1. GALTERIALEXANDRIDES (sic) DE GESTIS ALEXANDRI MAGNI,'

The preface begins (fol. 1):

Moris est usitati...

Ends (fol. 1b):

...totum opus per capitula distingamus (sic).

The poem begins (fol. 2):

Primus Aristotelis imbutum nectare sacro

Scribit Alexandrum, sceptrisque insignit et armis.

Ends (fol. 112):

Fudit ut hostiles possis contempnere linguas.

After this follow 7 hexameters, being a dedication to Bishop Guillermus, beginning:

Suscipe Galteri studiosum magne laborem

Presul, et hanc vatis cinctus tua tempora sacre

Non dedigneris ederam conjungere mitre.

Then follows a note, 'Explicit liber Alexandri Magni versificatus, qui quondam dicioni sue et imperio totum mundum subiugavit, scriptus et finitus anno Domini M.CCC°. sexagesimo quarto, die Ix. mensis Octobris.'

A MS. note occurs at the beginning of the volume, Vide Barthium (Adversar. Lib. 11. x.). [Auctorem] monachum vocat non ineruditum. Citat Sylvester Giraldus.-J. WASSE.'

Mille (sic: leg. milite) bella geras tantam consumere. (Lib. vIII. 324.) The remainder of the work is wanting; and some lines of the eighth book (294-307) are also absent.

No notice is taken of this MS. in Weber's catalogue of the MSS. of Lucan prefixed to his edition. Lips. 1828.

A note at the end states that this book belonged to Rotheram.

Gg. IV. 6.

A folio, on parchment, 137 leaves, double columns of about 36 lines each, well preserved and neatly written in a hand of the xivth century: enriched in the early part by many illuminations. The MS. has neither title nor colophon.

Begins (fol. 1a):

LE ROMAN DE LA ROSE.

Maintes gens dient qu'en songes
Ne sont que fables et menconges
Mes len puet bien tel songe songer
Qui ne sont mie menconger.

Ends (fol. 137 a) :

Par grant ioliuete cueilli

La fleur du beau Rosier fleury.

Ainsi oi la rose vermaille

The joint authors of this poem were Guillaume de Lorris and Jehan de Meung, or Clopinel, the latter of whom flourished in the 13th century: see Roquefort's Glossaire, 11. 764, à Paris, 1808.

Fairly written in a hand of the early part of the xvIIth century; the lines in a page varying from about 36 to 40.
