The Six Texts were these:--

1. The great "Ellesmere" MS. (so called after its owner, the Earl

of Ellesmere). "The finest and best of all the MSS. now extant."

2. The "Hengwrt" MS., belonging to Mr. William W.E. Wynne, of

Peniarth; very closely agreeing with the "Ellesmere."

3. The "Cambridge" MS. Gg 4.27, in the University Library. The

best copy in any public library. This also follows the

"Ellesmere" closely.

4. The "Corpus" MS., in the library of Corpus Christi College,

Oxford.
