198 Manuscript. BOETHIUS AND GUIDO on Music. Fol. 1 a blank; on

the reverse : O MIŪ QVIDË PERCEPTIO SENSVĪ ITA ita sponte ac naturalit
qbusdam uiuentibus adest. ut .. Fol. 80a, the Treatise of Boethius
ends with . . In non spissis å ut in diatonicis gnibus nusquam una
acuta pportjo maior est duabus GRAVIBVS. The reverse blank. Fol. 8la :
Incipit michrologus Guidonis id est breuis sermo in musica .. Fol. 976,
the Micrologus ends, with the words Si at debent ex industria compo-
nantur. Under this begins immediately the Epistola Beatissimo alq3
dulcissimo fri michaeli Guido .. Fol. 986: . . Ad inueniendū ģ
ignotü cantū beatissime fr. On page 99 is given the diagram for the
use of the notes, as ut, re, mi, fa, etc. Fol. 1026 ends with five lines as
follows : micrologus ē querat, librū enchyridum quem reuerentissimus
oddo abbas luculentissime coinposuit plegat, cuius exemplum in solis
figuris dimisi, quia paruulis condescendi. Boetium sequens in hoc cuius
liber non cantoribus sed solis phylosophis utilis est.

Small folio. A BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN MS. ON VELLUM BY AN ENGLISH
HAND, with large illuminated initials of the interlaced and lacertine style,
numerous coloured diagrams executed with remarkable neatness and
delicacy 80 as to take an ornamental character, and two singular
paintings, one representing two men producing chords by striking an anvil
with metal hammers, another a green-robed minstrel seated on a wicker
chair and playing on a harp of eight strings ; besides which there are
other human figures mingled with the diagrams; bound in old calf
probably for Dr. John Bult, the crowned Tudor-rose, and the initials
I B stamped in gold on the sides

About 1150 150 0 A most interesting volume for its antiquity, its calligraphy, its contents, and its associations. On one of the two fly-leaves at the beginning we recover from a defaced inscription only the words “monachus hujus domus.” At the end there is another defaced inscription older than I B's possession “Thys is Wylliam Tallys boke God save the Kyngke." This is probably of the time of Edward VI, and William must have been related to the famous Thomas Tallis. The quasi-royal binding done for I B would have been justified by Dr. John Bull's position in the Chapel Royal under Queen Elizabeth.

On fol. 72 there is a figure of a man in a blue cap rimmed with gold, a brown cloak fringed with gold, and green hose and shoes. On ful. 24 two circular diagrams are utilised to resemble shields by placing the figures of men behind them who are armed with clubs and strike their shields. Another grotesque picture is wrought out in combination with an elaborate diagrammatic frame of harmonies. Towers are drawn from the corners ; over the upnost arch of the diagram are seen heads of four soldiers in conical helmets with nose-pieces ; and the whole fabric is represented as supported on the back of a large animal evidently intended for an elephant.

MANUSCRIPTS
ILLUMINATED AND HISTORICAL

and Works on Palæography
1 (ALEXANDER GALLUS de VILLA DEI) Scribere clericulis paro doc-

trinale nouellis .. Small folio, MS. of the celebrated Rythmical
Grammar called the Doctrinale, written on 37 leaves of paper, 34 lines to
the page, with illuminated letters and small coloured borders; calf

Written by Ludovicus (at Ferrara about 1430)
There is a memorandum that it was in the library of the Cistercians at Ferrara
in 1446. The escutcheon painted on the first page represents a later ownership, in the

sixteenth century. It is accompanied by the letters S.I.
2 AMERICA. Barry (David) Coleccion de Notas, Extractos, Ytenerarios,

Derroteros y Papeles varios, para formar Ydea del Peru, sacados la
mayor parte de la Guia de Don Joseph Hipolito Unanue 1796-7,
colectados por David Barry, small folio, MS. on paper, 584 pp. with
drawings of maps, tables, and a coloured facsimile of a native design;
old calf

Peru about 1820
Notwithstanding the statement on the title, David Barry went to many sources
besides Unanue for the contents of this valuable MS. Among the best pieces in it
are the accounts of native races, from Chile to Mexico, and of Spanish cruelties.
These may perhaps have served as part of the printed volume of Noticias Secretas
which Barry caused to be printed a few years later. But the illustrations above

referred to seem to have appeared in this MS. only.
2* HERRERA Y LOIZAGA (Joseph Zipriano de) Viaxes de España á

Buenos Ayres, Cordova, Mendoza, Potosi, Chile, y Lima, en 1743 y
1747, small 4to. MS. on paper, 139 pp. with drawings of mountains and
towns, and a large folding view of Cordova ; limp vellum cover About 1745

An unpublished account of considerable interest for the geography of Tucuman
and the inmost regions of the Argentine Confederation.

OLMOS (Andres de) ARTE DE LA LENGUA MEXICANA, small 4to.
MS. on paper, written in Gothic characters, 146 leaves ; vellum wrapper

About 1590
This grammar was written in 1547 by one of the companions of Zumarraga ; but
although Beristain speaks of it as baving been printed in 1555, he seems to have been
mistaken. The first edition was printed at Paris in 1875 from two texts, one being the
MS. now offered, the other a MS. in the Bibliothèque Nationale. The one described
above is not only the better of the two, but it has furthermore 35 leaves of Platicas or
conversations, in Mexican, at the end, which are not in the Bibl. Nat. copy.

It fetched 101 francs at the Pinart sale.
VEA (Antonio de) Relacion Diaria del Viage que se ha echo á la
costa del Estrecho de Magallanes en el recelo de enemigos de Europa ..
