1. "HISTORIA Monasterii Ramesensis": a 17th century copy of the MS. of the Chronicle of Ramsey Abbey now in the Bodleian Library [Rawl. MS. B. 333], and formerly in the possession of Sir Henry Spelman (cf. Macray's edition, Rolls Series, 1886, pp. ix.-xii.). Described by Macray, op. cit. p. xiv. The first three parts are complete; then follow the charter of William I. in 1077 (cf. Macray, pp. 200-204), the charter of Henry VI. in 1442 (ib. p. 324 note), and the Narratio de Abbate Gualtero (ib. pp. 325- 336). f. 3. The whole is preceded by two extracts from the chronicles, and a bull of Gregory V. [997], concerning Peter's Pence; and at the end (f. 76) are notes on the coming of the Carmelites to England in 1240, their establishment at Aylesford, co. Kent, in 1246, and the dedication of churches there in 1248 and 1417.
2. Dialogus de Scaccario [by Richard Fitz-Nigel, Bishop of London 1189-1198], "authore Gervasio Tilburiense (ut creditur)." f. 77. From a comparison of passages it appears certain that this is a copy of the MS. belonging to Sir Henry Spelman from which No. 312 above is taken (cf. especially the numbering of the chapters in the table to book ii.). At the end (f. 127) is the same table of times allowed for the issue of summonitions to the various counties. Vellum; ff. 127. The whole in one hand, of the XVIIth century, very clearly written. Blank spaces are left where the scribe of this MS. or (more probably) of those from which it was copied was unable to read the original. Folio.
