_Interpretationes somniorum Danielis prophete revelate ab angelo misso a deo_ (IA.11607, and IA.18164 is very similar). The Incipit in the second edition is given in more nearly correct form in Sloane 3281, 13-14th century, fol. 39r, “Omnes homines tradebant sompnia que tradebant (?) ut solveret propheta daniel....” Another opening, found in the MSS, states that the princes of Babylonia asked the prophet Daniel to interpret their dreams. See Digby 86, late 13th century, fols. 34v-40r, “Daniel propheta petebatur a principiis civitatis Babilone ut somnia que eis videbantur solvere (solveret?). Tunc sedit et hec omnia scribat (et) tradidit populo ad legendum.” The first two lines of interpretation are: “Arma in somniis portare securitatem significat; Arcum tendere et sagittas mittere lucrum vel laborem significat.” (“To bear arms in dreams signifies security; To draw bow and shoot arrows signifies gain or labor.”) Bodleian 177 (Bernard 2072), late 14th century, fol. 64r, opens somewhat differently, “Danielem prophetam cum esset in Babilonia petebant principes,” and its first two lines of interpretation are: “Aves cum se pugnare videre fecundiam significat; Aves in sompniis apprehendere lucrum significat.” (“To see birds fight among themselves signifies fecundity; To catch birds in one’s dreams signifies gain.”) [929] For a printed edition see the second item in the preceding note. CLM 7806, 14th century, fol. 153, where as in the printed edition it follows a _Dream-Book of Daniel_. Vatican Palat. 330, 15th century, fol. 303v. [930] For instance, Chartres 90, end of tenth century, fol. 16, “Somnium Danielis prophete. Luna I. Quidquid videris ad gaudium pertinet. Luna II et III et IIII. Bonus affectus erit,” etc. [931] Tiberius A-III, fols. 25v-30v; Titus D-XXVI, fols. 11v-16r; Sloane 475, fols. 217v-218r, breaking off in the midst of the letter B. In Harleian 3017, fol. iv-, however, the lines of interpretation are not in alphabetical order. [932] This is the method in the second part of the printed edition numbered IA.8754 in the British Museum. See also: BN 7453, 14th century, #3, Ars psalterii a Daniele inventa; BN 7349, 15th century, Danielis experimenta sive modus divinandi ad aperturam psalterii et conjiciendi per somnia. [933] Ashmole 361, 14th century, fols. 158v-159. [934] Sloane 3281, fol. 39r; also in IA.31744, except that the names are misspelled. [935] St. John’s 172, 15th century, fols. 99v-123, where the work is rather appropriately preceded by two treatises on Ars dictaminis. Our author, according to Fabricius, _Bibl. Med. et Inf. Lat._, Padua, 1754, IV, 90, also wrote _De Stylo dictionario_. Other MSS of the _Sompniale_ are CUL Dd. iv. 35, 15th century, fols. 49r-73v, and Ii. vi. 34. [936] The first 18 letters were printed at Altdorf, 1690, by J. C. Wagenseil, and in Fabricius, _Cod. Pseud. Vet. Test._, 1713, I, 441-96. For letters 19 and 20 see Fabricius, _Bibl. Med. et Inf. Lat._, 1754, IV, 91-4.
