Perhaps your mystic correspondents will kindly furnish lists of other publications and MSS. of {14} "the Teutonick Theosopher." There are sixteen more of his works, of which fifteen are now extant in High Dutch. As old Behmen is but little known in this country, save by ill-repute, as having led astray William Law in his old age, and, through him, having tinctured the religious philosophy of Coleridge, it way be worth noting, that no less a philosopher than Schelling (to whom, as we know, Coleridge stood so greatly indebted) stole from the Lusatian shoemaker the corner-stones of his _Philosophy of Nature_. C. MANSFIELD INGLEBY. Birmingham. [Footnote 2: J. Sparrow.--ED.] * * * * * RAFFAELLE'S SPOSALIZIO. (Vol. vii., p. 595.) With regard to your correspondent MR. G. BRINDLEY ACKWORTH's Query respecting _Raffaelle's Sposalizio_, I am induced to think that the _custode_ at the church of the Santa Croce at Florence was right as to his information. In the copy which I have of the "Ordo ad faciendum Sponsalia," _according to the ancient use of Salisbury_, the ring is undoubtedly to be placed on the bride's _right_ hand. Wheatly indeed says, that "when the man espouses his wife with it (_i.e._ the ring), he is to put it _upon the fourth finger of her_ left _hand_;" and then refers, for _the reason_ of this, to the rubric of _Salisbury Manual_, which speaks of the vein going from this finger directly to the heart. Now, what are the precise words of this rubric? After giving directions for the benediction of the ring, provided it has not previously been blessed, the rubric goes on thus: "Si autem antea fuerit annulus ille benedictus tunc statim postquam vir posuerit annulum super librum, accipiens sacerdos annulum tradat ipsum viro: quem vir accipiat manu sua dextera cum tribus principalioribus digitis, et manu sua sinistra tenens dexteram sponsae docente sacerdote dicat." The man is to receive the ring from the priest with the three principal fingers of the right hand; and then, holding the _right hand_ of the bride with his own left hand, he shall say, "With this ring," &c. He is then to place the ring on her thumb, saying, "In nomine Patris;" then on her second finger, saying "et Filii;" then on the third finger, saying "et Spiritus Sancti;" then on the fourth finger, saying "Amen;" and there he is to leave it. There is not a word said about the bride's _left_ hand, the _right_ is alone mentioned; and why should the man hold her _right_ hand with his _left_, but that with his _right_ hand he may the more easily place the ring, _first_ on the _thumb_, then on the other fingers of her _right_ hand, until it arrives at its ideal destination?
