TWO FRENCH Poems, viz.:-
1. " Cy sensieut le testament maistre Jehan de Meuun the poem by Jean de Meung, printed at the end of several editions of the Roman de la Rose (ed. Méon, tome iv. p. 1). Contains 2060 lines (f. 25, containing 32 on one side only, is meant to be cancelled) as against Méon's 2176. The longest passages omitted are 11. 877-892, 1781- 1816, 2077-2108. Beg. " Li peres et li filz et li sains esperis du dieu en trinite honnoures et cheris." f. 1.
2. " Ensieut le traictiet du roussignol oyselet amoureux a translation of the well-known Latin poem in Goliardic metre which begins Philoimena preuia temporis ameni " and is possibly by John Peckham, Archbishop of Canterbury 1280-1292. It is wrongly ascribed to St. Bonaventura (ed. Peltier, vol. xiv. p. 162), and, by a confusion with a poem of the same title, to John Hoveden. A similar confusion has led to the attribution of the French version to Chrétien de Troyes. Beg. "Rossignol messager damoureuse nouuelle." f. 34. Paper; ff. 38. XV. cent. Initials in red and blue. Belonged in 16th cent. to Jean le Feron of Charleville, priest at Compiègne (11 EX libris Jo. Feronei Carolopolitani sac. Compendiensis," f. 32; Cf. f. 38 b). Barrois MS. 399 in Lord Ashburnham's library (sale-cat. 1901, lot 398). 11 1/4 in. x 8 in.
