_St. Botulph_ (Vol. vii., p. 84.).--The life of St. Botulph, contained in
the Harleian MS. No. 3097., is by Fulcard, a monk of Thorney, as appears by
the dedication. It is the same as that printed by Capgrave, who omits the
dedication. Fulcard wrote the lives of certain other saints buried at
Thorney (Torhtred and Tancred). The dedication does not belong exclusively
to the life of Botulph, but forms the introduction to all three lives. It
was for this reason, I suppose, that Capgrave (or rather John of Tynemouth,
from whom he borrowed) omitted it.
