The date is given by error as " Anno domini millesimo quingentesimo tricesimo quarto decimo. Et nostre consecrationis anno-secundo." f. 64. Note of a customary payment: " Memorandum quod Prior Ecclesie Cathedralis Wigorn in prima creacione suapercipiet de singulis-Maneriis et dominiis suis speciale subsidium anglic' Saddell silver viz. de domioio de," &c.

The sum is 159 swine, 318 hens, 3600 eggs, 280 geese..., The volume contains two flyleaves cut out of a manuscript of Statius of the eleventh century. It is written in double columns, and the left-hand column in the first leaf and the right-hand one in the second have been mutilated to fit the cover. The passages are from the Thebais x 877-900 (i. col. 1), 902-924 (col. 2); x. 778-800 (ii. col. 1), xi. 53-75 (col. 2). This singular derangement of the order is apparently to be accounted for by the hypothesis of some leaves in the archetype, containing lib. x. 801-876, 925-939, xi. 1-52, having been misplaced. In a manuscript in the Cathedral Library, Q 8, Dr. H. Schenkl found similar flyleaves which were manifestly taken from the same MS. of Statius and begin with lib ii. 70. Dr. Schenkl however erroneously assigned the writing to the ninth century.f, i--..--Cf. 1st Ledger, f. 136... t Wiener Studien, viii. (1888), 166-168.
