Henry the Sixth : $b a reprint of John Blacman's memoir, with translation and notes
Blakman, John
Great Britain -- History -- Henry VI, 1422-1461; Henry VI, King of England, 1421-1471
There is some ground for thinking that this volume was utilized, or to
be utilized, for the process of the canonization of Henry VI which
proved abortive.
The other MS Harl. 423 is of cent. XVI early, and occupies ff. 72-128 in
one of Foxe's volumes. It is plainly a copy of the first part of the
Royal MS.
III. ON JOHN BLACMAN'S BOOKS.
The following lists are found in MS. Laud. Misc. 154, in the Bodleian
library, one on a flyleaf, the other--somewhat mutilated--in the lower
margin of a leaf. The first enumerates the whole contents of each
volume, the second gives the title of one tract only, but supplies the
opening words of the second leaf of each volume, the usual medieval
expedient for identifying a book.
I combine here the data of the two lists, calling the list on the
flyleaf A and that on the lower margin B.
The MS in which they occur is a volume of Nic. de Lyra's commentary on
the Bible: and list B begins by describing it.
