'Psalterium fratris Walteri de Rouceby,' followed by the Canticles,
Athanasian Creed, Litany, &c. A Calendar is prefixed, with
Peterborough obits, from which it appears that Rouceby died May 4,
1341. A series of nineteen miniatures, illustrating the life of our
Blessed Lord and of the Virgin Mary, precedes the Psalter. The arms
of Edward III appear at the head of Ps. i. One of Bp. Barlow's MSS.;
in 1604 it belonged to one John Harborne.
12. A _Psalter_, with Canticles, Hymns, &c., written in the latter half
of the fourteenth century.
Apparently one of Rawlinson's MSS.
13. '_Ye Dreme of Pilgrimage of ye Soule_, translated out of French [of
G. Guilevile] into Inglissh, with somwhat of addicions of ye
translatour, ye zeere of our Lord, 1400.' Illustrated with curious
coloured drawings.
A precursor of Bunyan's _Pilgrim's Progress_, with which it has been
compared. It was printed by Caxton in 1483, and his edition was
reprinted in 1859.
This MS. was given to the Library, apparently in Bodley's time, by
Sir James Lee, Knt.
14. _Commentary on the Passion of our B. Lord_ ('Scripta super totam
Passionem Christi a quatuor Evangelistis formatam'), by Michael de
Massa, of the order of Augustinian Hermits.
Written (as a final colophon records) by Ralph de Medyltone at
Ingham (Suffolk?), A.D. 1405, for Sir Miles de Stapiltone. A
drawing of the Crucifixion at the beginning. Bodl. MS. 758.
15. '_The Mirroure of the Worlde_, that some calleth Vice and Vertu;'
translated from the Latin of Laurence the Frenchman (Laur. Gallus), and
illustrated with some drawings of remarkable grace and spirit, supposed
to be by some Flemish artist.
A MS. of the early part of the fifteenth century; on paper. Bodl.
