Catholic Church -- Liturgy
The Original-Series Texts for 1904 will be No. 124, t. Hen. V,
_Twenty-six Political and other Poems_ from the Digby MS. 102, &c.,
edited by Dr. J. Kail, and No. 125, Part I of the _Medieval Records of
a London City Church_ (St. Mary-at-Hill), A.D. 1420-1559, copied and
edited by Mr. Henry Littlehales from the Church Records in the Guildhall,
the cost of the setting and corrections of the text being generously
borne by its Editor. This book will show the income and outlay of the
church; the drink provided for its Palm-Sunday players, its officers’
excursions into Kent and Essex, its dealing with the Plague, the disposal
of its goods at the Reformation, &c., &c., and will help our members to
realize the church-life of its time. The third Text will be Part I of
_An Alphabet of Tales_, a very interesting collection, englisht in the
Northern Dialect, about 1440, from the Latin _Alphabetum Narrationum_ by
Etienne de Bésançon, and edited by Mrs. M. M. Banks from the unique MS.
in the King’s Library in the British Museum; the above-named three texts
are now ready for issue. Those for 1905 and 1906 will probably be chosen
from Part II of the _Exeter Book_—Anglo-Saxon Poems from the unique
MS. in Exeter Cathedral—re-edited by Israel Gollancz, M.A.; Part II of
Prof. Dr. Holthausen’s _Vices and Virtues_; Part II of _Jacob’s Well_,
edited by Dr. Brandeis; the Alliterative _Siege of Jerusalem_, edited
by the late Prof. Dr. E. Kölbing and Prof. Dr. Kaluza; an Introduction
and Glossary to the _Minor Poems of the Vernon MS._ by H. Hartley, M.A.;
Alain Chartier’s _Quadrilogue_, edited from the unique MS. Univ. Coll.
Oxford MS. No. 85, by Mr. J. W. H. Atkins of Owen’s College; a Northern
Verse _Chronicle of England_ to 1327 A.D., in 42,000 lines, about 1420
A.D., edited by M. L. Perrin, B.A.; Prof. Bruce’s Introduction to _The
English Conquest of Ireland_, Part II; and Dr. Furnivall’s edition of
the _Lichfield Gilds_, which is all printed, and waits only for the
Introduction, that Prof. E. C. K. Gonner has kindly undertaken to write
for the book. Canon Wordsworth of Marlborough has given the Society a
copy of the Leofric Canonical Rule, Latin and Anglo-Saxon, Parker MS.
191, C. C. C. Cambridge, and Prof. Napier will edit it, with a fragment
of the englisht Capitula of Bp. Theodulf. The _Coventry Leet Book_
is being copied for the Society by Miss M. Dormer Harris—helpt by a
contribution from the Common Council of the City,—and will be publisht by
the Society (Miss Harris editing), as its contribution to our knowledge
of the provincial city life of the 15th century.
Dr. Brie of Berlin has undertaken to edit the prose _Brut_ or _Chronicle
of Britain_ attributed to Sir John Mandeville, and printed by Caxton. He
has already examined more than 100 English MSS. and several French ones,
to get the best text, and find out its source.
