[42] At vero hoc audiens Colcius tempus et horam _in tabula_ describens.--Adamnan, 66. Columba is said to have blessed one hundred pólaires or tablets (_Leabhar Breac_, fo. 16-60; Stokes (M.), 51). The boy Benen, who followed Patrick, bore tablets on his back (_folaire_, corrupt for _pólaire_).--Stokes (W.), _T. L._, 47. Patrick gave to Fiacc a case containing a tablet. _Ib._ 344. An example of a waxed tablet, with a case for it, is in the Museum of the Royal Irish Academy. The case is a wooden cover, divided into hollowed-out compartments for holding the styles. This specimen dates from the thirteenth or fourteenth century. Slates and pencils were also in use for temporary purposes.--Joyce, i. 483.

[44] _Trans. R. I. Acad._, vol. xviii. 1838.

[45] Stokes (W.), _T. L._, 75. The terms used for satchels are _sacculi_ (Lat.), and _tiag_, or _tiag liubhair_ or _teig liubair_ (Ir.). There has been some confusion between _pólaire_ and _tiag_, the former being regarded as a leather case for a single book, the latter a satchel for several books. This distinction is made in connection with the ancient Irish life of Columba, which is therefore made to read that the saint used to make _cases_ and _satchels_ for books (_pólaire ocus tiaga_), _v._ Adamnan, 115. Cf. Petrie, _Round Towers_, 336-7. But the late Dr. Whitley Stokes makes _pólaire_ or _pōlire_, or the corruption _folaire_, derive from _pugillares_ = writing tablets.--Stokes (W.), _T. L._, cliii. and 655. This interpretation of the word gives us the much more likely reading that Columba made _tablets_, and _satchels_ for books.

[48] Mr. Allen, in his admirable volume on _Celtic Art_, p. 208, in this series, says cumdachs were peculiar to Ireland. But they were made and used elsewhere, and were variously known as _capsae_, _librorum coopertoria_ (_e.g._ ... librorumque coopertoria; quædam horum nuda, quædam vero alia auro atque argento gemmisque pretiosis circumtecta.--_Acta SS._, _Aug._ iii. 659c), and _thecae_. Some of these cases were no doubt as beautifully decorated as the Irish cumdachs. William of Malmesbury asserts that twenty pounds and sixty marks of gold were used to make the coopertoria librorum Evangelii for King Ina’s chapel. At the Abbey of St. Riquier was an “Evangelium auro Scriptum unum, cum capsa argentea gemmis et lapidibus fabricata. Aliae capsae evangeliorum duae ex auro et argento paratae.”--Maitland, 212. In 1295 St. Paul’s Cathedral possessed a copy of the Gospels in a case (capsa) adorned with gilding and relics.--Putnam, i. 105-6.

[60] B. M. Reg. I. E. vi. may be a part of the Gregorian Bible, or the second copy of the Gospels mentioned above, if this second copy is not Corpus Christi, Camb. 286. Corpus C. 286 is a seventh century book, certainly from St. Augustine’s; it was probably brought to England in the time of Theodore, and though it may be one of the books referred to above, is, therefore, not Augustinian. The Psalter bearing the silver images is “most likely” Cott. Vesp. A. 1, an eighth century manuscript; it is, therefore, not Augustinian, although it may be a copy of the original Psalter given by Gregory.--James, lxvi.

[61] Known as Codex E, or the Laudian Acts (Laud. Gr. 35). Bede refers to a Greek manuscript of the Acts in his _Retractationes_; possibly this is the actual copy. The last page of the book bears the signature “Theodore”; did Archbishop Theodore bring the volume to England? “It is at least safe to say that the presence of such a book in England in Bede’s time can hardly be entirely independent of the influence of Theodore or of Abbot Hadrian.”--James (M. R.), xxiii.

[72] Ceolfrid, Benedict Biscop’s successor, added a number of books to the library, among them three copies of the Vulgate, and one of the older version. One copy of the Vulgate Ceolfrid took with him to Rome (716) to give to the Pope. He died on the way. The codex did not go to Rome; now, it is in the Laurentian Library, Florence, where it is known as the Codex Amiatinus. The writing is Italian, or at any rate foreign, so it must have been imported, or written at Jarrow by foreign scribes. This volume is the chief authority for the text of Jerome’s translation of the Scriptures.

[73] _H. E._, v. 24.

[74] Bede frequently quotes Cicero, Virgil, and Horace; usually selecting some telling phrase, _e.g._ “caeco carpitur igni” (_H. E._ ii. 12). In his _De Natura rerum_ he owes a good deal to Pliny and Isidore. In his commentaries on the Scriptures he displays an extent of reading which we have no space to give any idea of. His chronologies were based on Jerome’s edition of Eusebius, on Augustine and Isidore. In his _H. E._ he uses “Pliny, Solinus, Orosius, Eutropius, Marcellinus Comes, Gildas, probably the _Historia Brittonum_, a _Passion of St. Alban_, and the _Life of Germanus of Auxerre_ by Constantius”; while he refers to lives of St. Fursa, St. Ethelburg, and to Adamnan’s work on the Holy Places. Cf. Sandys, i. 468; _Camb. Lit._, i. 80-81. Bede also got first-hand knowledge: the Lindisfarne records provided him with material on Cuthbert; information came to him from Canterbury about Southern affairs and from Lastingham about Mercian affairs. Nothelm got material from the archives at Rome for him.

[78] _MS. Cott. Tib._ B xi.--a copy of Alfred’s version of the _Cura_, or what is left of it--has been connected with Archbishop Plegmund, the evidence being a Saxon inscription on the manuscript.

[90] Most old English poems are preserved in unique manuscripts, sometimes not complete, but in fragments; two fragments, for example, were found in the bindings of other books.--Warton, ii. 7. In 1248, only four books in English were at Glastonbury, and they are described as old and useless.--John of G., 435; Ritson, i. 43. About fifty years later only seventeen such books were in the big library at Canterbury.--James (M. R.), 51. A striking illustration of the disuse of the vernacular among the religious is found in an Anglo-Saxon Gregory’s _Pastoral Care_, which is copiously glossed in Latin, in two or three hands. This manuscript, now in Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, No. 12, came from Worcester Priory.--James^{17}, 33.

[91] Becker, 199, 257.

[92] In an eleventh century manuscript in Trinity College Library, Cambridge (MS. B. 16, 44), is an inscription, perhaps by Lanfranc himself, recording that he brought it from Bec and gave it to Christ Church.

[93] At the end of the manuscript of Cassian is written: “Hucusque ego Lanfrancus correxi.”--_Hist. Litt. de la France_, vii. 117. At the end of the Ambrose (_Hexaemeron_) the note reads, “Lanfrancus ego correxi.”
