_MS. "De Humilitate."_--Can any of your correspondents give me any
information as to the date, authorship, or value of a MS. that has lately
fallen into my hands? It is a thin quarto, beautifully written upon
parchment. The title page is wanting, and the MS. commences with the index:
but the title of the work is _De Humilitate_. It consists of twenty-four
chapters. The heading of the first two is as follows:
"Incipit prologus in libello qui inscribitur de humilitate,
Cap. I. Quam perniciosum sit et Deo odibile superbiæ initium, et
qualiter ac de quibus gloriandum sit.
II. Quod sit superbia fugienda et sectanda humilitas, quæ in sui vera
cognitione fundata consistit," &c.
The top of the first page has a rich initial letter; and at the bottom a
coat of arms: Crest, a leopard rampant; shield, argent, 3 bars gules, on a
chief azure 3 fleur de lys or. The heading of each chapter is written in
red ink.
