LANCELOT DU LAC: the third part only of the prose romance (corresponding to Sommer, Vulgate Text of the Arthurian Romances, vol. v, 1912), see Ward, Cat. of Romances, i, p. 349, and cf. 19 C. XIII, above. The last pages of the text are somewhat condensed, and it ends abruptly at Sommer's p. 381. Beg. 'Or dit li cuntes que quant Agraueins fu partiz de ses compainons ansi cum vus auet oi, quil erra ii iurs enters'; ends 'que ii ne fu ocis aucune foiz. Mes atant lesse li contes a parler de lui et retorne au roi Arturs et a cex que o lui estoient'. F. 89, containing a single column only, is misplaced and should follow f. 87.
The fly-leaves (ff. 1, 2) are from the Proprium Sanctorum of a Missal in an early 14th cent. hand, the music not filled in. A few lines from a Breviary are copied in another 14th cent. hand on f. 109.
Vellum; ff. 109. 103/4 in. x 71/2 in. (ff. 1, 2 smaller, 10 in. x 63/4 in.). Late XIII cent. In several hands. Gatherings (beg. f. 3) of 8 leaves (iii9, vii9, x4, last4), lettered, with catchwords. Double columns. Sec. fol. 'si a tant dengoisse'. Initials in red and green, sometimes flourished. Cat. of 1666, f. 11 b; not in CMA.
