The present MS. appears to assign the authorship of the roe to Richard of Hampole, in the following rubric (fol. 200 6):
Explicit quidam tractatus super Pater noster, secundum Ricardum Hampor qui obiit a.p, 1984 [7% 1348: cf. above, Dd. 1. 1, ὃ 21.

A quarto, on vellum, of 136 leaves, each page containing about 38 lines, neatly written in a hand of the x11th century. The initial letters are slightly ornamented in colours. Marginal notes and interlineations by various hands abound throughout. About sixteen leaves are wanting at the end.

This MS. is mentioned at the end of Valpy’s Variorum Edition, but it
does not appear whether it has been collated.
Ll. 1. 10.
A quarto, 153 leaves vellum and parchment, dates various.

Tue Boox or CERNE.
The body of the book (No. I.) is the relic of some local saint, which was afterwards preserved in the Abbey of Cerne in Dorsetshire ; the other por- tions (Nos. II. and III.) were put with it long afterwards. One Ethelwald was Bp of Sherborne in the vmith century; and St Edwold (not a Bp) was the traditional founder of the Abbey in the xth.
I. 99 leaves, from 18 to 20 lines in a page, handwriting Anglo-Saxon of the viith or rxth century, with erasures and corrections of the x11th, and sidenotes of the x1vth.
Liser Erneitwatpt Eptscoprr.
This consists of four parts, of which Part 1 (ff. 1—41, sign. a—e) con- tains the ‘ Passio (et Resurrectio) Domini’ from the four Gospels, followed by a long prayer headed ‘Alma Oratio.’ The text is very close to that of . the Cod, Amiat., and each Passio has a frontispiece and illuminated heading. F. 1 is lost, but f 2a (2b is the frontispiece to St Matthew) contains the conclusion of some directions concerning prayer, in Anglo-Saxon, in the original handwriting. F. 21a (21 ὃ is the frontispiece to St Luke) con- tains a Latin acrostic giving the words AEDELVALD EPISCOPVS.
6 CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS.
Part 2, ff. 42—51, sign. f: 14 morning hymns and prayers, of which No. 4, headed ‘ Hanc luricam loding cantavit ter in omne die,’ is the lorica of Ladkenus or Lathacan Scotigena, which so troubled Mone and Daniel ; but this copy supplies an interlinear and contemporary A.S. gloss for all the hard words, besides a xuth century gloss (also A.S.) for the greater part of the poem.
Part 3, ff. 52—83, sign g—k. 55 prayers, some rhythmical, for the most part unprinted. No. 17 is the ‘Sancte Sator Suffragator,’ and Nos: 33 and 44 dre prayers by Alchfrith the anchorite.
Part 4, ff. 84—99; sign. 7, m. Nos. 1—5 are hymns, unprinted, except No. 1, the ‘Ymnum dicat turba fratrum’ of the Antiph. Benchor., here headed ‘ Ymnum super euang. xpi et oratio sci hieronimi et paulini.’ No. 6 is a Versicularius or Versorius, headed ‘ Hoc argumentum forsorii oeselwald episcopus decerpsit.’ No. 7 might be part of a Descensus ad inferos, but it does not appear in any printed edition of the Evangelium Nicodemi. It con- tains an ‘oratio innumerabilis Scorum populi in inferno,’ with a dialogue between Christ and Adam and Eve. The last words on f. 996 close a sen- tence, but possibly a quire or more of the original volume is here wanting.
II. 26 leaves, handwriting various, from early x1ith to late xivth century. ‘They are inserted at the beginning of the volume, and are copies of from 40 to 50 Documents, relating chiefly to privileges granted to the Benedictine Abbey of Cerne, and are described in Hutchins’s Dorsetshire, 11. 287 sq.
III. 28 leaves, in a church handwriting, of the early part of the xvth century. They are inserted at the end of the volume.
SEQUENTIARiUS (SINE NOTA) sECUNDUM UsuM EccLEsIa CEeRNENSIS.
There are 76 sequences, or rhythms, to be sung immediately before the gospel, differing very much from those in the ordinary English missals- Those on the last four leaves are an Appendix, De beata Maria, in a care- less handwriting of the xvith century.
The Latin rhythms in this volume, together with a fuller account of all the contents, are in course of publication by Mr Bradshaw, some time Assist- ant in the Library.

This MS. coincides in the minutest details with a Pontifical of the same date (but complete) in the library of Trinity College, B. xr. 10, except that it omits the Consecratio Regis which the Trin. Coll. MS. contains.
From the above group of saints, especially as 5, Adeldrytha’s name is in large letters, it seems reasonable to suppose that this pontifical belonged to the Church of Ely, which is dedicated to S. Adeldrytha (or, as it is usually, 8. Etheldreda) and 5. Peter, while SS. Sexburga and Wihtburga were her sisters, and Ermenhilda closely connected with her—they are represented together, discussing the removal of 8. Etheldreda’s body, in one of the sculp- tures in Ely Cathedral.

The titles and initial letters are rubricated. It is written in several hands. On a smaller leaf, otherwise blank, inserted between 63 and 64 is written in an old hand but much more recent than the book, ‘ This book conteign- eth 69 leves wherof 9 or more are lost.’ It contains the first portion of the CarruLary or THE Priory or St Grecory at CANTERBURY.
