_Sibi_ (Vol. iv., p. 327.).--The erroneous use of the reflective
pronoun, of which MR. FORBES gives an example in a quotation from the
_Legenda Aurea_, is common in monkish writings. I have an instance
before me, in a charter of Cnut (Kemble's _Codex Dipl. Anglo-Sax._, vol.
iv. p. 28.):
"Eius (_i.e._ Christi) quippe largiflua bonitate regia dignitate
subtronizatus, ego Knu[d] rex Angligenae nationis, pro nauciscendo
eius immensitatis misericordiae dono, concedo _sibi_ de suo proprio
quae mihi gratuito concessit, villam," &c.
