'TRESORS the work of Brunetto Latini, see above, 17 E. I. The MS., which is not mentioned in the list in Chabaille's edition, is akin to, but not derived from, Paris MS. Bibl. Nat., fonds fr. 1109 (formerly 7363), and contains the chapters on Berengarius and his successors, but not the interpolation on the Holy Places. The original division into books is not very clearly indicated, but apparently the ethical part forms bks. ii, iii, and the rhetoric and politics are joined as bk. iv. This is the arrangement of the table of chapters at f. 2, but there is a second table of chapters at the end of the volume (f. 151) with references to a division of the work (nearly corresponding to the quires) in which each opening (two pages) of the MS. has a number and letter (A i-xii, B i-xii . . . Ni). Beg. 'Cis liures est apelez tresors car si comme li sires qui vuet em petit lieu amasser'; ends 'dou commun de la vile et ten iras chies toi a glore et a honor. Amen'. At the end, and before the second table of contents, is a charm (?) in French verse (f. 150), 66 lines all with the same rhyme. Begins:-
'Quant vist li quenule la coleuere engras Ou foudre ou tempeste ou feu ardant com bras.' Ends :-
'Encontre Sathan et tous demonias Cum feistes a Dauy quant il venqui Golias. Per omnia secula seculorum. Amen.'
The fly-leaf (f. 11), bearing an old foliation lvii, is part of an accompt, in French, of farms at St. Hyllaire [near Falaise, Normandy], of the 15th cent.
Vellum; ff. 154. 131/4 in. x 81/2 in. XIV cent. Gatherings (beg. f. 5) of 12 leaves, signed in the manner noted above (A being at the head of each verso page of the first quire and xii at the head of the first recto page of the second quire and so on), with catchwords. Double columns. Sec. fol. in table 'des serpens'; in text 'choses qui'. Initials flourished in red and blue. Belonged (f. 2) to [John, Lord] Lumley. Lumley cat. f. 331; cat. of 1666, f. 11 not in CMA.

- f. 1 Accounts: Portion of farm account at St. Hilaire, near Falaise: 15th cent.
