A twelfth-century MS. of Scholia on the _Odyssey_ was purchased for
£100. The collection of Bibles, which had during some time past made
some slow progress, was increased by copies of various early printed
versions in European languages, and its further enlargement was steadily
kept in view in succeeding years.
Six guineas were given for copies of Servetus' treatise _De Trinitatis
erroribus_ and his _Dialogi de Trinitate_, printed in 1531 and 1532,
which are of very great rarity, in consequence of their having very
generally shared the fate of their author.
