a few other books to him. See the Bp's Life by Dr Burnet. There is a fine illuminated title on a separate pair of leaves, prefixed to the first volume. It is certainly not by the hand which has executed other decorative work in the bod}- of the book, and to my eye the colouring at least suggests a Western — I might almost say an English — hand. I.

Cent, xi, xii, in a fine large hand. Given by Dr Samuel Parr. On the flyleaf is this note : This MS. formerly belonged to the learned Adam Askew, M.D., and after his death came into the possession of his eldest son Adam Askew, by whom it was given to me in the year 1790, in testimony of his regard for me as his Schoolmaster at Stanmore, Middlesex, and as the intimate Friend of his deceased Father. With sincere and great pleasure I present it to the Library of Emmanuel College, as a mark of my respect for the Master and Fellows of the Society in which I had the honour to be educated; and the Manuscript, I suppose, will be the more acceptable to them, as having once been the property of Dr Askew, and his Son, who were Members of the same College, and who, like myself, took a lively interest in its Prosperity and its Fame.

The tract is on the ceremonies ordained by divers popes, their rela- tions with England, and their transgressions. It begins imperfectly: Pope Sixtus (viz. 2"^"*) ordeyned that masse schuld be sungyn on awters which was not doon bifore. After f. 7 a leaf is gone. On ff. 9, 10 is the story of Pope Joan.

Expliciunt b. gregorii moralia triginta quinque libris consummata. The decoration of the volume is of the first class. The beginning of each book has had a partial border and historiated initial ; though many of these have been cut out. The borders are solid bands of pink and blue with cross-bands of gold : at intervals they spread into broader fields of various shapes, and are always decorated with oak-leaves, principally in pink and green. Birds and sometimes figures are perched on the ends. The grounds of the pictured initials are uniformly of gold with punctured patterns. The draperies of the figures are in subdued colours, grey, pink, green, blue, heightened copiously with white. The drawing admirable throughout. Altogether a most notable example of English art. It is not doubtful, from the presence of Benedictine monks in initials and borders, that the book was written at or for a Benedictine monastery. As others of Cudworth's MSS.^ came from Norwich, I conjecture that this is a Norwich book. It might be usefully compared with the Ormesby Psalter in the Bodleian. I. f. I. Full border. On A', two birds, grey with black-ended wings, very humorously drawn. Initial to Prologue. A king, attended by a clerk, faces an Arch- bishop and several Bishops on R. This is king " Chyndesuidus" at the Council of Toledo admonishing the Bishops to get a copy of the Moralia. 1 Viz. nos. 91, 142. l] EMMANUEL COLLEGE LIBRARY. 99 2. Initial to dedication.

II. f. 7. Christ with crossed nimbus and raised hands seated on L. On R. a crowd of kneeling figures, the foremost a monk in dark habit : the devil blue and bearded crouches on R. and pulls his robe. This represents the sons of God assembled and Satan among them. f. 12 etc. decorative initials: leaf with beginning of Lib. iii. gone after f. 13. 4. Lib. IV. Gregory seated on Z. speaking. A black monk on R. holds open book. 5. Lib. V. Abraham (represented like Christ with cross-nimbus) seated on cloud. The soul of Lazarus nimbed stands in his lap. He has scroll : Memento fili quia recepisti bona in uita tua, lazar{us) (Luke xvi. 25). Below on R. hell-mouth. Dives in a caldron within it. The passage is quoted in the text. 6. Lib. VI. Border left, but initial cut out. Lib. vii. First leaf gone. 7. Lib. Vill. A group of six knights in mail, beautifully drawn. They have pink and green surcoats, and bearings, probably imaginary, on their shields : e.g. one on R. has azure a chevron arg. surmounted by a cross, on chief parts of another chevron, on base a cross arg. suggesting another chevron. The text deals with the passage Super pupillum irruitis etc. (Job vi. 27). 8. Lib. IX. Devils falling into hell-mouth: a cloud above. Cf. Job iv. 18 in angelis suis reperit prauitatem. Lib. X.

Job xvi. 11 per- cusserunt maxillam meam etc. 11. Lib. XIV. Job barefoot in white robe kneels on R. and looks back to L. where the devil with a birch rod is about to smite him. The devil is blue, hoofed, hook-nosed and bearded. Above in a cloud the Divine Hand. Job has a scroll: Dominus dedit dominus abstulit sit nomen domini benedictum (Job i. 21). Goldfinch in border. 12. Lib. XV. In border on L. a large figure of Gregory in tiara, chasuble, pall, dalmatic and alb, holding scroll, and pointing to R. On his scroll is: Ducunt in bonis dies suos d in puncto ad inferna descendunt. In the initial to which he points are two men seated conversing. The one on L. has a purse, the other wears gloves and appears to have a purse attached to his wrist. Below, the same two men plunge into hell-mouth. 13. Lib. XVI. Hezekiah, crowned, in bed. Over him stands Isaiah with scroll (rubbed): Dispone domui tue [quia morieris et non) nines (Is. xxxviii. i). Lib. XVII., XVIII. First leaves gone. 14. Lib. XIX.

The prominence given to SS. Erkenwald and Ethelburga would without this have induced me to call the kalendar a London one. A series of pictures, two on a page, in frames worked with green. The backgrounds are plain, and there is hardly any gold ; the principal colours are red and green : the latter has corroded the vellum in some cases.

The detached leaf, which should follow f. 17, was restored to the College in April 1895 (through the agency of Mr F. Jenkinson, University Librarian) by the late George Washington Moon, who had purchased it with other fragments. A title of cent, xvii which has been scribbled on it shows that it must have been separated from the volume for over two hundred years. The remaining complete sheet of quire 3 must have been the second in order i.e. consisting of the 2nd and 7th leaves out of the 8. The titles, numbers and initials are in red. The letters rest on lines ruled with a dry point. This MS. has enjoyed a certain celebrity. A facsimile of a few lines is in Astle's Progi'ess of the art of ivriting {^\. 6): in the text (p. 75) he assigns it to cent. x. It is no. 294 in Holmes and Parsons' Septuagint. Lagarde calls it Codex P of the Psalms in his Genesis graece and in Specimen etc. N*^*. Facsimiles of two pages are given in Camb. Ant. Soc. Proc., Vol. VIII. (1892-3), p. 168 ff in a paper by the present writer, from which the following paragraphs may be reproduced here. The interest of the book, briefly stated, lies in this : that it is at 22] EMMANUEL COLLEGE LIBRARY. 1 55 least as old as the twelfth century ; that it was certainly not written by a Greek (or in Greece) ; and that it was probably written in England. Several points lead me to the belief in its non-Greek origin : first, the vellum, which is to my mind just like the vellum of Western MSS. and not like that of Greek MSS.; next, the writing, of which more anon ; thirdly, certain glosses which I find in it ; and fourthly, the signatures of the quires. The writing is a principal point, naturally. The two pages, facsimiles of which accompany this paper (figs, i, 2), amply suffice to show the remarkable aspect and character of the MS. They are taken from the two ends of the book ; for, as has been already remarked, the writing, after f 17, becomes larger and coarser than in the earlier leaves. The impression which one gathers at the first glance is that the scribe has been influenced by Russian or Slavonic writing ; but a closer examination shows that what he has been doing is to copy painfully and exactly, letter by letter, from a manuscript written in early minuscules. The slow and laborious character of the work becomes more and more apparent as we look further into the MS.: and the conviction speedily arises that no Greek could possibly have written such a hand as this. It will not be necessary to go into details about the script. I will, however, just specify that certain compendia scripturac occur in the MS. : namely, the ordinary contractions of these words and letters : /cat, Se, ap, ei, ev, 09, ov, acr, vv, ■xjra, y^i. All of these are formed with the elaborate and painful care that characterizes the rest of the writing. Next let us speak of the glosses and signatures. Three signatures survive ; xi, xii, xxi : and they are all in Roman figures which I attribute to the twelfth century, and in ink not distin- guishable from that of the text. I conclude that they are original, and I ask if, in that case, their occurrence is compatible with the supposition of a Greek origin for the MS. As for the glosses ; there are only a few of them, but they are in two hands, one of the twelfth, the other of the fifteenth century. The first hand is not much later than the text ; it has added a few explanations of words and contractions. • i- gliitinare Ixxii. 28. rrpoGKoKKaaQe 156 CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS.
