Notes

On the first leaf is the name "William Armiger, natus fuit 1569 sepult. 1638 ap"; "Stuck to the cover is a leaf of a service-book with a lesson for St Vincent and music on a four line stave (xii). There is also a slip of an early xivth cent. MS. containing one column on each side of a French version of 2 Maccabees e.g. Ceus qui o lui estoient et les despecierent par pieces et puis lur coulpirent les chies et les giterent hors. En toz ces choses seit deus benoiz qui a destruit les desloiaus pur ce que nous fussioms deliurés etc. At the end are two leaves of other MSS: 1. Part of a leaf of a xiiith cent. Vulgate in double columns, containing parts of John viii-xi. 2. A leaf of a Breviary (xvth cent. English) with lessons for St Lucy on the exposed side." Table of contents contains works that are now missing "The missing portions of the manuscript came into the hands of J. O. Halliwell, who sold them to Rodd, from whom they were purchased by the British Museum in 1838. They now form MS. Egerton 843, ff. 48"
