PREFATORY NOTE. 
 
 AS is the case with several other colleges, Trinity Hall has 
 -iA. suffered the loss of nearly the whole of its ancient library. 
 Of the books bequeathed to it by its founder, Bishop Bateman, two 
 at most survive. A list of the bishop's gifts is preserved and has 
 been printed in the Proceedings of the Cambridge Antiquarian 
 Society (II. 73; 1864): its character is certainly not such as to make 
 us much regret the loss of the books which it enumerates. They 
 were chiefly reference works in Canon and Civil Law, and the 
 commoner theological and liturgical stock-in-trade of a fourteenth 
 century ecclesiastic. I had at one time hoped that a good many 
 of these books would come to light in the library of Gonville and 
 Caius College, with which, of course, Bateman was connected : but 
 in this expectation I have been disappointed. 
 
 Such manuscripts as Trinity Hall possessed at the end of the 
 sixteenth century, after the removal of its earlier treasures, were 
 catalogued by Thomas James in his Ecloga Oxonio-Cantabrigiensis, 
 published in 1600 (p. 138). There were then seven of them, all of 
 which are still to be found in sitji. Bernard reprinted James's 
 list in the Catalogi Manuscriptormn Angliae et Hiberniae (1697). 
 Since then the only published list known to me is that in Haenel's 
 Catalogi (1830) p. 783, in which 49 items are enumerated : fifteen 
 (nos. 35 — 49) are collections on Law by Dr Dickens, four or five 
 others are similar late books, and one is oriental. Of these I have 
 little to say. The medieval manuscripts, which alone are described 
 in detail, are twenty-nine in number, and several of these are of 
 considerable interest. A short classification of them according to 
 subject will probably not be unwelcome^ 
 
 Of Bibles there is only a part of one, and that not remarkable : 
 there are also a gloss on Psalms and a compendium of the earlier 
 part of the Old Testament. 
 
 ' Dr H. Schenkl, in his Bibliotheca Patrum Latinorunt Britannica, as usual gives 
 useful notes on the patristic MSS. 
 
VI PREFATORY NOTE. 
 
 Of Liturgical matter there is none. To the Patristic class 
 belong an early Life of St Martin (the oldest of the manuscripts), 
 by Sulpitius Severus, and a slightly later Ambrose: also a good 
 Josephus, and a volume of Augustine. In later Theology, Ralph 
 of Flavigny on Leviticus (a fine book), Thomas Walden, Dymoke 
 against the Lollards, are the most notable. 
 
 General literature is best represented by a very curiously and 
 copiously illustrated French version of Boethius, with the Chatelaine 
 de Vergy, and the Regale du Monde. I have never seen a book 
 quite like this : the pictures are evidently copied partly from an 
 older illustrated copy of the same books, and partly from a richly 
 illuminated Psalter: they are rough reproductions of good originals. 
 
 The unique History by Thomas of Elmham of the Abbey of 
 St Augustine at Canterbury is certainly the best known of the 
 Trinity Hall manuscripts, and quite the most valuable. A specially 
 interesting feature in it, which has not, I think, been adequately 
 noticed, is to be found in its careful and skilful facsimiles of 
 ancient charters. 
 
 There are other less interesting historical books, an Imago 
 Mundi and a Polychronicon. The last department worthy of 
 mention is that of Canon Law, to which belong the two books 
 identifiable as legacies of the Founder. 
 
 All the most interesting part of the collection was the gift of 
 one man ; the good and zealous Cambridge antiquary, Robert 
 Hare. His name appears in the following books in my list: i, 2, 
 3, S, lo, II, 12, i6, 17, 24, 28. The Thomas of Elmham, with its 
 curious stipulation, the Boethius, the Walden and Dymock, are all 
 in the group. 
 
 More, perhaps, need not be said by way of introduction : but I 
 should like to thank the Rev. H. S. Cronin, B.D.,* Fellow and 
 Librarian of Trinity Hall, for the facilities he has granted me in 
 working at the manuscripts here described. 
 
 Uffenbach's account {Merkwiirdige Reisen III, 45) of the Library 
 of this College is rather full and interesting. He begins by callino- 
 the library " sehr schlecht," which is unjust. Then he says that 
 of the seven MSS. mentioned in Cat. MSS. Angl. he could hardly 
 find any. He proceeds : 
 
 The most remarkable and best MS. was certainly a vellum book 
 
PREFATORY NOTE. vii 
 
 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... Ambrosias de virginitate : ser- 
 monem Isidori Ep [I do not give the titles he quotes at length.] 
 
 Item in fol. Cod. Chart, recentissimus J oh. CorbelU [Cowel] J. D. C. 
 at in Acad. Cant. Profess. Institutiones Juns Anglicani 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 Leviticum. 
 
 Vol. in 4 membr. Sulp. Severi vita S. Martini etc. 
 
 Item Cod. memb. in 4, two fingers thick. Liturgia D. Jacobi Apostoli 
 caret initio, prefixed is the note: S. Jacobi Apostoli nomine apud graecos 
 in usu Liturgia est quam ut veram germanamque illius scripturam Proculus 
 CPol. agnouit et Synodus oecumenica sexta. Petrus Galesimus [Galesinius] 
 in suo Martyrol. fol. 98 parte secunda. More correctly below is written : 
 Non est haec divi Jacobi Liturgia cuius meminit Galesinius sed collectio 
 Lectionum quae in Eccl. orientali testis diebus etiamnunc leguntur e 
 Prophetis Proverbiis et Sapientia Salomonis sumta. This Codex however 
 is ex dono Richardi [Roberti] Hare 1605 from whom many other MSS. 
 also came. [This Greek Lectionary 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. Doctrinale Ecclesiae contra blasfemias 
 Wiclef 
 
 Lastly a Vol. in fol. membr.... Aug. de Civ. dei etc. 
 
viii PREFATORY NOTE. 
 
 He again expresses surprise at not finding the MSS. noted in 
 Cat. MSS. Afigl. and not finding in that work the books just 
 noted. They cannot, he rightly adds, have come to the College 
 since the publication of Bernard's Catalogi, for jnost of them were 
 given by Hare in 1603, " so that probably," he ends, " no one has 
 cared to trouble himself about these books and to make a list of 
 them."

 From St Augustine's, Canterbury. On the lower margin off. i 
 is this inscription (xvi) : 
 
 Liber iste quondam spectauit ad coenobium beatorum Apostolorum Petri et Pauli siue 
 Augustini iuxta muros ciuitatis Cantuarie. Ipso autem monasterio sub regimine regis 
 Henrici octaui sublato, bonisque omnibus monachorum spoliatis, et in usum regium 
 conuersis, idem liber fortuito peruenit ad manus magistri Roberti Haer, qui dedit eundem 
 collegio siue aule sancte Trinitatis Cantebrig. ibidem tuto et secure custodiendum. Hac 
 tamen condilione ut si imposterum (fauente deo) monasterium illud reedificari con- 
 tingeret : Tunc magister et socii collegii siue aulae sancte Trinitatis predicte eundem 
 librum raonachis eiusdem cenobii restitui facerent. Quoniara ad eos de iure pertinere debet. 
 
 The book is not entered in the Catalogue of the Abbey Library. 
 
 Collation: i^= 2^ 3* 4^ 5" 6^-io» (wants 8)... I have found it 
 impossible to ascertain the structure of the rest of the book, owing 
 to its size and the tightness of the back. 
 
 The whole text was printed by the Rev. C. Hardwick for the 
 Rolls Series in 1858 with a facsimile of the map of Thanet, and the 
 leaf with the view of the altar and shrines in St Augustine's Church 
 has been frequently engraved. In spite of this I will give some 
 notes on the aspect and contents of the volume, which is a most 
 remarkable specimen of calligraphy. 
 
 It begins with the chronological table (Hardwick, pp. 2-73) from 
 A.D. 597 to 1453. The years 1418-1453 are blank, f i. 
 
 This table is splendidly written in black, red and blue.

 The notes of historical events are in a beautiful small hand. 
 
 The table occupies 1 1 leaves. 
 
 Most of f. 12 « is occupied by a splendid circular diagram in red, 
 blue and black of the Ciclus Solaris. Below are two small ones of 
 the Ciclus lunaris and Ciclus indictionalis. 
 
 At the top are six memorial verses headed : 
 
 Compotus pro cicio solari per literas dominicales. 
 
 Below this five verses in red and blue on the Ciclus Solaris. 
 On the right a Tabula paschalis (a Kalendar from 12 kal. Ap. 
 to 7 kal. Mai). 
 
 At the bottom verses on the two other cycles. 
 
 This page is not printed by Hardwick. 
 
 ff. 12, b — \A^b blank. 
 
 On f. 1 s a the text begins : 
 
 L. I. De fundacione. 
 Inc. titulus de fundacione. 
 
 Tractatum de statu huius monasterii. 
 
 (Hardwick, p. Jj) 
 
 The initial is in exceedingly good penwork of red and blue on 
 white ground. This form of initial recurs many times. 
 
 On and after f i8i^ the names of Archbishops, Abbots, Popes 
 and Kings are written in large letters in medallions at the top 
 of the page. 
 
 On i. 2\b occurs the first of a series of remarkable facsimiles of 
 documents. This is a copy of a charter of Ethelbert (Confirmatio 
 solius fundi circa ecclesiam S. pancratii) and is headed : 
 
 Hie notatur exemplar contemplandum prime carte regis Eethelberti tam in longitudine 
 quam in latitudine quam in scripture qualitate. 
 
 It is a rather unsuccessful facsimile of an Anglo-Saxon hand. 
 The text is repeated in a beautiful small hand in the lower margin 
 headed : 
 
 Tenor prime carte in scriptura moderna. 
 
 A similar copy of a second charter (with transcription) is on 
 the next page f. 22 a. 
 
 On f. 23 « is a much better copy of a third charter in uncials. 
 It appears to be most carefully done and occupies the whole page, 
 being written the other way of the parchment. The "modern" 
 transcription is on f. 22 b.

 On f. 24 a is the Exemplar bulle S. Augustini cum signo 
 plumbeo. This is also in uncials and very carefully done. It has 
 a picture of the seal attached to it, in blue. Both faces are given. 
 On one is the fagade of a church, eeea/m/p/X£I. and the legend 
 •;• AVGVSTINI EPL, on the other half-length figure of Christ with 
 book, blessing, IE xc and the legend + SIGNV SEI salvatoris. 
 Besides the pictures are these notes, not printed by Hardwick.

 On f. 70 b (Ivi b) in an initial is a bust of Jambert as Archbishop

 After f. 73 is a break (see Hardwick, p. 344) from A.D. 806 to 1087. 
 
 ff. 74, 75 are blank. The old foliation omits ff. 72-75 so that 
 f. ^6 becomes f Iviii. f. jt b is blank.

 The last leaf has notes probably by Hare on the contents. The 
 book is very evidently unfinished. Besides the break (not due to 
 accident) after f. 73, it may be noted that the initials after that 
 point are much plainer, and that after f. 92 no initials have been 
 put in at all. The writing is of one character throughout, but 
 decreases in beauty towards the end. There are no headlines 
 after f. 68 (liv).

 There are at the beginning of the book some admirable 
 decorative initials in gold and colours. These have a green 
 edging. They should be compared with two MSS. at Trinity 
 College, B. 5. 3 and O. 5. 8. 
 
 The initials in question are on f. 2 «, 3 <^ (this is a pink initial 
 with gold filling, and inside ground of gold, on blue ground. 
 Within it is Moses, with red nimbus, white beard, pink mantle over

 On the flyleaf an inscription of 2\ lines carefully erased. Below 
 in a good xivth cent, hand : 
 
 In hoc libro continentur 
 
 Augustini de ciuitate dei libri XXII. Item eiusdem super genesym xii. [Eiusdem de 
 natura boni.] Item sentencie Damaceni 
 
 followed by a well-written note on the order of the Table, and 
 some later notes. 
 
 I have a strong belief that the volume is from Canterbury 
 (Christ Church) but I cannot make it out in any Catalogue. It is 
 probably just later than the date of Prior Eastry's Catalogue. He 
 died in 1331.

 The hand is not pretty, but is legible. The volume is very 
 copiously illustrated, and in a very curious way. There are two 
 sets of pictures : the one illustrates the text, the other consists of a 
 series of full-page pictures (in nearly all cases) which are appropriate 
 only to a religious book, and as I take it, must be copied from a 
 Psalter. Psalters usually had a series of preliminary paintings 
 illustrating the Life of Christ, and the principal Saints. 
 
 All these pictures are by the same hand. They are extremely 
 roughly drawn and coloured, almost no gold is used. The originals 
 were probably very fine. 
 
 In describing the book I will take the literary contents first and 
 then give a list of the illustrations. 
 
 At the top of f \b is the title : 
 
 Boesce de consolation. La chastelaine de Vergy. la regale du monde.

 Roger.
