'GIRALDVS CAMBRENSIS, Topographia and Expugnatio Hibernica, with poems, apocryphal gospels, theological tracts, &c., in Latin, viz.:

1. First statute of Westminster, 3 Edw. I [22 April, 1275]; see Statutes of the Realm, i, p. 23. In French. f. 1.

2. 'Topographia Hybernica', by Giraldus Cambrensis. The text of this and the following article represents a late recension of Giraldus. It was collated by J. F. Dimock, Giraldi Cambr. Opera, Rolls Ser., 1867, v (see p. xxvii). 'Prefacio prima' beg. 'Consideranti mihi quam breuis', followed by table of capitula, letter to Henry II, 'Placuit excellencie uestre', and text, 'Hybernia post Britanniam insularum maxima'. f. 10 b.

3. 'Expugnacio Hybernica'; printed as above. 'Prefacio prima' beg. 'Quoniam de insule Hybernice situ', followed by table of capitula, letter to [Richard] Count of Poitou 'A [multis] requisitus et multociens', and text,' 'Dermicius itaque Murchardi filius'. The revised dedication, or letter to King John, is placed at the end (f. 104 b) and beg. 'Reuerentissimo domino suo et in Christo dilecto.... Placuit olim excellenti et magnani. mo'. f. 58 b.

4. Philomela: the poem on the voices of birds and beasts falsely ascribed to Ovid. The title here is, in a 16th cent. hand, on an erasure, 'Elegia de variis auibus inscripta Ouidio sub titulo de Philomela'. Printed in Bahrens' Poetae Latin Minores (Teubner Ser., 1883), V, p. 363. The first eight lines are here omitted, Beg. 'Barrus (sic, for Parrus) enim quamquam per noctem tinnipet omnem'. Another similarly mutilated copy occurs below, art. 14; cf. Harley MSS. 261, f. 3 (beg. 'Garrus'), 3859, f. 251 b. Complete texts are in 13 B. XIX, art. 4, Add. MS. 16894, f. 244 b, Harl. MS. 5198, f. 39, and Arundel MS. 133, f. 104b. Ends 'siue sonare queant'. f. 106 b.

5. De gemmis: the poem of Marbodus, Bishop of Rennes (d. 1123). The title 'Marbodei Galli de lapidibus pretiosis poema' is in a 16th cent. hand. Printed in Migne, Patr. Lat. clxxi. 1737, but the present text differs considerably and a few gems are omitted. For a French version see 12 F. XIII, f. 140 b. Beg. 'Euax rex Arabum legitur scripsisse Neroni'. f. 107 b. At the end of this article (f. 117) has been added, in a late 15th cent. hand, a rental of the lordship 'adjoynynge to the abbey of Clare [co. Clare] or appartaynynge'.

6. 'Liber de miseria condicionis humane editus a Lotario, diacono cardinali sanctorum Sergii et Bachi, qui postea Innocenius papa tercius appellatus est' : the three books De contemptu mundi of Innocent III (cf. 8 A. XXI, art. 10, with which MS. this agrees in the order of chapters as against the text in Migne, ccxvii.

701). Imperf. by loss of three(?) leaves after f. 124. Preface beg. 'Domino patri karissimo P.... Modicum ocii'; text, 'Quare de uulua, &c.: Si talia de se locutus est'. f. 117 b.

7. The summa 'Qui bene praesunt' [of Richard Wethershed]; cf. 5 F. 1, &c. The text has peculiarities in common with Harley MS. 3244, a few of which also occur in 9 A. XIV. A later hand has added the author's name 'Ricardus de Leicestria', for which another (early 17th cent.) hand has erroneously substituted, on the authority of Bale, 'Guilielmus de Lecestria siue de Montibus'. Beg. 'Qui bene presuiit presbiteri dupplici honore'. The text on ff. 177-186 is in a later hand on an inserted quire. f. 130.

8. Narrative (paraphrased from the Gesta Pilati and Descensus Christi ad Inferos or parts i and ii of the Pseudevangelium of Nicodemus, see Tischendorf, Evang. Apocr. 1853, pp. 344, 368) of the imprisonment of Joseph of Arimathea and the story of Leucius (here called Lortinus) and Carinus. The same form of the narrative occurs in Winchester Cathedral MS. 7 and Cambridge University MS. Ff. ii. 8 and is the basis of the English prose version examined by W. H. Hulme in his Harrowing of Hell, Early Engl. Text Soc., Extra Series, 1907, p. xxxvi. Beg. 'In diebus illis. Postquam Iudei in die parascheues'; ends 'in unitate sancte et indiuidue trinitatis patris et filii et spiritus sancti. amen'. f. 195. Art. 9 is an insertion, in a 14th cent. charter-hand.

9. The rhyming poem, in 53 quatrains, sometimes called Golias de coniuge non ducenda; printed by T. Wright (Camden Soc. 1841) among the Poems attributed to Walter Mapes, p. 77. The order of the verses is not the same as in the Cotton MSS. Vesp. E. XII and Titus A. XX and Harley MS. 978. The name of the author or hero appears in the text in the form Galuinus. Beg. 'Sit deo gloria. laus. benediccio, Iohanni pariter. Petro. Laurentio'; ends 'respondi breuiter Vobis consentio'. f. 197.

10. 'Liber Ta[r]tarorum' : the first eight chapters of the Historia Mongalorum of Johannes de Plano Carpini, an Italian Franciscan friar sent as Papal Legate to the Tartars in 1245. This is the MS. from which Hakluyt printed (The Principal Navigations, &c., ed. 1598, i). It was again collated for the edition of D'Avezac (Relation des Mongols ou Tartares, Paris, 1838), the editor not recognizing it as Hakluyt's MS. Beg. 'Omnibus Christi fidelibus, &c. Cum ex mandato sedis apostolice'. f. 198.

11. Verses (536 lines, in 131 rhyming stanzas) on the martyrdom of Thomas [Becket], Archbishop of Canterbury. Printed (from a MS. in Gray's Inn, No. 14) by Giles, Anecdota Bedae, Caxton soc., 1851, p. 112. A mutilated version was also given by Stapleton in Tres Thomae, Cologne, 1612, p. 138, and another, from a MS. at Évreux, by E. Du Méril, Poésies populaires latines, Paris, 1847, p. 70. Other copies (some wanting 11. 1-16) are in Add. MS. 35180, Digby MS. 166 at Oxford, and in one of Queen Christina's MSS. at the Vatican (no.

344), see Wattenbach in Neues Archiv der Gesellsch. für ältere deutsche Geschichtskunde, ii, p. 444, and Haurdau in Notices et Extrails, xxix, p. 347. Beg. 'A. et A. karissimi patris pax et homo'. The author's name and origin are veiled in the lines 'Nominant me G et s, medium dent horum. Edidit me pharerus [al. Phare Rus, cf. Rus Hamonis = Hampton, or is it a name for Ireland ?] circa castri forum. Gotum cibis [al. Totum cibus] solum est ubi sto locorum'. Du Méril, who did not know the prologue, suggested Gervase of Chichester, but the interpretation is difficult, A reference to 'Scoticum ridiculum' perhaps hints the author's Irish nationality. f. 213.

12. The Philosophia of William of Conches; cf. 9 A. XIV, art. 21. Beg. 'Quoniam, ut ait Tullius in prologo Rhetoricorum, eloquencia sine sapiencia nocet'. Blank spaces are left for diagrams. f. 217 b.

13. Prophecy of the tenth Sibyl (see Ward, Cat. of Romances, i, p. 194, and cf. 15 A. XXII, 15 B. XI). Preceded by a brief general account of the Sibyls, taken from Varro as quoted by Lactantius, Divinae Institutiones, i, cap. vi, and followed (f. 247) by the verseprophecy (twenty-seven hexameters, translated from a Greek acrostic) of the Erythraean Sibyl, as quoted by Augustine, De Civ. Dei, xviii, cap. xxiii (Migne, Patr. Lat. xli. 579 and clxxi. 1731). Introduction beg. 'Generaliter [al. Sibyllae generaliter] omnes femine dicuntur prophetantes'; text, 'Fuit igitur hec sibilla Priamidis regis filia'; verses-, 'Iudicii signum tellus sudore madesset'. f. 244.

15. Meditationes de cognitione humanae conditionis: a common work attributed sometimes to S. Bernard, sometimes to Hugo de S. Victore (see 6 B. XI, art. 9, and Migne, clxxxiv. 485). Beg. 'Multi multa sciunt et semetipsos nesciunt'. f. 248 b.

16. Prayer, abridged from that which is printed, in Migne, clviii. 858, as oratio ii of S. Anselm, and also ib. xl. 904 in a Pseudo-Augustinian Liber meditationum (cf 8 B. i, art. 3m). Beg. 'Inuoco, deus meus, inuoco te'. f. 259.

17. Sermon on charity, sc. no. cccl. of S. Augustine, Migne, xxxix. 1533. Beg. 'Diuinarum scripturarum Multiplicem'. f. 259 b.
