[A] Let not the 400 MSS. given by Coislin to the Abbey of St. Germain
des Prés at Paris be quoted against me. They were the collection of a
great noble, the Chancellor Séguier, and the library to which they were
presented was practically a public one, whose permanence was seemingly
assured.
[B] _See_ Eubel, _Hierarchia Catholica Medii Ævi_, ii. 248.
[C] We have its catalogue admirably reproduced by Thomas Hearne, at a
time (early in the eighteenth century) when it was rare to find anyone
who would take the trouble to make a faithful copy of such a record,
with all its erasures and alterations.
[D] Subsequently Theyer, as I said, went on collecting MSS., and finally
Charles II. bought the whole lot for the Royal Library.
