ON THE SOURCES OF THE PARKER COLLECTION

OF MANUSCRIPTS AT CORPUS CHRISTI

COLLEGE.

HISTORIANS, palaeographers, and archaeologists, will all agree that it is very important to determine the places in which ancient books were written or preserved. If we can trace the career of a manuscript from the scriptorium where it took shape to the library shelf on which it rests to-day, we may find that its history will throw light on the most un- expected matters. It may shew us the origin of a school of handwriting: it may explain the genesis of a type of text: or it may account for the presence of a particular element in the works of a famous writer. Some of the notable results gained by study of the history of individual manuscripts will appear as I proceed. They are probably sufficient to justify the rash attempt I have made to determine the original homes of the books comprising that famous collection, the Parker MSS. at Corpus Christi College. I say that my attempt is rash, because it is not to be expected that any one person should be capable of seizing upon and rightly appreciating all the indications which are significant and might be made to yield the information we seek. Still, it so happens that a very considerable proportion of the books in Archbishop Parker's collection can be assigned to their ancient homes with certainty, or with great probability; and, for the rest, I have noted such indications as may in the future enable myself, or other searchers in the same field, to fill up the gaps I have been forced to leave.

2 CORPUS CHRISTI MSS.

Several reasons have contributed to induce me to under- take this piece of work. Perhaps the most cogent is to be found in the kindness of Mr C. W. Moule, Librarian of the College, who made it possible for me to take every single volume, from no. 1 to no. 482, off the shelves, and examine it for traces of its provenance. And besides that, I am very anxious to set the example of treating a collection of MSS. in this particular way. At present the only considerable attempt in this direction with which I am acquainted is the list of provenances of MSS. given by the Rev. W. D. Macray in his Annals of the Bodleian Library : a list which though necessarily incomplete, is invaluable to the searcher after remains of our ancient libraries.

But, indeed, every one of the older collections of manu- scripts in England ought to be analysed from the point of view of the provenance of its component parts. If we wish, as I imagine we do wish, to gain a clear and complete notion of the intellectual life of monastic England, we must know what books were in the hands of the monks in the various great centres of learning. And it will be just as instructive to ascertain what sort of libraries the smaller abbeys or priories possessed, as it is to study the books belonging to the larger communities. To attain this end we must have a Corpus of monastic catalogues : we must print and analyse the Catalogus 8&*iptorum of Boston of Bury, and the probably earlier Tabula septem custodiarum : and we must also go through the old stores, such as the Cottonian, Royal, Harleian, Arundel, and Bodley MSS., and the College Libraries at Cambridge and Oxford, examining every volume and noting press-marks, names of mediaeval and sixteenth century owners, and the opening words of the second leaf. It is, no doubt, a big piece of work : but my own slight experience has taught me that it is preeminently interesting — even exciting — and that all manner of pleasant discoveries, great and small, await him who is bold enough to embark upon it.

To come from the general to the particular; I have to explain the methods I have myself employed in examining

CORPUS CHRISTI MSS. 3

the Parker MSS., and to gather up some of the results that I have obtained.

It must be stated at once that a very great deal of the material for identification has been irrecoverably lost. Nearly all the MSS. were rebound at the end of the last century, and with that rebinding away went all the evidence that might have been gleaned from old bindings, fly-leaves, or fragments of writing in the covers. The Parker Collection is not the only one in Cambridge which has suffered in this way. At Peterhouse, and at the University Library, equal havoc has been wrought in the past : but the loss is the more to be deplored in the case before us in view of the higher average value of the books concerned.

Not all, again, of my results are new. Nasmyth in his Catalogue notes the source of many of the MSS. : but the examination of a large number of MSS. in many libraries has furnished me with more material for identifying the books belonging to different monasteries than he had at his command.

In forming the list of manuscripts subjoined to this dis- course, my principle of procedure has been as follows. I have not given a list of the contents of each MS., but only a short title : and I have uniformly noted the first words of the second leaf (called the dictio probatoria). The reason for this is, that in most monastic catalogues this detail appears : and thus volumes which I have failed to trace to their old homes may be identified in the future by means of such catalogues. Where Parker has bound up two or three complete MSS. together, I have noted the first words of the second leaf of each. Furthermore, I have not included in my survey the late paper MSS., of which there are so many in the Library. They are mostly collections of letters and statutes, or late treatises. Naturally these were never in monastic libraries at all. Nor do I notice the Wycliffi te MSS. : for these were chiefly (though not in all cases) circulated among seculars.

Now among the Parker MSS. are some scanty relics of a collection previously possessed by Corpus Christi College. In 1439 Thomas Markaunt, Fellow, bequeathed to the College

1—2

4 CORPUS CHRISTI MSS.

a library of 76 (75) volumes, which for upwards of a century were preserved with great care, under special conditions. A full Catalogue of these remains: it is no. 232 in Nasmyth. It has been already printed once for this Society, by Mr J. O. Halliwell in 1848 : but I have thought it well to reprint it here. For, in his prefatory note, the last editor says, " It may be mentioned that in the original manuscript the incipits of the second and of the penultimate folios are given, but it has not been considered necessary to copy them." Much might be said about the wisdom of this remark ; but I will omit any criticisms and merely say that I have copied the incipits in question, so that by their help we may be able to identify any of Markaunt's books which may be lurking in Cambridge or elsewhere.

At present only three of the 75 volumes, exclusive of the Catalogue, have presented themselves. Two are at Corpus Christi, and the third in the Registry. And here let me say a few words about the disappearance of the old libraries of Cambridge. We have in print catalogues of the old Libraries at Corpus Christi, Trinity Hall, King's, Queens', St Catherine's, and the University. At the present moment 19 of the Uni- versity Library books are known to exist out of 330. At Corpus Christi, as I have said, 3 out of 75; at Queens', I believe, none; at King's, 1 out of 176; at Trinity Hall, 1; at St Catherine's none out of about 100. It is clear, also, from Leland's Collectanea that Clare College possessed in his time a large number of books, of which there is no trace now. Very similar is the case of Duke Humphrey's collection of 600 volumes, which he presented to the University of Oxford. Three of these volumes now remain in the Bodleian, and possibly a dozen may be in existence in other libraries. What does it all mean ? Who is responsible for the wholesale destruction which these facts imply ? I am afraid the answer is only too clear. We have to thank the Commissioners appointed under Edward VI. to reform the Universities. Some- thing of their methods of procedure may be learnt from Mr Macray's Annals of the Bodleian Library. More can be inferred from the facts I have been citing.

CORPUS CHRISTI MSS. 5

I must turn now to the general results of the investigation of the Corpus Christi MSS. Out of the 482 volumes cata- logued by Nasmyth it is possible to say something about the origin of nearly 200 : further, we can set aside close upon 100 books as being late documents or Oriental MSS. So that about 180 of the vellum MSS. remain at present unassigned to any ancient monastic or private owner.

The largest contributors to the collection are the two Canterbury libraries — of Christ Church Priory and St Augus- tine's Abbey. I assign 47 volumes to the former and 26 to the latter. Next come — Norwich Priory with 18 volumes, Worcester with 9, Bury with a possible 7, Dover with 6, Exeter with 5 : no other monastery contributes more than 4.

Let us take the Canterbury books first, and of them the contingent from Christ Church Priory. They include some of the most interesting in the library. As famous as any is the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (No. 173) which, though it has lost its fly-leaves and class-mark, is on the strength of internal evidence unanimously allowed to be a Christ Church book ; and indeed can be identified almost with certainty in the fourteenth century catalogue of the Christ Church Library. A new discovery, — the best, perhaps, that I have to show, — is this : No. 46, which contains the Polycraticus and Metalogicon of John of Salisbury, is the very copy which the author presented to St Thomas a Becket, to whom the former of the two treatises is dedicated. On the fly-leaf of this MS. is an inscription, erased but still legible, to the effect that it belonged to St Thomas, and the class-mark in the MS. corresponds accurately with the class-mark assigned in the old Christ Church catalogue to a copy of the two works bequeathed by St Thomas to the Priory. One result of this discovery is that the Corpus Christi MS. must be regarded in future as a primary authority for the text of the books it contains.

Another volume which belonged to an important personage is No. 76. It contains a copy of Radulphus de Diceto, and on the fly-leaf is written Annales Stephani Archiepiscopi. The

6 CORPUS CHRISTI MSS.

owner was Stephen Langton : and like the one last-mentioned the volume is clearly identifiable in the old catalogue. To Canterbury again we can now assign the very handsome Psalter of the French Count Achadeus, written in 884 (No. 272), which is usually to be seen in a show-case in the College Library. The fly-leaves of this book are fragments of account- rolls wherein occur the names of several Kentish villages belonging as I believe to Christ Church.

Again, the Juvencus in uncials (No. 304) must, I have little doubt, be the volume described in an old fragment of a Christ Church catalogue as 'Juvencus in Romana scrip- tura.' This fragmentary catalogue is contained in a MS. in the University Library (li. 3. 12). It belongs to the end of the twelfth century, and has been printed, minus the class- marks annexed to each title, by Mr J. Bass Mullinger, in his History of the University (I. p. 102).

Let us look next at the contingent from St Augustine's Abbey. It is smaller, but it is extremely interesting ; for it includes the uncial Latin Gospels with paintings which, if any, may be called Gregorian. This is numbered 286.

At this point let me digress. There is another fragment of a gospel-book in Celtic hand (No. 197) which used -also to be called a Gregorian book. It gives no indication at present of any former habitat But Bishop Tanner (Bibliotheca Bri- tannica, s.v. Fcelix) speaks of it as having been the property of St Felix the Burgundian, the Apostle of East Anglia. His words are : " as to the Book of the Gospels, now in the library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and formerly in the possession of the monks of Eye, see Leland, Collectanea, iii. 24." The book of which Tanner speaks must be one of the two "Gregorian" MSS., and he cannot, I imagine, have been unaware of the fact that No. 286 contains documents which prove indisputably that it belonged to St Augustine's, for Hickes and Wanley had printed them before he wrote.

We must next consult Leland. In the place mentioned by Tanner we read as follows:

CORPUS CHRISTI MSS.

Monachi Eyenses olim habebant coenobiolum apud Dunwic, oppidum maritimum antiquitiis Dunmoc dic- tum et civitatis nomine insigne, in quo Felix Orientalium Anglorum episcopus sedern habuit. Sed post- quam alio sedes traducta fuit, vete- rem occupabant monachi. Nunc vero ccenobiolum (ut plura ibidem alia) a mare devoratum est. Eyenses adhuc servant Evangeliorum librum, relliquias exhausti coenobioli; et a vulgo ruber liber de Eya vocatur, per quern apud vulgus solenne est iurare. Monachi constanter adfir- mant librum fuisse Felicis, et certe verisimile est. Nam praeterquam quod sit scriptus litteris maiusculis Longobardicis, refert vetustatem mire venerandam.

The monks of Eye once had a cell at Dunwich, a town on the coast anciently called Dunmoc and dis- tinguished by the name of city where Felix, Bishop of the East Angles, had his see. But when the see was transferred elsewhither, the old site was occupied by monks. Now, however,the cell (together with much else (or many others) in the place) has been swallowed up by the sea. The monks of Eye still preserve a Book of the Gospels, a relic of their ruined cell. It is popularly called the Red Book of Eye, and the people are wont to swear by it. The monks constantly affirm that it was Felix's book; and cer- tainly that seems likely enough, for besides the fact that it is written in large (or capital) Lombardic letters, it has an appearance of wonderful great antiquity.

Leland, then, saw at Eye Priory a gospel book in "Lorn- bardic " characters, known as the Red Book of Eye, which was believed to have belonged to St Felix, and had been brought from Dunwich. Now, by "Lombardic" letters we may be confident that Leland did not mean uncials. These he would be apt to call "Roman writing." He might on the other hand very well mean such a Celtic hand as our MS. (no. 197) is written in, — a hand which would not be so familiar to him, and which he would be likely to describe by a somewhat unusual word.

Have we, then, in this fragment a relic, or what was long thought to be a relic, of St Felix ? The question deserves to be looked into. Tanner most unfortunately does not give any of the reasons which led him to speak as if the attribution of our MS. to St Felix were a well-known fact. That he does so speak of it you have heard: and I should be very glad to accept his statement if I could. Only I am afraid there is

8 CORPUS CHRISTI MSS.

some evidence against his view. I have heard on very good authority that the Red Book of Eye which Leland saw was in possession of the municipal authorities of that town until quite recent times ; and that, well within this century, perhaps even in this generation, it had been (by other hands, not those of the corporation) cut up for game-labels ! Whether this last detail be true or not, it is obvious that the story cannot be reconciled with Tanner's assertion that the book or part of it was among the Parker MSS.

Further, there is a rival tradition as to the provenance of no. 197. In it is an inscription (by Parker) stating that it was one of the books sent by Gregory to Augustine and "lately thus mutilated." Moreover, it was generally held that a volume in the Cottonian collection (Otho, C. v), now destroyed, was a part of this same book. It contained the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, and this has parts of Luke and John. The Cottonian MS. was traditionally said to be a Gregorian book. It could not, of course, have been sent from Rome, for it is of Celtic origin : but the tradition of the Canterbury provenance may be a true one. In any case the modern story from Eye, coupled with this Canterbury tradition, stands in the way of our identifying the Corpus MS. no. 197 with the Gospels of St Felix.

A possible explanation of Tanner's assertion has occurred to me. It is conceivable that he has confused the Red Book of Eye with the Red Book of the Peak in Derbyshire. This latter is certainly at Corpus Christi. As was the case with the Book of Eye, people were wont to swear by it: indeed the belief was that whoever swore falsely upon it would run mad. It is true that the Derbyshire book is not a book of the Gospels, and that the mistake would be rather a careless one for Tanner : but I feel that it is a very possible one.

But one word more. Supposing that in spite of the ob- jections adduced above, it should hereafter transpire that Tanner was right, and that no. 197 is the Red Book of Eye, or a fragment of it, it may be asked how it could have come about that a specimen of Celtic art such as this is should be

CORPUS CHRISTI MSS. 9

found at Dunwich ia Suffolk. As it happens, we can point to the presence of one rather famous Irishman in that part of the world and near the date of St Felix. I mean the seer of whom Bede tells us so much, St Fursey. And where there was one of that nation there may very well have been more.

We return to the books from S. Augustine's, meaning to digress again very soon. The handsome MS. of Homer (no. 81), written late in the fifteenth century, has a long note in it in Archbishop Parker's hand, to the effect that he found it in possession of a baker at Canterbury, who said that it came from St Augustine's Abbey. I take leave to doubt whether the baker was right, for I do not find, at St Augustine's, traces of Greek learning in anything like the same degree as at Christ Church. At the latter place Prior William Sellyng had a notable collection of Greek (and Latin) books which he had brought from Italy : and the baker may very easily have been mistaken as to which of the two Canterbury monasteries his Homer had come from.

To proceed. The Homer has on its title page, among other ornaments, the name ©EOAHPOX in gold capitals on a blue ground, surrounded by a laurel wreath. Hence Parker concluded that it had belonged to the famous Archbishop Theodore, at the end of the seventh century. Nay, more, taking, I imagine, this particular MS. as his standard, he has written in several other Greek MSS. an inscription to the same effect. A xiiith century Psalter (no. 480), and a xvth century Euripides on paper (no. 403) at Corpus Christi, and a xivth or xvth century Psalter at Trinity College, are thus equipped, and, more astonishing still, a xvth century Cicero written in Italy in a Roman hand (no. 158) is assigned to Archbishop Theodore. This is sad work. The only value of these ridiculous inscriptions lies in the fact that they show pretty clearly that the books containing them must have come from Canterbury. And we cannot be far wrong in attributing their presence there to the influence of the scholar and humanist already mentioned — William Sellyng — whose real name seems to have been Tilley, Selling being merely the

10 CORPUS CHRISTI M8S.

name of the Kentish village from which he came. The volumes I have mentioned are, I expect, nearly all waifs and strays from the Library he collected in Italy. The bulk of it perished, as is well known, in an accidental fire on the occasion of Dr Leigh ton's visit to the priory of Christ Church.

The subject of Greek learning in the middle ages is always interesting, and there is another book at Corpus Christi which has a bearing thereupon. This is a Psalter of the xiiith cen- tury (no. 468) in which the Latin and Greek versions — both in Latin letters — are written in parallel columns. The fly-leaf is inscribed Psalterium Grecum Gregorii. At first sight this looks like an attribution to Pope Gregory : but that is not so. An examination of the Kalendar prefixed to the text shows that the book belonged to a monastery where a great deal of honour was paid to St Yvo. That monastery must be Ramsey. We have a Catalogue of the Ramsey library (Chronicon Abbatiae Rameseiensis, Rolls Series), and in it, under the heading of Libri Gregorii Priori*, the entry Psalteriwm Grecum occurs twice over.

It is worth noticing that this same Abbey was remarkable for the number of Hebrew books it possessed. The Catalogue enumerates nearly all the books of the Old Testament in Hebrew.

The account of their acquisition, given by the faithful Leland (Comm. de scriptt. Britt. s.v. Gregorius Venantodunensis), is interesting. It was in the reign of Edward I., he says, when the Jews were expelled, the synagogues desecrated, and their belongings sold. At Huntingdon and Stamford their books were put up to auction. Gregory of Huntingdon (this same Prior Gregory who owned the Greek Psalter) hurried to the spot and secured all the books he could. He was not the only Ramsey man who profited by the sale. The Abbey Catalogue shows us that a monk, Robert Dodeford, also possessed many Hebrew books. This was in the xiiith century. Early in the xvth Ramsey produced a scholar, Laurence Holbeach, who devoted himself to the study of Prior Gregory's books, and to such good purpose that he was able to compile a Hebrew

CORPUS CHRISTI MSS. 11

dictionary. The fate of this work is obscure. It was taken away from Ramsey by the "excessive diligence" of Robert Wake field, whom Leland briefly, but no doubt adequately, describes as a polypus. As a matter of fact, he was a Cam- bridge man who became Professor of Hebrew at Oxford, while his younger brother Thomas was the first Hebrew Professor here. Robert seems to have produced a Chaldee Lexicon1, but not a Hebrew one.

The last I need notice of the St Augustine's books at Corpus Christi are two handsome volumes of the Speculum Historiale of Vincent "of Beauvais" (nos. 13, 14), given to the Abbey in the xivth century by Abbot Thomas (Findon or Poucyn). They are the second and third volumes of a set of four : and they afford a good example of the useful or at least satisfactory results of a systematic exploration of collections of MSS., for 1 have found the first volume of the same set at St John's College. The fourth has not yet turned up. I will add — for it is germane to the subject — that St John's possesses the second volume of a Josephus of the xiith century, from Christ Church, Canterbury — a splendid book. I find the first volume in the University Library. And again, I find, also at St John's, two MSS. once the property of Peterhouse, but given to their present owners as long ago as the reign of Charles I. They are two copies of Quintilian, and are among the books which I most regretted to find missing from the Peterhouse Library.

The next Library which I shall mention is that of a monastery intimately connected with Christ Church, Can- terbury, namely, Dover Priory, which was a cell to that great house. It had a very good collection of books, whereof the catalogue, made at the end of the xivth century, exists in the Bodleian (Bodl. 920) and has been transcribed for me. Six volumes at Corpus Christi are from Dover: the best is a magnificent Bible in two volumes, written in the xiith century (nos. 3, 4). I have also ascertained that the famous Irish Psalter at St John's was once at Dover Priory.

1 This with other oriental MSS. was (retributively) stolen from his house at Moorgate by Robert Collier, a Carthusian monk. So says Tanner.

12 CORPUS CHRISTI MSS.

Of the five books from Exeter, four were probably among those given by Bishop Leofric to his cathedral in the xith century. Others are at Trinity College, in the University Library, and at the Bodleian. The most famous of them all, which still remains at Exeter, is the collection of Anglo-Saxon poetry, newly edited by Mr Gollancz, and known as the Exeter Book.

Leofric's gifts of books amounted in all to something over fifty volumes. The list of them in Anglo-Saxon was first printed by Wanley (in Hickes's Thesaurus, II. 80). Twelve of these exist, to my knowledge, and there are several others, e.g. the Bede at Corpus Christi (no. 41), which are not to be found in the old list

A small list of ancient English books occurs in an xith century MS. at Corpus Christi (no. 367) which seems to come from Worcester. I do not find that it has been noticed. It consists of an English Passional, two "Dialogues" (ie. copies of Gregory's Dialogi) in English, an "oddan boc," a Marty rology, two Psalters, two "Pastorals" (i.e. Gregory, De cura Pastorali), the Rule (of St Benedict), and a Barontus, that is, the Vision of St Barontus of Pistoia, a sixth century book which was very popular in early mediaeval times.

Norwich — the Cathedral Priory, at least — contributes pro- bably 18 books. Some of these were gifts of Adam Easton, afterwards Bishop, and Cardinal of St Cecilia. He died in Italy, and sent home five barrels of books which he had collected there. Those which bear his name at Corpus Christi were not of this number: they were written and presented while he was still a monk. Two others of the Norwich books belonged to Simon Bozoun, Prior. Curiously enough, we have a list of his private Library in a MS. in the British Museum. It consisted of 31 volumes, four of which are now known to exist.

The Norwich library was a very large one. Bale possessed the old Register of it, of which Wanley speaks as if he himself had seen it. Unfortunately he was mistaken. He had confused it with the catalogue of Ramsey Abbey. Probably the majority of the extant Norwich books are in the University Library,

CORPUS CHRISTI MSS. 13

whither they came by the instrumentality of Dean Gardiner in the sixteenth century, and of Bishop Moore in the eighteenth. At Norwich itself I only know of one.

Of the books from Bury St Edmunds I have treated at length in another place. The other abbeys of eastern England whose libraries are represented at Corpus Christi are Ely, from which came three volumes, Anglesey, which gives one, Cog- geshall (four), Crowland (perhaps one), Leiston in Suffolk (two), Peterborough (two), Thetford (one), and Thorney (one, doubt- ful). St Albans yields five volumes only, and I am surprised that the number is so small. It has not yet appeared what became of the bulk of their books. Their library must have been very large and important, but no catalogue of it survives (Bishop Bale possessed one, but where it is no one knows), and no collection that I have examined contains more than a few volumes from this great abbey. The Peterborough library, of which we have a catalogue, is in even worse case.

Another striking feature in Parker's collection is the rarity of books from the northern abbeys. One volume from Hexham, one from Jervaulx, one from Rievaulx, and one from Salley are all that I can find at present.

The non- monastic or private owners of the MSS. deserve more attention than I can give them here. One book seems to have belonged to Duke Humphrey : I have not identified it among his gifts to Oxford. Another great collector, re- presented here by one volume — was John Gunthorp, Dean of Wells, who died in 1498. He was one of the early humanists in England, had lived long in Italy, and got together a number of books there. Among them was a large portion of the library of John Free, an English scholar, who used, though wrongly, to be credited with having translated Diodorus Siculus into Latin. The bulk of Gunthorp's library was given to Jesus College, but only one or two of his books are to be found there now, and they are not of Italian origin, nor very in- teresting. Trinity, St John's and the University Library have all of them volumes once the property of Gunthorp. And his is a name to be much observed when one is engaged in hunting

14 CORPUS CHRISTI MSS.

through a collection of MSS., for there is no doubt that the owner of it was an interesting man.

I do not see that any very important general conclusions can be drawn from this investigation of the Corpus Christi MSS. We see that Archbishop Parker did not employ any cut-and-dried plan in forming his collection. As Archbishop he was connected with Canterbury, and from Canterbury he obtained more MSS. than from any other single place. For the rest, he picked up books where he could : and my list shews that almost all of them came from the southern half of England.

I will add, in conclusion, that I can confidently recommend this branch of research to anyone who is prepared to be inter- ested in ancient books; and I should like to accompany my recommendation with the injunction,

Always note the opening words of Hie second leaf1.

On f. 1 of text in a wreath on blue ground is the name eeoAcopoc in gold. Parker writes a long note to say the MS. belonged to Abp Theodore in cent, vii, that it came from St Aug. Cant, and that he got it from a baker. At end are medallions of Homer and Athene.

Parker's note is as follows :

Hie liber Theodori repertus in monasterio diui Augustini Cantuariensis post dissolucionem et quasi proiectus inter laceras chartas illius cenobii, quern cumulum chartarum scrutatus quidam pistor quondam eiusdem cenobii invenit et domum portavit, monachis et aliis idem cenobium inhabitantibus aut fugatis aut inde recedentibus. Sed tandem foeliciter in manus Matthaei Cantuariensis Archiepiscopi hie liber devenit. quern ut in gen tern thesaurum apud se asseruat. et reponendum vult vel in communi Bibliotheca Academiae Cantabrigie vel in fideli custodia magistri Collegii (qui pro tempore fuerit) Corporis Christi et beate marie ibidem.
