PREFATORY NOTE. WHEN this catalogue was first handed over to the Press, it seemed not unlikely that it could be issued in a single volume which, if bulky, would not be unmanageable. As the printing proceeded, however, the prospective size of the book, with its Indexes and Introduction, became more formidable, and the Governing Body of Gonville and Caius College very kindly allowed the work to be divided into two volumes. The first, which I now submit, contains descriptions of 354 manuscripts, the large majority of which belong to the medieval period. My account of these is made entirely de novo : but in treating of the later paper books I have in many cases allowed J. J. Smith's 1 descriptions to stand practically unaltered. I have, indeed, cor- rected such errors as I perceived and added details which came to my knowledge : but Smith's work upon them remains the basis of mine. If this should prove a disappointment to students, I am sorry. I will only plead in the first place that Smith took much more trouble with these volumes than with the older books, and in the second place that many of them are of very slight interest. In the second volume (which I hope may not be long delayed) will be found accounts of a rather larger number of manuscripts : but a majority of these are of late date. They include the heraldic collections of Dr John Knight. I hope to add the requisite Indexes, and also lists of donors and provenances. The tables of corresponding numbers in various catalogues appear in the present volume. 1 J. J. Smith. Catalogue of the Manuscripts in the Library of Gonville and Caius College; Cambridge, 1849. VI PREFATORY NOTE. To any student who will do me the service of pointing out my mistakes I shall be really grateful. The division of this catalogue into two volumes affords a welcome opportunity for recording and correcting errors. The production of this first volume gives me a not less welcome opportunity of expressing my most grateful thanks to the Master and Fellows of Gonville and Caius College for allowing me to catalogue their manuscripts, and in particular to Professor J. S. Reid, Litt.D., for his unwearying kindness in affording me facilities for doing the work. M. R. JAMES. INTRODUCTION. The manuscripts belonging to Gonville and Caius College fall into the following very unequal divisions. First, the relics of the medieval collection : next, the books given by the second founder of the College, Dr Caius : in the third place, those given or bequeathed by William Moore in 1659: fourthly, the heraldic collections given about 1680 by Dr John Knight: fifthly, miscellaneous additions acquired in and after the sixteenth century. Upon each of these classes a few general remarks may be offered. 1. The relics of the medieval library. These exceed in number the analogous possessions of any other of our Colleges ; they amount, according to my calculation, to upwards of 350 volumes. It is especially unfortunate that no early catalogue of this collection can now be found. Such an one as exists at Peterhouse would have been of great interest here, where what must be a very large proportion of the books is preserved 1 . Two volumes in this section of the Library (Nos. 16 and 63) are referred correctly, to all appearance, to Bishop Bateman as donor : two others (279 and 300) were certainly given by John of Terrington, "one of the original staff of Fellows, in 1 35 1." Walter Elveden and Michael Causton in the fourteenth century, Walter Crome, John Beverley, William Grene, and Roger Marchall in the fifteenth, were among the most liberal contributors whom 1 Among the medieval books is a group containing a series of peculiar press-marks of the fourteenth or fifteenth century, which are probably native to the College. The books in which they are found are all works on Civil or Canon Law : their numbers in the catalogue are 15, 32, 54, 89, 242, 248, 254, 483, 605. The form of the press- marks is indicated in my descriptions. The highest number which occurs in any of them is 41 (in no. 32). Two other books (40 and 63) have titles written in rather similar fashion. Vlll INTRODUCTION. we can still trace. A complete list of the donors (of all periods) finds a place in this work. 2. The gifts of Dr John Caius are not very many, but their character and the importance of their donor claim for them a place apart. They include a Hebrew Bible (evidently once the property of a medieval Western scholar) which Caius had studied in his undergraduate days, and a group of medical and philosophical Greek manuscripts, some of which were most probably written specially for him in Italy, whence all of them seem to have come. None of these are earlier than the sixteenth century. 3. The collection of William Moore (a sketch of whose life will be found in Dr Venn's invaluable Biographical History of the College, vol. I, p. 192) is varied in character. It consisted originally of nearly 150 volumes, a few of which have gone astray, and it includes most of the books which are especially distinguished for age or beauty. Among the vellum manuscripts are some which came from Canterbury, Reading, Bury, Peterborough, and other greater abbeys, and several from the small Augustinian house of St Thomas of Lesnes or Westwood, near Woolwich. A very considerable part of the collection consists of historical and mis- cellaneous papers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, of whose value I am not competent to form an estimate. These were described with somewhat special care by J. J. Smith in his Catalogue of 1849, an d his evident interest in them makes it the more curious that he should have omitted all notice of their generous donor. One would not gather, so far as I can see, from anything in his volume that Moore had ever given a single manu- script to the College. The Oxford Catalogue of 1697 (which Smith used pretty extensively) very properly keeps Moore's benefaction separate from the earlier part of the library. 4. Dr John Knight's heraldic books are likewise separately catalogued in the Oxford volume, where they are reckoned as 65 in number. The descriptions of them are, however, so brief that it is difficult in several cases to identify the volumes with certainty. An index made by Knight himself (and printed by Smith at p. 306) affords some help ; and on the whole it would seem that few if any of his books have been lost. There is in the Library a considerable mass of fragmentary and undigested papers, no INTRODUCTION. IX doubt also given by Knight, relating to heraldic and genealogical matters. These I have cursorily inspected, and cannot believe that they would repay a more strict examination. Of Knight's career particulars will be found in Venn (I. 246). 5. The miscellaneous division includes a few books of high interest, notably the Greek Gospels which were once owned by Robert Grosseteste and were given to the College in 1567 by Thomas Hatcher. I may perhaps be forgiven for remarking that in this action Mr Hatcher, as a Kingsman, hardly showed that piety towards his own College which we know him to have cherished. He was the initiator of that very useful Register of Provosts, Fellows, and Scholars which, continued by various hands, has borne fruit in the works of Harwood and of Mr J. J. Withers. There are also one or two fine Bibles. But the bulk of this section consists of paper books ; the medical collections of Dr Gostlin, the historical collections of Dr Brady, old College exercises, and other University and College records, unpublished treatises on Divinity and such matters, some sufficiently interesting, but a good many possessing only such claims to preservation as their not very high antiquity gives them. Most College libraries afford a home to some of these waifs, and they are to the cataloguer (the only being who is ever likely to look at them) rather a weariness of the flesh. Something must now be said of the catalogues and documents already in print which relate to this Library. Leland in the Collectanea (IV. 20) gives a list of some twenty tracts (not all separate volumes) which he had seen here : of these, five or six can be readily identified as still extant. Bale in the Index Scriptornm refers to about six books : all but one are still forthcoming. Thomas James in the Ecloga Oxonio-Cantabrigicnsis (1600, pp. 98-1 1 1) is the first to give a complete list of the manu- scripts. It is in two parts, the first of which is entitled " Libri MSS. in Bibliotheca Collegii," and contains 33 articles : but one of these (no. 31) comprises 11 volumes of Hugo de Vienna. The total number is therefore 43. The second and by far the larger division has this heading : " Libri quorum nomina sequuntur ex- tant in Archiuis eiusdem Collegii." It contains 281 items. James's list thus comprises in all 324 volumes. Of these it is possible now X INTRODUCTION. to identify 42 in the first division and 202 in the second. But out of the somewhat large residue very few are to be reckoned as really missing : the fact is that my predecessor's descriptions do not allow mc to proceed with certainty : " Liber Juris Canonici," " Justinianus," "Miscellanea Theologica Anonymi " are not very helpful titles, and there are a good many of these. My general conclusion is that only one or two volumes can be definitely said to have been lost since Thomas James's time. The Oxford Catalogue {Catalogi Mamiscriptorum Angliae ct Hiberniae, 1697) furnishes our second complete list. It was one freshly made out for the editors : in its title it professes to enu- merate 547 volumes, but the numbering runs from 691 to 1276 (i.e. 586 items). It is one of the fullest and best of the Cambridge catalogues in the volume, and includes, as I have said, the collec- tions of Moore and Knight. A survey of its arrangement will not be without interest. The first division, headed Ex Donatione Vetere, is divided into subjects, viz.: 1. Libri Theologici (691-845). (a) Bibles, Commentaries, Sermons. (/>) Patres et Scriptores antiqui. {c) Scholastici, Summistae, Casuistae. (d) Alii libri Theologici et Miscellanei. 2. Jurisconsulti, vel Libri de Jure tarn Ciuili quam Canonico (846- 934). 3. Historici (935-944). 4. Libri de Medicina (945-979). (a) Graece conscripti ex donatione Jo. Caii Fundatoris. (/>) Libri Latine conscripti. 5. Libri Philosophici (980-1064). (a) Physici vel de Philosopliia naturali. (I?) Ethici et Politici. (c) Logici. (d) Mathematici et Chemici etc. (e) Rhetorici, Etymologici, Grammatici etc. INTRODUCTION. xi 6. Catalogus Librorum MSS. ex donatione Mag. More quondam socii huius Collegii (1065-1211, in classes A to E). 7. A Catalogue of Manuscripts in Heraldry given to the College by Dr John Knight, Sergeant Chirurgeon to King Charles II (1212-1276). The portion of the collection which corresponds to that cata- logued by James shows 374 items as against his 324 — an increase of 50. We must allow for at least two double descriptions (no. 943 = no. 1064 and 944=1059), several wrong divisions of volumes, and a few cases of duplicates put under one number : speaking broadly, we find that the increase is accounted for by gifts sub- sequent to the year 1600. One volume of the older collection (no. 885, Jo. Andreae apparatus etc.) is perhaps missing. Of Moore's gifts four are not forthcoming. One of them has made its way to the University Library (it is now Ff. 3. 33): the other three were missing in 1760 1 , as I learn from a paper written in that year which is preserved in the Library. A glimpse of the collection as it was (or was not) in the early years of the eighteenth century is afforded to us in Uffenbach's Merkwiirdige Reisen. The passage is quoted and commented upon by Dr Venn (ill. 189). Uffenbach mentions several manuscripts, but has nothing very illuminating to say about them. I know of no other document which requires to be mentioned until we come to the publication of the catalogue by J. J. Smith, Fellow and some time Librarian, in 1849 2 . The undertaking of such a work at a time when medieval things were, to say the least, little studied by Cambridge men, seems to me so praise- worthy that I have little inclination to dwell on the defects of the book. Besides, I am in this volume attempting more than Mr Smith, and perhaps achieving less in proportion than he did, so that to pass strictures upon him might be not only un- generous but imprudent. There is no doubt that his book might be better, and that it leaves room for a fuller work, which room I am trying to fill : but there is also no doubt that it has been of very great use to many students, and to myself among them. 1 Viz. nos. 1 134, 1 186, 1 190: but I suspect that no. 1186 is really no. 608 in Smith's catalogue. 2 See Venn II. 189. Xli INTRODUCTION. Besides the catalogue, Mr Smith issued, in 1853, a small set of lithographed facsimiles from the manuscripts, which are both carefully done and well selected. Notices of the patristic manuscripts are to be found in Dr Schenkl's Bibliotheca Pat rum Latinorum Britannica (2717- 2809). I have incorporated the references he gives to Migne's Patrologia. For a very full and interesting account of the Library — both building and contents — I must refer the reader to Dr Venn (III. 189-195). TABLES OF CORRESPONDENCES IN NU1 OF MANUSCRIPTS. BERING I.

This is wrong; it corresponds to 478, hence confusion. Further, there is no manuscript in Smith numbered 479: this number I assign to the Codex Justiniani in my Catalogue. It stands in the proper place ; one number (858 or 859) in Cat. MSS. Angl. lacks any corresponding volume. t Nos. 943 and 1064 are both descriptions of the same book, no. 249 in Smith.

Poole and Bateson, pp. 331, 488) at Gonville Hall; another copy was in the possession of John Meere. Bale's words are : Anglus quidam Radulphus de Marham (quem Augustinianum fuisse iudico) nobile opus edidit, scilicet, Manipulum chronicorum. Li. vii (first words) Fratribus religiosis animo tenentibus ecclesie ritum regularem Augustinianum. Ex domo Jo. Meere et aula Gumiyle. Tanner quoting Bale and Pits says : Marham ( Radulphus), frater Augustinianus in coenobio Linnensi Cantabrigiae sedulo bonis Uteris operam dedit et ibi SS. theologiae doctor evasit. Scripsit Manipulum chronicorum lib. VII. "Fratribus religionis animo." Nomen operi huic insigni non addidit, sed in exordio primi libri primorum uerborum capitales literae conficiunt Frater Radulphus Marrham. (Scripsit quoque) Indices amplos in eadem chronica lib. II.

Compare the device used by Ranulph Higden in the Poly- chronicon and also by Brame of Thetford in his unpublished romance of King Waldeve. There was a copy of this book in the University Library in 1473 as Mr Poole notes (Bradshaw, Collected Papers, p. 38). The copy before us is imperfect ; the text begins in c. 5 of Distinction I of Lib. I on the fall of the angels. Inc. 11 is another gap extend- ing to c. 2 of Dist. 11. Contents : Lib. I treats of the Creation, the habitable globe and the universe, the virtues, arts, etc. John of Salisbury, Henry of Huntingdon, Giraldus, and Ranulph of Chester are among the authors quoted : also Godefridus of Viterbo. It has 8 distinctions and ends with f. 28 a. Lib. II, f. 28 b, in seven distinctions, gives the history from Adam to the death of Moses. In dist. vi, ch. xi etc. is a long disquisition by the compiler on the interpretation of Shiloh in Gen. xlix, in which he shews a knowledge of Hebrew and quotes various Rabbis and the Jerusalem Talmud. Lib. Ill, f. 69/', in six distinctions, from Joshua to the Captivity. Lib. iv, f. ri8, in eight distinctions, from the Captivity to the Birth of Christ. 27] GONVILLE AND CAIUS COLLEGE LIBRARY. 21 Lib. v, f. 195 (in two distinctions), was meant according to the title to extend from the Birth of Christ to Commodus but ends with the Ascension on f. 228a.

On the flyleaf is : Gunvile hall which is written in all Grene's books. Also this title (xiv) Liber pauperum inter libros cronicarum continens libros vij. Auctor istius libri vocatur Freeulfus qui compilauit predictum librum ex dictis et scriptis diuersorum auctorum. A xvth cent, hand adds: credo quod mentiris. A xvth cent, title (similar but not the same) below. There are four leaves at the beginning of the book which are somewhat puzzling. The recto of the first was blank and has the title etc. given above. On the verso is a large initial P (red, blue and green : the green has corroded the vellum) and the beginning of the text. The second has genealogies and names of Jewish, Assyrian and Median kings down to the Captivity (beginning of the Fourth age of the world). These leaves are headed Lib. i in an old hand. After them there must be a gap. The other two are consecutive waste leaves in the same hand as the rest of the MS. and containing matter which recurs in its proper place. The first has on the recto the matter contained in the L. column of ff. 6, 7 to inportuosa (f. 7 a 1. 14), then from Germinet terra (f. %b col. 2 bottom) to uocari fructum (f. ro a col. 1 1. 20), the second continues with the matter contained in the Z. column of ff. 10-12 a 1. 17 quando madefactum. It is noticeable that this second leaf is an integral part of the first quire (of which it is the first leaf). It has been at a later time pasted into the binding. I number it as A. At present I conclude that this second pair of leaves should when the MS. is rebound precede the other pair. Collation: Three loose leaves. I 8 -I9 S (wants 6-8). 92 CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS. [92- Contents : Chronicon siue liber Pauperum. The two loose leaves at the beginning contain the following: Promissum tibi opus frater karissime ex multis catholicorum patrum et etiam aliorum dictis collectum et in quoddam corpus redactum ut potui gratia dei adiuuante conclusi totum in septem libris partitus sum. ..One book is devoted to each of the Seven Ages.

The L. is headed Ex cronicis Hugonis Sex diebus perfecta est rerum conditio. The R. begins : Secundo posita est series annorum secunda septuaginta. It should be noted that throughout most of the book the columns do not read consecutively but alternately: that is where, on two open pages, we have four columns before us (A, B, C, D) column A is continued not by B but by C, and column B reads on to D. At the bottom of each column is a sign (an obelus or letter or the like) and this is repeated at the top of the column in which the text is continued. These signs resemble in form those which are used for press- marks in the older books which come from Christ Church, Canterbury.

The entry of the dedication of Sorewell Chapel and the presence of Sorewell accounts in the volume make it more than probable that the scribe or owner was connected with Shorwell in the Isle of Wight. This is confirmed by the note about St Simon's martyrdom at Arefeld in Wight in 121 1. I have nowhere else encountered this saint. The connexion between this MS. and Mm.

In Grace Book A, p. 4 (1455-6), Herryson is fined for non- inception in Arts: p. 43 (1463-4) for non-inception in Medicine. He is sometimes said to have been Chancellor in 1465, and to have produced a book, De Fundatoribus Academiae Cantabrigiensis. Caius {De Antiq. Cantab., p. 44) refers to him as an authority. But I cannot find that he did more than transcribe the Historiola. It is probably to the MS. before us that Caius refers (1. c. p. 38) when he offers to produce copies of the Historiola that shall be old, on parchment, illuminated, and flavi or russi.
