[Many of Laud's MSS. came from a Carthusian Monastery near Mentz, and
from the Monastery of Eberbach, in the Duchy of Baden. It is worth
mentioning that No. 233 amongst his Miscellaneous MSS. belonged to John
Lydgate, and No. 576 to John Foxe. Several others had been previously in
the possession of Archbp. Usher, and of Lindsell, Bishop of
Peterborough.
No. 76 of Digby's MSS. was bought by Dr. John Dee, at London, May 18,
1556, 'ex bibliotheca Joh. Lelandi.']
[367] This list does not profess to be complete. But it is believed to
comprehend most of the MSS. which afford distinct evidence of former
ownership of this kind.
[368] _Picus Mirandula de Providentia Dei_, 1508. Given to the library
of the Church by Rich. Sparchiford, Archdeacon of Salop, Oct. 19, 1557.
It had previously belonged to Linacer.
[369] 'Hunc librum emit ... a magistro Philips, rectore collegii Exon,
a^o. Xi. 1468, una cum volvella solis et lunæ.'
[370] _Galani Conciliatio Eccl. Armenæ cum Romana_, 1650. It is
satisfactory to be able to add, that the Bodleian obtained this book, as
Bishop Booth obtained the Robertsbridge MS. (_infra_) 'modo legitimo;' a
memorandum records that it was 'bought of Fletcher the bookseller.'
[371] On the last leaf of this MS. there is a list, faintly written with
a style, of some twenty MSS. (including 'triplices cantus' for the
organ), written by one monk, to which the memorandum is added: 'Hec sunt
opera fratris W. de Wi[=c]b. per quadriennium apud Leom. (_i.e._
Leominster, a cell to Reading) commorantis.' The list commences, 'Nota
quod frater W. de Wi[=c]b. (_probably Wicumbe_), precibus domini J. de
Abbend. tunc precentoris, hortatu vero et precepto domino R. de Wygorn.
tunc supprioris, collectarium cotidianum secundum usum Rading correxit
et de duobus unum fecit.' The book may have belonged to either Reading
or Leominster.
[372] The usual anathema is subjoined on any one stealing the book from
the house of St. Mary 'de Ponte Roberti,' or in any part mutilating it;
which is followed by this self-exculpatory note on the part of a
subsequent possessor: 'Ego Johannes, Exon. episcopus, nescio ubi est
domus prædicta, nec hunc librum abstuli, sed modo legittimo adquisivi.'
This _John_ would seem to be John Booth, who was Bishop of Exeter from
1466 to 1479.
[373] The name of Peter Fader is found also in MS. Arch. Seld. B 26.
