Diaz, the Spanish reformer, by bis own brother. This must have been printed in 1546,

Edinburgh, 1869 ? The Book of Deer is a vellum MS. of the ninth century written in Irish characters and containing a defective copy of the Gospels in the ante-Hieronymian Latin text. Mr. Stuart believes it to have been produced in a Pictish monastery, but it will be safer to ascribe it to some Gaelic house founded by the monks of Iona.--Some of the facsimiles give portions of the text; others reproduce the decorative features of the ancient book.
