  • Manuscripts numbered 333 onwards were listed on a typed handlist maintained in the Library office.

PREFACE.

THE Manuscripts described in the following Catalogue have been added to the Codrington Library, in All Souls College, at various periods. At the time when Dr. Bernard compiled his laborious Cataloguea of MSS., as they then existed in the different libraries in England and Ireland, in All Souls College there were found only fifty volumes; since that period, however, their number has increased to a very considerable extent; and the reader will find in the following pages a description of nearly three hundred books, embracing more than three hundred and twenty volumes, in which is contained much of interest and of importance.

Amongst those that deserve more particular notice may be mentioned, as connected with Biblical criticism, the several booksb of the New Testament, with continual glosses, of the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, a curious volume containing a French translation of the New Testament, illustrated with short glosses interspersed, of the beginning of the fifteenth centuryc; commentaries on the Scriptures, by Hugo de S. Victored, Rabanus Maurus, Thomas Aquinas, and Hugo Viennensise, or de S. Caro; to which we may also add, the Registrum Epistolarum of Gregory the Great, the Liber Syrabolorum of John Capgrave, and a copy of the Scintillarium, by Defensorf.

Of Historical works the collection possesses the Ecclesiastical Histories of Eusebiusg, translated by Rufinus, of the twelfth century, and of Beda. The works of Isidore, Rupert and Amalariush, abridged by Malmsbury, de Ecclesiasticis Officiis, deserve also to be noticed.

It is however in the materials for the history of our own country, as well early as of a more recent period, that this library is more particularly remarkable. To this class belongs a very fine copy of the works of William of Malmsbury, De gestis regum et Pontificum Angliaej, written probably before the year 1200; a second copy of the De gestis regum; as also a MS. of the Historia Novellak , of the fourteenth century, by the same author; the histories of Hovedenl, of the twelfth, of Geoffrey of Monmouth, and of Matthew of Westminsterm, of the fourteenth centuries are also to be mentioned; to which we may add, a French translation of that part of Langtoft's Chroniclen relating to the border wars of the first Edward; the life of Henry the Fifth, by Elmham; and a valuable collection of Ecclesiastical Constitutions, by Cardinal Otto, Peckham and other archbishops of Canterburyo.

To the above-mentioned materials, very important additions were made at the close of the last century by the bequest of Luttrell Wynne, D.C.L., formerly fellow of All Souls, of more than one hundred volumes of Parliamentary Journals, State and other papers, the collections of Narcissus Luttrell, Esq. and Owen Wynne, D.C.L., secretary to Sir Leoline Jenkins, whilst Ambassador at the Hague and Cologne, and Secretary of State, in the reign of Charles the Second.

Of these the reader may be disappointed that he does not find a more precise and detailed account in the present Catalogue, but the Editor hopes that enough has been said for all general purposes, (especially since it is to be remembered that many of them are only drafts, the originals of which are now deposited in the State Paper Office,) whilst to describe each particular article would have far exceeded the limits allowed to the present compilation.

The Collection is also rich in works on Canon and Civil Lawp; containing copies of the Decretals of Boniface, the Digest of Justinian, with the Commentaries of Azzo, Accursius, Zabarella, and others.

Of Medical works, we have translations from Galen, Hippocrates, Isaacus Judæus, Avicenna and Serapion; as also a MS. of the Laurea Medicina of Gilbertus Anglicusq.

There are some other MSS. not belonging to either of the preceding classes, which still it would be an injustice to the Collection to pass over; the Works of Virgilr of the thirteenth, and the Tragedies of Seneca of the fifteenth centuries; a valuable volume of the poetical works of John Gowers; two histories of Venetian affairst, in Italian; a very interesting collection of relations by Venetian ambassadors; and the life of Dante by Boccaccio. To which may be added a curious volume by Humphrey Dyson, containing a list of books published in the time of Henry VIIIu. and succeeding reigns, with their prices attached; as also two other MSS. in which are the kalendar and rules of two London Companies, the Scholars namely of Cheapside, and the White Bakersx.

It remains but to say a few words on the present Catalogue. In its compilation, care has been taken to give, as nearly as may be, the date of the MS., to preserve the names of former possessors of particular volumes, and to supply to anonymous or pseudonymous treatises the name of the original writer. If the Editor has not always been successful in this part of his labour, the difficulty of which will be readily appreciated, he feels that the want of success cannot be attributed to any want of attention on his own part.

He has only to add his best thanks to the Rev. Lewis Sneyd, Warden, and the Fellows of All Souls College, to whose liberality the public are indebted for the present Work, for the uniform kindness and assistance afforded him whilst passing it through the press.
