19. An _Historical Roll_, upwards of thirteen feet long, showing the descent of the English Kings, from the expedition of Jason in search of the Golden Fleece to the accession of Edward I (1272). Formerly belonging to the Abbey of St. Mary at York. Illustrated with representations of various scenes up to the landing of Brute in the Isle of Wight, and thenceforward with portraits of the monarchs. 20. _Map of the Holy Land_, on a paper roll, nearly seven feet long; written, apparently, in the first half of the fifteenth century. In the Douce collection. Engraved in facsimile during the past year, 1867, for the Roxburghe Club, to illustrate the Itineraries of William Wey, which were edited by Rev. G. Williams, B.D., for the same Club, from Bodl. MS. 565, in 1857. The Map in many points agrees very closely with the latter, but contains also some discrepancies, and is somewhat earlier in date. 21. A _Psalter_, with the usual Canticles, Litany, &c; written about the middle of the fourteenth century. This magnificent volume was given by Robert de Ormesby, a monk of Norwich, to the choir of the Cathedral Church, 'ad jacendum coram Suppriore qui pro tempore fuerit inperpetuum.' It is illustrated with illuminations most beautifully executed, but, at the same time, containing the most grotesque and profanely inappropriate figures, resembling those sometimes found on the _Misereres_ of collegiate churches. It is bound in a large covering of sheepskin, which by overlapping the volume has no doubt greatly contributed to preserve its freshness and beauty of condition. A facsimile from one page is to be found in Shaw's _Illuminated Ornaments_, 1833, with a description by Sir F. Madden. It belongs to the Douce collection. * * * * * In a separate glass case adjoining the preceding (in which was formerly exhibited a fine specimen of the typography of the Royal Press at Berlin, in a German Bible given by the King of Prussia) is now displayed a fine Bible printed at Glasgow in 1862, in two folio volumes, and illustrated with very beautiful photographs by Frith, which was called the Queen's Bible from its being dedicated by permission to Her Majesty. In a glass case in the adjoining window is a German Bible, printed in 1541, with texts on the fly-leaves in the handwriting of Luther and Melanchthon, whose signatures, although much defaced by some possessor, are still very legible. See p. 245. IN A GLASS CASE, WEST END OF THE LIBRARY. 1. _Plinii Historia Naturalis_; in folio. Printed 1476. From the Douce collection. See p. 250. 2. _Breviary_ and Psalter according to the use of the Carthusian Order; written about 1480. A specimen of Italian art, from the Canonici collection. 3. _Horæ B. M. Virg._ 12mo. An exquisite MS., of the school of Albert Durer, executed for Bona Sforza. See p. 249.
