quite closely with the Sherborne Pontifical or so-called 'Ponlifical o[ St. Dunstan' (B .N. MS lat. 9-13). The content o[ the ponti[ical generally is very similar to lhat of Lh e Ponti ficale Lanaletense (Rouen, Bibi. Munic., MS 368); Lhc itali cized numbers in lhc li sl of con tents below identify the corresponding texts in G. H . Doblc's edilion of the Ponlificale Lanale-tense (I-I. B. S. LXX IV 1937). The codex was discovered in 1970 in the stables of Brodie Cas lle, Forres, in Scotland, and has apparenlly been in Morayshirc since alloul J 700. The only owner whose name occurs in the MS is Hu gh Anderson, who was minis ter of Lh e parish of Drainie near Elgin from 1698 until his death in 174 9 . Anderson wrote his name on fol. 1, with the date 1700, again on the upper cover with th e date 1707, and elsewh ere. Subsequent-ly it may perhaps have been in the library of Sir Robert Gordon of Gordonsto un, 4th Bart., t he patron of the living of Drainie. Its history prior to 1700 is unknown . The codex is com-plete except for a few missing leaves: prohably two before [oJ. 1, a singl e leaf afler each of folic,s 4, 39, 56, 68, 102 and 141, and a few (perhaps t en?) after [ol. 14 '1.

Add. 57528, 'Pontifical of Apamea ': Roman Pontifical of Apamea in Syria, s. XIII in.

This pontifical was probably intended for an archbishop of Apamea, the metropolitan see of Syria Secunda in the Patriarchate of Antioch. Although Andrieu entertains the possi-bility that it may perhaps have been written for a bishop of Valanea (now: Baniyas), suf-fragan of Apamea, he, like Marlene, refers to it as 'the Pontifical of Apamea.' It was prob-ably written in 1214 (or shortly before). Although its Syrian provenance is clear, its con-tents are purely Roman and conform quite closely to what Andrieu call s 'le pontifical romain du X II s iec le'; in the list of contents below, the ordines are identified by noman numerals according to the numbers which Andrieu assigns to them in his ed ition (Pont. II). In the

Cotton Claud. A. III: Fragments of Three English Pontificals of Lile Province of Canterbury, s. X I -X I I .

This codex is a collection of Lexls, most of which com e from pontificals, but not all of which arc liturgical. In addition Lo collec tions of privileges of Chris t Church, Canterbury, and synodal decrees, it consists of fragments of three d ifferent pontificals: (I) a pontifical or the Province of Canterbury, possibly of Sa lisbury (attributed to Bishop Osmund, 1078-99), perhaps written at Christ Church, Canterbury, s. x 1; (II) another pontifical of the Prov-ince of Canterbury, perhaps of Winch es ter, s. x cx x1n; (III) a third pontifical of the Prov-ince of Canterbury, probably written a t Chri st Church, Canterbury, in Lhe middle of th e twelfth cen tury, of which only th e coronation ordo is includ ed. In the !is l of contents below, the citation of these Homan numerals indicates which item belongs Lo which pontifica l. Frere (P. S. 95) assu mes that the three fragm ents cons lilule a sin gle ponlifical of a n arch-bishop of Canterbury, but such an assumption is less than convincin g. An aulhorilalivc s tudy and edition of the pontifical fragments in the MS is now being prepared by D . H.

MS 'Abbot Lytlington's Missal ': Missal, with Benedic liona l and Ponlif ical Offices of Wes tminster, s. X IV.

This MS is not a pontifical, but a full missal. It should, however, be cited here since it contains a bencdictional and several, mostly monastic, pontifical offices. IL was written for Nicholas Lytlington, Abbot of Westm inster (13G2-l386), who presented it as a gift to the Abbey. According to the Accompt Tioll of the Abbot's Treasurer at Westminster for the year 1384 the MS was written by Thomas Preston, very probably not a monk of th e Abbey, over a period of two years (presumably 1382-1384), for which he received 4. a nd cloth of livery worth 20s. Th e total expenditure for the book, including the cost of writ in g, illumin-ating, and bind ing was 34. 14s. 7d. The book is bound in two volumes, divided at the beginn ing of the canon (fol. 156); the bencdictional and the pontifical offi ces arc in Vol. II. The benediclional agrees generally with Archbishop Peckh am's, but th e ecclesiastical offices for the Purification, Lent, and Holy \Veck arc inclu ded at the appropria te calcndric places.

Unanim ily has not been reached on th e provenance and dale of this pontifical. The catalogue cautiously describes iL as sec11nd11m ritus ecc les iae Sarisburiensis. Although Hen-derson notes the grea t s i111ilar ily Lo the Ponlil'ical of E dmund Lacy at Exeter , he explicitly rules out an Exeter provenance . Frere attributes it to Canterbury. Van D ijk has fo und an indication for the origin of the volume on p. 189 and classifies it as 'Sarum type - Cathe-dral of St. Peter, Exeter (?)- 15th Cent. '; his judgment is the most reliab le.

5: Italian Pontifical .1.Viissal, 1536.

This MS is a Roman missal, specifically intended for ponlifical use. It was written in Italy in 1536 for Bernard Closs, Archbishop of Trent and Homan cardinal. Although not a pontifical, it is cited here because Frere's cursory dcscriplion does not preclude the pos-sibility that some pontifical ordines may be included in it. According Lo a kind note from the Librarian of Kcble College in answer to my inquiry, the MS is from lhe Liddon Colleclion . Ff. 128; 39 x 29 cm.

Contents (from Frere): Pontifical high mass (2). Masses for principal festivals and St. Vigilius, each including the ordinary (17).

MAGDALEN COLLEGE

226: Pontifical of Canterbury, s. XI I.

Both Henderson and Frere ascribe this MS to the See of Hereford, hut this is mistaken. In his edition of the MS, I-I. A. Wilson demonstrates convincingly that it was intended for the Archdiocese of Canterbury; in the consecration of an abbot the oath of obedience is taken to sancle ecclesie dorobernensi e;usque vicariis and the saints in the litany point to the See of Canterbury. The main part of the pontifical is written in a hand of the second half of the twelfth century, but there are several later additions and numerous marginal notes of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. In the fourteenth century the pontifical was in the possession of a Dominican house, possibly at Hereford, where it presumably was still in 144 8. Magdalen College acquired it sometime (perhaps only shortly) before 1718. Three
