    . ■ € liturgical {continued) :— Missale Halberstattense {continued):— the Canon of the Mass ; this leaf is, however, supplied in admirable facsimile, and is beauti- fully coloured by hand in exact imitation of the original colouring in the copy preserved in the British Museum, which copy is, however, imperfect in other respects and in poor condition, whereas the present copy is throughout in the most perfect preservation, nearly every leaf being as clean as when first taken from the press, with the old markers complete. The binding also, which is original, is in splendid order with the brass clasps and blind tooling on the sides. The book is a fine example of typography, and, though no place of printing is given, it was most probably from the rare press of Lucas Brandis of Lubeck. Bound up at the end of the volume is a piece, consisting of 6 11., entitled, ‘ ‘ Promptuarium in offitia Missarum tarn de tempore quam de sanctis, secundum ritum ecclesie Verdensis. Luneborck, apud Joannem Heyst, bibliopolam.'' [1510.] It is printed in two columns of 61 lines, the last leaf being a blank. Of this very rare “ Promptuarium ” for the use of Verden in Hanover, the existence of only one copy is mentioned by Mr. Weale in his “ Bibliographia Liturgica, namely, the one which is preserved at Lueneburg, in the Stadtbibliothek. 2838 MlSSAIiE AD usuM ECCLESIE Sarisburiensis. 1555.
