Walther, £150. Rothomagi, G. Bernard et J. Cousin, 1517 The extraordinary rarity of all the York Service Books is too well-known to require any comment. Of this volume, no other copy has been recorded, and it is probably unique. One feature of especial interest is the great quantity of English matter which is found in it. There are long and explicatory headings, recounting, in English, and with much greater diffuseness than we see in other books of "Hours," the origin, nature, and object of the various prayers. There are several MS. notes which were written probably about 1550, and which betray the hand of a bitterly hostile Reformer. The absent leaf was missing more than a century ago, as a note to that effect appears at the bottom of the preceding page (probably in Herbert's handwriting of about the year 1760). 18076 KEMPIS.

Foucault in gold on sides, EXTREMELY RARE, £84. Paris, J. Lambert, 1493 The name of the printer and date are partially erased. The beauty of the paintings, the value of the book as a nearly unique vellum-impression, and the bit of literary history embodied in its title (copied below) invest this volume with a singularly interesting character. The portion of the intitulation given above is succeeded by the words which follow here :'lequel a este par aucuns iusques a psent attribue a saint Bernard, ou maistre Jehan gerson. pose que soit autremēt.

About 1470 This volume is not the complete Missal, and is singularly arranged. The Commune Sanctorum is placed at the beginning, followed by the second part (Easter to Epiphany) of the Ordinarium de Tempore, and the Canon of the Mass stands separately at the end of the book. 18078 COTELERII (J.
