A _pandect_ was the whole Bible, Old and New Testament, as its name, “containing everything,” implies. A _bibliotheca_, like our word “library,” meant both a room or case where books were stored, and also the collection of books in the place; hence it might be used for the pandect, on the ground that it was a collection of all the books of the Bible. [234] Wattenbach and Dümmler, 223-4. [235] See on this point pp. 86-9. [236] See my _Anglo-Saxon Coronation Forms, and the use of the word Protestant in the Coronation Oath_, S. P. C. K. [237] That is, if the Pope has recovered from the attempt to blind him and cut out his tongue. [238] Presumably, if new charges are made against the Pope. [239] A reference to Pliny’s Natural History, where wolves are credited with this power; see also Virgil, _Ecl._ ix. 53, 54. [240] A reference to Leo’s denial of the charges against him at Paderborn, and also to St. Peter’s denial. We must credit Alcuin with having seen that he would be taken to mean that one was as true as the other. The denial was renewed at Rome, see p. 189. [241] See p. 208. [242] St. Martin’s at Tours. [243] His pupils. [244] See p. 72. [245] It is a curious coincidence that the ivory comb found in St. Cuthbert’s coffin, provided by Westone after the Norman Conquest, had—as nearly as we can count—sixty teeth, sixteen large and forty-four small. Alcuin’s comb may have had the same double row of teeth, with a knob in the shape of a lion’s head projecting from the ends of the central ivory.

[255] There were two monasteries with this dedication. One of these, _Iuvavense_, was at Salzburg, and probably it is the one to which reference is made. [256] See p. 168. [257] It is probable that he was called Cuckoo from the refrain of some favourite song of his. The Teutonic name for the “bird of spring” was not a likely personal name, any more than cuckoo is with us. [258] See also Epistle 186 in Appendix A. [259] Here, and in Ep. 108, to Arno, Alcuin combines two phrases from the Song of Solomon, v. 7 and 8: “The watchmen have wounded me,” “I am sick of love.” In the letter to Arno he appears to quote the actual words of a text in his possession: _vulnerata karitate ego sum_; in the present letter he writes _caritatis calamo vulneratus sum_. The Vulgate has _vulneraverunt me_—_amore langueo_. See p. 275.
