This is a good manuscript, carefully written and finely decorated. There are very few contractions, and in particular the termination _-oun_ is generally written in full, as ‘confessioun,’ i. 202, ‘resoun,’ iii. 1111, ‘devocioun,’ ‘contemplacioun,’ v. 7125 f. &c., and _th_ is written regularly for þ. As regards individual accuracy and spelling it is very fair, but the scribe adds _-e_ very freely at the end of words. The type of text represented is evidently intermediate to some extent, but I have not been able to examine it sufficiently to determine its exact character. It supports the revised group in a certain number of passages, e.g. i. 264, 630, 3374, 3396, 3416, ii. 31, 1328, 1758, &c., sometimes in company with H₁ and sometimes not. In particular we may note the passage i. 3374 ff., where in some lines it is revised as above mentioned, and in others, as 3381, 3414, 3443, it keeps the earlier text. Occasionally Y seems to have a tendency to group itself with B, as i. 208, 604, and in other places we find YE or YEC forming a group in agreement with B, as i. 161, iii. 633, v. 1946, 3879. X. SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES, 134. Contains, ff. 1-30 Lydgate’s _Life of the Virgin_ (imperfect at beginning), f. 1 begins in cap. xiii. ‘Therefore quod pees,’ ff. 30-249 _Confessio Amantis_ with ‘Explicit’ (six lines), ‘Quam cinxere,’ and ‘Quia vnusquisque,’ ff. 250-283, Hoccleve’s _Regement of Princes_, with ‘Explicit Thomas Occlef,’ ff. 283 v^o, metrical version of Boethius [by John Walton of Osney] with leaves lost at the end, ends ‘Amonges hem þ_at_ dwelle_n_ nyȝe present.’ Parchment, ff. 297, about 15 × 11 in., in quires of 8 without catchwords, in a good and regular hand. The _Conf. Amantis_ is in double column of 41 lines. Latin summaries in text (red). Ornamental borders at the beginning of books and space for miniature of Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream on f. 34 v^o. One leaf lost between ff. 134 and 135, containing v. 1159-1318. The book belonged formerly to the Rev. Charles Lyttelton, LL.D., who notes that it came originally from the Abbey of Hales Owen. I owe thanks to the librarian of the Society of Antiquaries for courteously giving me access to the manuscript. The text is of the intermediate type, passing over in a part of the fifth book with H₁ &c. to the revised group, but not giving the revised readings much support on other occasions. It forms however a distinct sub-group with GOAd₂, these manuscripts having readings apparently peculiar to themselves in several passages, e.g. v. 3688 and after v. 6848.
