Libri impressi cum notis manuscriptis—IVUnder the title ‘A South German “Sammelband” of the Fifteenth Century’ the present writer recently published an analysis of a composite volume of early printed books and manuscript texts in the Pierpont Morgan Library. Another volume of the same sort also found in the Morgan Library (PML 22222) presents a similar problem for investigation; the results of such study seem sufficiently important to justify the publication of the pertinent details. Only one other manuscript of but one of the eleven manuscript texts found in the volume is listed as being in America, thus indicating that these works are not of common occurrence. Neither the incipits nor the titles are noted in the standard works of reference, though the literary contents of the volume are varied in scope and interest.

Under their number 1881, Carleton Brown and Rossell Hope Robbins listed ten manuscripts which contain the romance of Titus and Vespasian written in couplet form. Since the publication of the Index, however, at least two more manuscripts of this work have come to light, the Earl of Derby (Knowsley Hall) codex and another recently acquired by the Pierpont Morgan Library. The present investigation concerns the latter manuscript, for which the following description may be supplied:M 898, collection: The Pierpont Morgan Library, New York. Manuscript on vellum (5 5/8 ⋉ 3 7/8 inches). Collation: a-m8 n5, wanting al = 100 leaves. 20 lines. Written (black ink with chapter headings or résumés in red, and rubrication in blue) in England in the fifteenth century. Bound in nineteenth-century brown morocco by F. Bedford. With the book-plate of Sir Henry Hope Edwardes (his library was sold at Christie's, 20 May 1901).

Epitaphs of somewhat greater literary and historic interest than those usually met with are to be found in two volumes in the Pierpont Morgan Library. Though one was written down in a mediaeval manuscript and the other relates to an English nobleman who died early in the fifteenth century, they may nevertheless be identified with the era to which the Renaissance Society dedicates itself, since both the epitaphs were probably composed in the sixteenth century and they were set down in the Morgan volumes by two writers of the same century.On the verso of the first fly-leaf of Morgan Ms 771, there is written, in a hand of the early sixteenth century, the following stanza:La terre monde et ciel/ont deuise ma dameAnne qui fut des Roys/diaries et loys femmeLa terre a pris le corps/qui gist soubz ceste LameLe monde ansy Retient/Sa Renommee et famePardurable a Jaymes/Sans estre blasmee de ameEt Le ciel pour sa part a voulu prendre L'ame
