8 D. V* 'SENTENCIE Hugonis de Sacramentis' (so old label, f. 1): book i of the work last mentioned, with some other tracts, viz.

1. 'Incipit prologus libri Hugonis de [sacramentis ab initio] usque in finem in una s[erie dispositis]'-the burnt words are supplied from 7 E, iii. Book i only. Prologue beg. 'Librum de sacramentis'; text, 'Quis. quis ad diuinarum scripturarum'. Colophon, 'Explicit liber Hugonis desacramentis xii. habens clausulas'. f. 2.

2. '[Lib]ellus sancti Patricii episcopi' : the tract de Tribus Habitaculis variously ascribed to S. Caesarius, S. Augustine, and Godwin, precentor of Salisbury (cf 7 D. XVII, art. 15, Migne, Patr. Lat. xl. 991, liii.

831). The first words are burnt. Colophon, 'Explicit libellus sancti Patricii episcopi'. f. 96 b.

3. ' ....... qualiter eligatur sum .......... qualiter ordinetur' : a tract on the ceremonial of consecration of a pope. The title and first words are burnt. Much of the wording is almost identical with that of Cencius de Sabellis (afterwards Pope Honorius III) in his tract printed in the appendix to the Benedictine edition of Gregory the Great as 'ordo Romanus xii' (Migne, lxxviii. 1097 sqq.). The first legible words are '. . in loco celebri et perscru . .'. Ends 'et in ii. feria pasce'. f. 100 b.

fice', and 'An filius sit idem cum patre in persona'. f. 102 b. On the fly-leaves are written in late 13th cent. hands verses (a) On Cleophas, the Marys, &c. ; much burnt. f. 104 b;-(b) Two distich epitaphs, beg. 'Quisquis eris qui morte cades' and 'Sufficit hic stumulus' (sic). f. 105;-(c) On the meanings of glos, glis. Beg. 'Cui sociatus adest frater tuus hec tua glos est'. f. 105.

Vellum; ff. 105. 10 in. x 61/4 in. (as now mounted 121/2 in. x 8 in.). Late XII cent. Sec. fol. 'Quod lux'. Initials in colours. The press-mark of the MS. before the fire of 1731, in which the edges were much burnt, is uncertain, as Casley accidentally omitted it from his Catalogue. It appears to have belonged to Rochester, see f. 2, 'Liber de claustro . . .', and no. 89 in the 1202 catalogue printed by Rye from 5 B. XII. Its old Royal press-mark was perhaps 381 Westm. invent. of 1542, Add. MS. 25469, f. 29); cat. of 1666, f. 4 b; CMA. 8043.
