collections[385]:--
'About five years since the workmen in digging the gardens that
formerly belong'd to St. Frideswyd's, Oxford, found a crucifix;
the figure in pontifical robes, enamelled and gilt, with stones
in the arms and breast. It came afterwards into the hands of Mr.
Edw. Thwaites of Queen's College, who gave it to the Bodleian
Library, where in the Physick schoole 'tis now reserved, and
seems to be very ancient.'
A drawing of the figure made for Thwaites by J. T. [alman] lies
beside it, which was given to the Library by the late Dr.
Wellesley. The figure resembles a crucifix found at Lucca, of
the seventh century.
