    of considerable size—about five spans high or long, written in large letters and fairly old. It is a Chronicon Anglicanum, of which I could find no author nor, as can readily be imagined, a title. On the cover was written in pencil (“ Reissbley ”) “ Thomas Elmham.” [He doubts whether this were an author’s or owner’s name, but recognizes that the book is a chronicle of St Augustine’s Abbey.] Besides this I found the following MSS. which I thought worth noting: Cod. membr. in 4, two fingers thick...Ambrosius de virginitate : ser- monem Isidori Ep [I do not give the titles he quotes at length.] Item in fol. Cod. Chart, recentissimus Joh. Corbelli [Cowel] J. D. C. et in Acad. Cant. Profess. Institutiones Juris Anglican! ad methodum et seriem Institutionum imperialium [not described here]. [He then quotes an inscription in the book.] Item Vol. in fol. membr. Victorinus de Juribus Angliae, codex erat recentior: a thumb thick. Item Vol. in 4 membr. 3 fingers thick containing i Steph. Langeton Archiep. Cant...in prophetas etc. Further I saw a Vol. in fol. Chart. Ymago mundi per Vincentium... Item Cod. membr. in fol. Rad. Flav. super Feviticum. Vol. in 4 membr. Sulp. Severi vita S. Martini etc. Item Cod. memb. in 4, two fingers thick. Fiturgia D. Jacobi Apostoli caret initio, prefixed is the note: S. Jacobi Apostoli nomine apud graecos in usu Fiturgia est quam ut veram germanamque illius scripturam Proculus CPol. agnoLiit et Synodus oecumenica sexta. Petrus Galesimus [Galesinius] in suo Martyrol. fol. 98 parte secunda. More correctly below is written : Non est haec divi Jacobi Fiturgia cuius meminit Galesinius sed collectio Lectionum quae in Fed. oriental! festis diebus etiamnunc leguntur e Prophetis Proverbiis et Sapientia Salomonis sumta. This Codex however is ex dono Richard! [Robert!] Hare 1605 from whom many other MSS. also came. [This Greek Fectionary is apparently no longer to be found.] Item Cod. in 4 membr. cujus initium. Inc. Prologus in librum contra duodecim errores etc. Item Cod. in 4 Chart. Electa de Epp. P. Blesensis. Item Vol. in fol. membr. Joseph! historiarum etc. Item Vol. in fol. membr.
