PBEFACE.
The present volume forms a second portion of the exhaustive edition of the Anglo-Saxon Gospels, as planned by Mr Kemble. The first portion was published in 1858, with the title, "The Gospel according to St Matthew, in Anglo-Saxon and Northumbrian Versions, synoptically arranged : with collations of the best Manuscripts. Edited for the Syndics of the University Press. Cambridge : at the University Press. 1858." Unfortunately Mr Kemble did not live to complete the volume, and the task of finishing it devolved upon Mr Hardwick, whose preface commences with the following paragraph :
"An edition of the Gospels, as transmitted to us in the leading dialects of ancient England, was designed and partly executed several years ago by one of our accomplished Anglo-Saxon scholars, John M. Kemble, Esq. M. A , of Trinity College, Cambridge. The undertaking was, however, soon suspended for various causes ; and at the time of Mr Kemble's death, in the spring of 1857, the portion of it actually completed did not reach beyond the opening verses of the twenty- fifth chapter of St Matthew. Under these circumstances the Syndics of the Uni- versity Press, instead of suffering so good a project to fall entirely to the ground, resolved to carry on the printing of the work as far at least as the conclusion of the first Gospel."
The remainder of Mr Hardwick's very brief preface merely indicates the titles of the MSS. on which the text and notes were founded. This is perhaps the fitting place to add that the expression "collations of the best manuscripts" in the title-page above quoted is calculated to mislead. ' Not merely the best, but all the existing manuscripts were consulted, and all their various readings recorded. From the omission of the marginal numbers having: reference to the Eusebian Canons in the latter part of the work, it appears that the first 192 pages were prepared by Mr Kemble, and the last 39 by Mr Hardwick.
By the kindness of the Syndics of the University Press, I have been per- mitted to undertake this second portion of the work ; and, as the circumstances attending the publication of St Matthew's Gospel did not afford a favourable opportunity for discussing the peculiarities of the MSS., or even for explaining the general design by which their readings are synoptically exhibited, I now endeavour to supply the necessary information.

\. to the genera] account of our early versions of the Scriptures, and the MSS. in which they are contained, the reader cannot do better than consult the Preface to "The Gothic and Anglo-Saxon Gospels," &c, edited by the Rev. Joseph w,»rth, D.D., and («. Waring Esq., published in 18G5. In the Preface also to the Wycliffite Versions of the Holy Bible, edited by the Rev. J. Forshall and Sir F. Madden, K.H. in 1850, there is a passage which exhibits the whole matter bo dearly and briefly that it is advisable to quote it at length, together with the valuable footnotes appended to it.
"The poem which bears the name of Caidmon, gives several passages of Scrip- ture with tolerable fidelity, and it might require extended notice, if the epic and ndary character of the composition suffered it to be ranked among the versions of holy writ1. Aldhelm, bishop of Sherborn, who died in 709, is reported to have rendered the Psalter into his native language2, and the Anglo-Saxon version, dis- covered in the Royal Library at Paris about the beginning of the present century, has been supposed to be at least in part his production. The first fifty psalms are in prose, the others in verse3.
" Bede wrote chiefly for the learned ; yet that the common people might more easily be taught the elements of their religion, he turned the Apostles' Creed and the Lord's Prayer into Anglo-Saxon, and frequently presented copies of these for- mularies to such illiterate priests as came under his notice4. He died in 735, and one of his last efforts was a translation of the Gospel of St John, which he seems to have completed, just as death put an end to his labours*.
" Alfred, in his zeal for the improvement of his country, did not overlook the importance of vernacular Scripture. At the head of his laws he set in Anglo- Saxon the ten commandments, with such of the Mosaic injunctions in the three following chapters of Exodus, as were most to his purpose. What other parts of the Bible he translated, it is difficult to determine. A remarkable passage in his preface to the Pastoral of Pope Gregory6, leaves no room for doubt, that if the more necessary portions of holy writ were not made accessible to his subjects in their own tongue, it was only because this wise and pious prince failed of the opportunity to accomplish his wishes.
" Whatever might be the extent of Alfred's biblical labours, it is beyond question that soon after his days the Anglo-Saxon Church had her own interpre- tations of those parts of Scripture which were in most frequent use. The Psalter

ascribed to Aldhelm, if it be not the work of that prelate, certainly cannot be later than the ninth century. To the same period may be safely attributed the Anglo-Saxon translation of the Gospels1. Several MSS. of it are preserved; but none of them appear to give the version in its original purity. Successive tran- scribers adapted the language to the idioms and inflexions of their own times and provinces. Some however of the copies are earlier and less degenerate than others. The latest seems to be considerably subsequent to the conquest, the most ancient may have been written more than a hundred years before it2.
" But it was not solely to this version that the unlettered Anglo-Saxon was indebted for a knowledge of what the Evangelists record. Access was also afforded to their narratives by means of verbal glosses made in copies of the Latin Gospels. These glosses were written between the lines of the text, rendering it in the same order word by word. Of the two glosses which are now exstant, one is found in the famous book of Durham3, and was made by the priest Aldred, probably in the tenth century ; the other of the same age is contained in a MS. of the Bodleian Library4, and had for its authors Owun and Farman, the latter a priest at Harewood.
tl Similar glosses had been made on the Psalter. A gloss of this kind, pro- bably of the ninth century, was published in 1640 from a MS.5 belonging to sir Henry Spelman, by his son, afterwards sir John6. Another gloss of the same period was published by the Surtees Society in 18437. Variations from these glosses are found in several other MSS.8 Glosses also occur on the canticles of the church, and the Lord's prayer ; on portions of Scripture in the ritual of Durham9, and on the more difficult words of the book of Proverbs10.
"Towards the close of the tenth century ^Elfric translated, omitting some parts and greatly abridging others, the Pentateuch, Joshua, Judges, a portion of the books of Kings, Esther, Job, Judith, and the Maccabees11. He also drew up in

•• The writings which are still exstant shew that the Anglo-Saxon church must have had in her own tongue a considerable amount of scriptural instruction. But these cannot be the full measure of what our forefathers possessed. Much, it cannot be doubted, perished in the troubles and confusion attending the incursions and pillages of the Danes ; and much, subsequently, through the disfavour shewn by the Normans to the Anglo-Saxon language and literature3."
The arrangement of matter in the present edition is exactly the same as in Mr Kemble's, from which I see no cause to deviate. The plan of it is best under- stood from the following scheme of the contents of any two opposite pages.
Left-hand Page.
Text.
First Column. MS. No. I. (Corpus).
Various Readings; from MS. II. or A. (Cambridge ; MS. III. or B. (Oxford) ; and MS. IV. or C (Cot- ton, Otho C. 1).
Second Column. Text. MS. V. (Hatton).
Various Readings ; from MS. VI. or Royal (Brit. Mus.).
Rigid-hand Page.
Upper Text. MS. VII. (Lindisfarne) ; Latin with Northumbrian gloss.
Lower Text. MS. VIII. (Rushworth) ; gloss only.
The rubrics in the left margin of the left-hand pages are entirely from MS. A. Some of them occur in B., but these are merely copied from A. in a late hand, and are of no authority.
The rubrics in the right margin of the same pages are from the Hatton MS," but they occur also in the Royal MS. with scarcely a single variation.
The numbers in the right margin of the right-hand pages are from the Lindisfarne MS., and will presently be explained in full.
The Latin text of the Rushworth MS., which differs but very slightly from that of the Lindisfarne MS., is omitted to save space. But the results of a colla- tion of these texts will be found in an Appendix at the end of the volume.
The object of this arrangement is easily perceived. The Corpus MS. represents the text nearly in its earliest, the Hatton MS. in its latest form. These are put side by side. The Lindisfarne and Rushworth glosses are in the Northumbrian dialect; and therefore occupy the opposite pages, apart from the rest. Wherever the book is opened, all the readings of all the MSS. are exhibited at once.

Description of the MSS.
The following description of the MSS. is partly compiled from the accounts by Wanley1 and by Dr Bosworth2, and partly from the results of my own observation.
I. The Corpus MS. — MS. No. cxl. (formerly S. 4) in the library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge; described by Wanley, p. 1163. Its contents are —
(a) The four Gospels in Anglo-Saxon.
(b) At the beginning of the MS. (but added afterwards) are certain forms of manumissions, several of which make mention of vElfsige, abbot of Bath4. These are enumerated by "Wanley, who in another place (p. 149) calls attention to the fact that a leaf has been here extracted from the MS., but is still preserved by being placed in another MS., so as now to be found at p. 7 of MS., Miscell. G. (now No. Ill) in the same library. The forms are printed in Madox, Formul. Angl. p. 416 ; Dugdale's Monasticon, ii. 265 ; and Thorpe, Dipl. Angl. iEvi Saxon, pp. 640—642; cf. Kemble, Cod. Dipl, JEvi Sax. iv. 270, and vi. 209. All of them are connected with St Peter's Abbey-church at Bath. Amongst them is a docu- ment which is printed separately (from the MS. now being described) in Thorpe's Dipl. Angl. JEy'i Sax. p. 436, with the title— "The Prior and Brotherhood of Bath. Agreement with Saawi and Theodgyfu."
(c) At the end of the Gospel of St Mark is a piece entitled " Scriptum de Ccelo Delapsum," which is really a homily concerning the observation of the Lord's day. Begins — Wen J?a leofestan. Her onginS pcet halie gewrit pe com fram heofe- nan into hierusalera. Ends — and se pe underfehS witigan on p&s witigan naman he underferrS J??es witigan mede.
(d) At the end of the Gospel of St Luke are lists of popes and of English archbishops and bishops. The last pope mentioned is Alexander II., elected a.d. 1061 ; many of the lists end long before that date. At the end of the Gospel of St John are two Latin documents of later date, both referring to Bath ; see Nasmith's catalogue of the Corpus MSS. It deserves to be mentioned that the scribe iElfric did not write the whole of the Gospels himself; for in the Gospel of St Mark, from the word gorst-beam (xii. 26) to he (xii. 38), there is a single page written in a different and inferior hand.
At the end of the Gospel of St Matthew is this note — Ego iElfricus scripsi hunc librum in Monasterio Ba^j^onio et dedi Brihtwoldo prcposito — T, ./Elfric, wrote this book in the monastery at Bath, and gave it to Brihtwold the prior. It is

Bome satisfaction fco know the original locality of this MS.: it would be a still neater satisfaction if more could bo ascertained about Brithwold. If we suppose him to be the same Urithwold who was bishop of Sherborne from a.d. 100G to 10461, we might conclude that the MS. was written before a.d. 1006. Wanley dates it a little before the conquest; Dr Bosworth puts it about a.d. 995, or between a.d. 990 and 1030. We may very safely date it, in round numbers, about a.d. 1000. Wanley suggests that it was copied from one a little older. Whence he derived the notion is not apparent, yet it is almost certain that the Corpus, Bodley, and Cotton MSS. had all a common origin.
II. The Cambridge MS. — MS. Ii. 2. 11 in the Cambridge University Library, described by Wanley, p. 152 2, and in the Catalogue of Cambridge University Li- brary MSS. Vol. in. p. 384. It is a folio volume, on vellum, containing 402 pages of about 23 lines each. Its contents are : —
(a) The four Gospels in Anglo-Saxon, with numerous rubrics, directing when certain portions are to be read.
(b) An Anglo-Saxon translation of the Pseudo-Gospel of Nicodemus. Printed by Thwaites, at the end of his Heptateuchus, published in 1698\ There is another copy of this in MS. Cotton Vitellius A. XV. horn. III. (Wanley, p. 218) which is imperfect at the beginning. Junius made a transcript of the Cambridge copy, and collated it with the Cotton MS. The results of the collation are printed by Thwaites, on the last page of his volume. Junius's transcript is now in the Bodleian Library, marked Jun. 74, and is described by Wanley, p. 96. There is also an abbreviated copy of the same story in MS. Cott. Vespasian D. XIV. horn. XXXIII. (Wanley, p. 204). It may perhaps here be worth while to remark a circumstance which seems to have escaped the observation of the editor, viz. that there is a considerable hiatus in the story in the MSS. between the words " nan o^er ne dorste" and " Da wees hym £ser neh sum wer standende," 1. 5, p. 6, in Thwaites. The whole account of Christ's crucifixion is omitted. A note to this effect has, at my suggestion, been made in the Cambridge MS. As the omission there occurs in the middle of a page, it is very probable that the narrative was copied from an older MS. which had lost a few leaves.
(c) The embassy of Nathan the Jew to Tiberius Caesar, together with the legend of St Veronica ; also in Anglo-Saxon. Printed among the Publications of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society ; edited by C. W. Goodwin, M.A. Cambridge, 1851 ; entitled " Anglo-Saxon legends of St Andrew and St Veronica." A frag- ment of the same story is contained in six leaves at the end of MS. C. C. C.

At the back of the leaf containing the last few words of this text is the manumission of a certain Remold, consisting of only a few lines. Wanley prints the whole of it. See also Thorpe's Diplom. Angl. JE,vi Sax. p. 622.
Various notes in the MS. — printed by Wanley — tell us its history. It once belonged to Bishop Leofric, and was given by him to the Church of St Peter the Apostle in Exeter. In 1566, it was given by Gregory Dodde, dean of Exeter, with the consent of his brethren, to Matthew Parker, archbishop of Canterbury, who afterwards gave it to the University of Cambridge in 1574. There can hardly be a doubt that this is the identical volume which is mentioned in the catalogue of Leofric's gifts to St Peter's church in the terms : " I. Englisc Cristes boc ; " i. e. one copy of the Gospels in English1. Leofric was bishop of Devonshire and Cornwall from about 1046 to 1073 '. Wanley puts the date of the MS. at about the time of the Norman conquest, but it is probably a little earlier ; and we safely assign to it the locality Exeter, and the date about a.d. 1050. It appears to be very accurately written throughout. In the footnotes to the first column it is denoted by the letter A.
III. The Bodley MS.— MS. Bodley NE. F. 3. 15, now Bodley 441; described by Wanley, p. 643. It is a folio volume, on vellum, containing 194 leaves. But it must be particularly noted that some of these must have been supplied from the Corpus MS. by Parker's direction in imitation of the old writing, and are valueless. I may mention in particular leaves 57 — 62, containing Mark i. 1 to iv. 37 ; leaf 90, containing the last three verses of St Luke ; and leaves 192 — 194, John xx. 9 to the end. Accordingly it will be found that the various readings marked B. in the footnotes to the first 32 pages of this volume are mostly records of blunders. Nothing seems to be known of its history except that it was once in all proba- bility in the possession of Matthew Parker, archbishop of Canterbury. This is ren- dered probable by the way in which several rubrics have been copied into it from the Cambridge MS. But internal evidence proves its extremely close connection with the Corpus and Cotton MSS., and renders it absolutely certain that these three MSS. are copies from a common original. The Bodley MS. e. g. frequently uses the same contractions as the Corpus MS. in the same places. Throughout page 112 (ch. xiv. 13 — 22) it only has one different reading, viz. pas for pa in v. 13. The only other variations of any hind on this page are, that it has "him" for the contracted form "hi" four times; also "sittendum" and "twelfum" for "sittendu"

and "tuvlfu", and, conversely, "su" for "sum"; also "SoJ?lice", "ge-sylj?", "cwe&m", •■})a\ for "SoSlice", "gesylS", " cwcj>an", and "pa''; it accents "an" in v. 18, and puts a stop after "brcvc" in v. 22.
The connection between the Bodley and Cotton MSS. is closer still, the former being a mere duplicate of the latter; and hence, in the various readings towards the end of the volume, the letters B. and C. are almost always found together. It follows that the text of the Bodley MS. is as good as that of the Cotton MS., and the remarks of Mr Thorpe in his short preface to his "Anglo-Saxon version of the Holy Gospels" arc made at random. He was probably misled by observing some of the mistakes which are to be found in those pages of the Bodley MS. which are written in a modern hand. For example, in i. 43, the word bead (bade) is written bend in the spurious page of the Bodley MS., and is so printed in Parker's edition. Another error, mine rnodor for min modor, occurs in iii. 34, both in the spurious page of the MS. and in Parker's edition. But such errors must not be allowed to depreciate overmuch the value of such pages of the MS. as are
genuine.
In the Bodley MS. the words are commonly written very closely together, and some few words are retained which the Corpus MS. omits. Yet it does not appear that this MS. is really older than the Corpus ; on the contrary, it is generally regarded as of later date. The handwriting is certainly not that of ./Elfric, the scribe of the Corpus MS. In the footnotes to the first column it is denoted by the letter B.
IV. The Cotton MS.— MS. Cotton Otho C. 1, in the British Museum; described by Wanley, pp. 211, 212. Very little use seems to have been made of this MS. : it was not consulted by Marshall, and Dr Bosworth gives only one or two read- ings from it, yet it might be of service for the correction of the texts of St Luke and St John. I quote at length Dr Bosworth's excellent description1.
"A minute description is given of it by Wanley in 1704 [1705], when it was in a perfect state from Mat. xxvii. 6. It was so much injured by the fire, which destroyed many of Sir Robert Cotton's MSS. on the 23rd of Oct. 1731, that what was defec- tive only as far as Matt, xxvii. 6 before that calamity, afterwards looked like a charred mass. Planta, in his Catalogue of the Cotton MSS., describes it as 'once consisting of 290 leaves, but now (1802) so much burnt and contracted as to render the binding of it impracticable.' It was fortunately kept in a case ; and what was found impracticable by Mr Planta, has been effected under the careful superintendence of Sir Frederic Madden, by whose judicious arrangements many MSS. have been restored, and made accessible to the public. The smallest part of this burnt mass has been carefully mounted on thick folio paper, which is cut away in

the middle to fit the injured vellum, and made fast by transparent paper, gummed to the edges of the paper and the vellum ; the MS. can, therefore, be easily read on both sides. It is now bound in two large folio volumes. Sir Frederic Madden tells us that twenty-five folios are lost since Wanley described it. The first small frag- ment of this MS. now remaining is from folio 26, which Sir F. Madden has marked as part of St Mark vii. 22. Such a note deserves the best thanks of all who con- sult the MS., as it saves much of their time. The fragments increase a little in size from folio 26 to 38. St Luke is nearly complete, and occupies fol. 39 — 93. St John fills fol. 95 — 135, and is nearly perfect, especially in the latter part. There are not any rubrical directions, and only a few badly formed capital letters of a dingy red colour in this MS." It is unnecessary to describe the other contents of this MS., as Wanley explains that they have been brought together by a bookbinder, though written by different hands and at different times. But it may be observed that between the Gospels of St Luke and St John is inserted a charter relating to Aid- helm, abbot of Malmesbury in Wiltshire, who was afterwards bishop of Sherborne, in the time of Ine of Wessex, about a.d. 705 1. This hint may serve to connect the MS. with the locality of Malmesbury, whilst its internal evidence connects it with the Corpus MS. written at Bath, and even still more closely with the Bodley MS. It is supposed to be coeval with the Corpus MS. In connection with the present work, it is obviously of great importance to explain in full how much of St Mark is left. The following fragments of parts of verses and passages can be read with tolerable ease.

Owing bo the very fragmentary character of these passages, and its very close agreement with the text, the various readings recorded from it in the first column (where it Lb denoted l>y the letter C.) are very few. By an oversight, none were reOQlded before the beginning of Chapter XII. Before this point the various read- ings are only these, viz. P.

V. The Hatton MS. — This MS., formerly marked Hatton 65, is now marked llatton 38; it is now in the Bodleian Library, at Oxford, and is described by Wan- ley, p. 76. It is a neat volume, the leaves of which measure 9^ by 6 inches, containing the four gospels, written in an exceeding uniform, upright, and clear hand, but of rather a late date, about the time of Henry II. The Gospels are arranged in the following order : — Mark, Luke, Matthew, and John. It is interesting as shewing how the language began to lose strength in its inflectional forms, as is at once apparent by comparing it with the older text here printed beside it. The rubrics occurring in it are printed in the right-hand margin. It formerly belonged to the Rev. John Parker, son to Archbishop Parker, whose name — Johes parker — is written on the back of a fly-leaf. One leaf having been lost, the missing portion (Luke xvi.) was "restored" by Mr Parker.
VI. The Royal MS. This MS. is now in the Royal Library at the British Museum, where its class-mark is Bibl. Reg. 1 A. xiv. It is described by Wanley, p. 181. It is somewhat older than the Hatton MS., and was probably written in the time of Stephen. It contains 175 leaves, each measuring about 8| by 5f inches. Leaves 3 — 173 are occupied by the Gospels, and contain about 25 lines on a page. The leaves at the beginning and end seem to have formed part of a Latin missal.
The handwriting is in singular contrast to that of the Hatton MS., being bold, hasty, and rough. It may seem fanciful, but it gives the impression of having been written in troublous times, when the object was rather to have a copy for ready use than to spend time in elaborating it. The general agreement of it with the Hatton MS. is very close, excepting that it preserves more archaic forms ; and it contains nearly the same rubrics in the same places. It appears by collation that the Hatton MS. was actually copied from it by a scribe who had plenty of leisure. All doubt on the subject is removed by observing that the last seven verses of St Mark's Gospel, omitted by the scribe of the Royal MS., are sup- plied in it by the scribe of the Hatton MS. in his usual neat hand and with his peculiar spelling. This interesting fact seems never to have been hitherto observed. It proves, moreover, that the scribe of the Hatton MS. had access to some other MS. besides the Royal. The Gospels are in the order — Mark, Matthew, Luke, and
XI
John. Wanley says that it formerly belonged to the Abbey of St Augustine's, Canterbury, and was afterwards in the possession of Archbishop Cranmer, whose name — Thomas Cantuarien: — is on the first page. This would seem to connect it with Canterbury as its locality.
VII. The Lindisfarne MS. This MS. is also known as the Durham Book ; it is now one of the Cotton MSS. in the British Museum, its class-mark beiner Nero D. 4. This fine MS., one of the chief treasures in our national collection, has been frequently described at great length ; see Wanley's Catalogue, p. 250, and especially the descriptions in Professor Westwood's " Palseographia Sacra Pictoria " and " Facsimiles of Miniatures and Ornaments of Anglo-Saxon and Irish MSS.:" also the Prolegomena to Part IV. of the " Lindisfarne and Kushworth Gospels," edited for the Surtees Society by Stevenson and Waring. It consists of 258 leaves of thick vellum, each measuring 13| inches by 9^, and contains the four Gospels in Latin, written in double columns, with an interlinear Northumbrian gloss ; together with St Jerome's Epistle to Pope Damasus, the Eusebian Canons, two prefaces, short notices of the four Evangelists, arguments of the sections into which the Gospels are divided, and tables of lessons to be read on Sundays, festivals, &c' The Latin text was written in the island of Lindisfarne by Eadfrith, who was bishop of Lindisfarne a.d. 698 — 721 ; so that if he wrote it before his election we must date it before 698. We cannot be far wrong in dating it, in round numbers, about a.d. 700. The interlinear gloss is two and a half centuries later, having been made by Aldred, a priest, about a.d. 950, at a time when the MS. was probably kept at Chester-le-Street, near Durham, whither it had been removed for fear of the Danes. The stains made upon the edges of the leaves by sea-water, probably during its transit from Lindisfarne to the mainland, are still plainly visible. The Durham Ritual, edited for the Surtees Society by Mr Stevenson in 1840, is glossed by the same hand". An entry at the end of St John's Gospel gives the names of Eadfrith the writer, and Aldred the glossator, as well as of iEthilwald and Bilfrith, who were employed upon the cover of it. ^Ethilvvald succeeded Eadfrith in the see of Lindisfarne, a.d. 721, and died about the year 737. Another and much shorter entry occurs at the bottom of leaf 88, at the back, and is printed in this volume, p. 1 ; see also the Critical Notes. Immediately above this note is written "Incipiunt capitulae (sic) secundum marcum," and on the next leaf is a short life of St Mark headed " Incipit argumentum." Next, on leaf 90, "Incipiunt capitula lec- tionum;" and, at the bottom of leaf 92, a very imperfect list of days when the lessons are to be read. All this preliminary matter to St Mark's Gospel is here

VIII. Thi EtaSHWORTB MS. This MS. is in the Bodleian Library at Oxford, and is marked Auct. D. ii. L91. It now consists of 1(39 leaves of thick vellum, measuring 14 by 10i inches, but is incomplete. It is described by Wanley, p. 81 ; by Professor Westwood in his " Pakeographia Sacra Pictoria," and his " Facsimiles of the Miniatures and Ornaments of Anglo-Saxon and Irish Manu- scripts ;" by Mr Waring, in his Prolegomena to St John's Gospel, p. xlvii ; and others. The Gospel of St Luke is incomplete, and there are no prefaces, argu- ments or tables, as in the Lindisfarne MS. In other points, however, it strongly resembles it, excepting that the Latin text is written all across the page, instead of in double columns. The Latin was written by a scribe who gives his name, at the end, as Macregol and Macreguil, but the date is uncertain. Wanley sup- poses it to have once belonged to Beda, who died a.d. 735 ; whilst, on the other hand, the Irish Annals of the year 820 record the death of a scribe named Mac Riagoil. We may, perhaps, refer it to the eighth century. The gloss is by two hands, those of Farman and Owun, whose names are given at the end of St John's Gospel ; and Farman is described as a priest of Harewood, which is in the West Riding of Yorkshire, on the river Wharfe. The portion written by the former ends at the word hleonadun in v. 15 of the second chapter of St Mark, as the reader may perceive by turning to p. 19, and observing that the thorn-letter (p) seldom again occurs after that verse, except when used with a stroke through it, to denote the word "JjaetV In v. 13 it occurs in pa preat, in v. 14 in mOSpy, and cwep, and in v. 15 in mi'Spy, for the last time. The gloss may be referred to the latter half of the tenth century. Nothing more is known of the history of the MS. till we find it in the hands of John Rush worth, of Lincoln's Inn, barrister, and deputy- clerk to the House of Commons during the Long Parliament ; by whom it was presented to the Bodleian Library.
The Latin text of the Rushworth MS. differs but slightly from that of the Lindisfarne MS., and hence it is omitted here, as in Kemble's edition of St Mat- thew ; but I have thought it advisable to give, in the Appendix, every variation of spelling and of readings which it presents, as compared with the text of the Durham Book. The Northern-English (Yorkshire) gloss is given at the bottom of the right-hand pages, beginning at p. 9. Hitherto, it hardly seems to have been pointed out with sufficient distinctness that the Rushworth gloss is really derived from the Lindisfarne gloss in a very direct manner. I have no doubt that Farman and Owun actually consulted the identical Lindisfarne MS. which we now possess, to

Xlll
assist tliem in glossing their own text, which occasionally differs, be it remembered, from the Latin Lindisfarne text. Hence it is that even the marginal notes of the one are reproduced in the other. In i. 6, we find a note on wudu hunig (wood- honey), viz. -p waxes on wudu binde; this is reproduced in the Rush worth gloss in the form — -f ivwxep on wude bendum. In v. 9, legio (legion) is explained in the Lindisfarne MS. — \jSusenef\l i xii *8usend -p is legio \jSis]1 wees diowla legio. This is exactly reproduced in the margin also of the Rushworth MS. One more example may suffice. It so happens that, in the Lindisfarne gloss, wherein capital letters are very rare indeed, the word Ne is written with a capital in xiii. 31. Precisely the same phenomenon occurs in the Rushworth gloss, only that the Ne is shifted into the preceding verse owing to confusion of transib'it with transibunt. This is more than coincidence ; it is proof. It is clear that Farman and Owun had the pages of the Lindisfarne MS. open before them whilst engaged in writing their own glosses. At the same time they exercised an independent judgment. At times they took leave to alter, or to omit a gloss as doubtful. In the case of double glosses they generally took the first. Thus, at p. Ill, xiv. 4, the Lindisfarne gloss for est is wees vel is; the Rushworth gloss is wees simply. In xiv. 12, the gloss to immolant is aseegcas vel ageetfevS in L., but ascegas only in R. Sometimes, both glosses are copied, in the order in which they occur. Thus, in xiv. 4, we find hia bulgon vel unwyr&e scegdon in the former, and hia bulgun vel unwyri6ne scegdun in the latter. The fact of the Rushworth gloss being, to a considerable extent, a mere copy of the older one, does not seem hitherto to have been fully perceived ; but it is a great help towards the right understanding of the later gloss, and sometimes even throws light upon the earlier one. It is not going far enough to say, as Mr Waring rightly says, that " both glossists drew from a common original ; " we can go still further, because we know what this original was.
In some cases, for example, the Rushworth gloss remains a mere riddle till the Latin of the Lindisfarne MS. has been consulted. I would particularly draw at- tention to such instances as the following. In iv. 36, the Rushworth MS. has ita ut erat, i. e. as he was ; but erat is actually glossed by hice werun, i. e. they were. This singular mistranslation is, however, at once accounted for when we observe that the Lindisfarne MS. has erant, with the gloss hia weron. Once more, in vi. 14, the Rushworth MS. has et propterea operantur virtutes lin] illo, where operant ur is glossed by an-woene sint, i. e. are unexpected ; the simple clue to which is that the Lindisfarne MS. has not operantur at all, but inopinantur, by which the gloss there given, viz. un-woen sint, was evidently suggested. The result may be briefly ex- pressed by saying that, whereas the gloss in the Lindisfarne MS. depends upon the Latin text of that MS. only, the gloss in the Rushworth MS. depends upon the Latin texts in both.
1 The words Susend and Us are supplied from conjecture ; they have been cut away by the binder of the volume.

Description of the Printed Editions.
I. The earliest edition of the Saxon Gospels is that printed by John Day in 1671, tA the suggestion of Matthew Parker, Archbishop of Canterbury, with a dedi- cation to Queen Elizabeth by John Foxe, the rnartyrologist, who probably had a considerable share in the work. For the purpose of ascertaining the exact critical value of the various editions, it will be convenient to analyse Chapter xi. of St Mark's Gospel in them all, as it is a short one, and occurs in the middle of the text.
Parker's edition is, no doubt, as Mr Thorpe says, closely copied from the Bodley MS. The chief variations from the MS. are these.
(n) The editor ignores the accents. These occur, in the MS., in the words bethanSa, (ncl, dJedon, osannd, com, due, etc, lareoiv, see, ge, agen, us.
(b) He prefers S as a final letter, printing cwofS for eweep, twynaft for twynap, and the like ; also getvurfte for gewurpe.
(c) He prefers y to i, printing hym, hyne, sy, nys, &c, where the MS. has him, hi tie, si, nis.
(d) He puts capital letters to proper names, according to the usual custom ; and expands all the contractions.
(e) The following seem to be misprints, viz. Assort for assan, v. 2 ; Hcelend for hcelende, v. 7; twelfe for twelf, v. 11; pare for po?ra, v. 18; Fulluhte for fulluht, v. 30.
(/) The following are corrections. He inserts ge after gelyfde in v. 31 ; he prints heefdon for the incorrect MS. reading cefdon in v. 32 ; and in v. 33, alters pincg into ping. The final eg, however, occurs sufficiently often in the Bodley and Cotton MSS., and might have been retained. The corrections shew that some other MS. was occasionally consulted, and the fact that the rubrics are inserted throughout tells us which, viz. the Cambridge one.
The edition may therefore be regarded as a tolerably correct print of MS. Bodley 441, with a few corrections from the Cambridge MS. The occasional mis- prints render it not quite trustworthy, but it often affords a probable clue to the peculiarities of the MS. which it follows. Thus, in the last word but one in the Gospel, we find in this edition the extraordinary form fyligendead in place of fyligen- dum. This is the actual reading, but the page on which it occurs is spurious ; by which I merely mean, that it is copied out in a modern hand. The edition is printed in the (so-called) Saxon characters.
II. An edition of the Gothic and Anglo-Saxon Gospels in parallel columns was printed by Junius and Marshall in 1665.
1 In the first two words the stroke over the i is not, however, a true accent, but only used to distinguish ni or in from m.
XV
This edition deserves a good deal of attention, and is executed with more critical ability than Mr Thorpe, in the preface to his own edition, seems to imply. It would have been still better had it been founded upon one of the MSS. them- selves, but the real basis of it is Parker's edition. Marshall's Observations on the Anglo-Saxon version, pp. 487 — 565, contain, as Wanley remarks, many things worthy of note. At p. 490, we read that Junius, taking Parker's edition in hand, collated it with the Bodley, Cambridge, and Corpus MSS., and gave the collations to Marshall for him to make use of as he thought fit. The Hatton MS. and the Rushworth gloss were also consulted. By help of these materials, Marshall corrected a large number of readings in Parker's edition, retaining those that seemed to be sufficiently correct. Turning to Chapter xi, we find that he has eliminated all the misprints noticed above in section (e), and gives the correct readings assan, hcelende, twelf, pcera, sacerdas, and fulluht. In the following instances he adopts readings from the Cambridge MS. viz. in ongean for ongen, v. 2; hig for hi, v. 4; tempel for tempi, v. 11 ; mynetera for mynetra, v. 15 ; sacerdas for sacerdos, v. 27 ; and in the addition of the words -pe on heofomim1 ys at the end of v. 26. In v. 33, he restores *8incg as the reading of the Bodley MS., though it is really written pincg. In v. 8, he corrects boceras to bogas, a correction suggested by the Hatton MS. Throughout he adopted the general rule of never giving any reading which may not be found in one or other of the MSS. ; the only drawback being that he does not always say which of the MSS. contains the reading given. It is clear, however, that the Cambridge MS. was the one first consulted ; then the Corpus, Hatton, and Rushworth MSS., in this order. In other respects he follows Parker's peculiarities, in (a) ignoring the accents ; (6) the frequent use of S as a final letter ; (c) the frequent use of y for i ; (d) the use of capital letters in proper names, and the expansion of contractions. He also introduces capitals frequently at the beginning of verses, but these occur in the MSS. The volume contains also the Mceso-Gothic version ; some notes on the differences between the readings of the Anglo-Saxon and Vulgate versions, p. 495 ; some notes on the rubrics, and the Anglo-Saxon words occurring in them, p. 508 ; some particular readings from the Bodley, Cambridge, Corpus, and Hatton MSS., which are denoted by the letters 0., C, B. and II. respectively2, p. 538 ; and notes upon passages in which the A. S. version seems to be corrupt or badly translated, p. 555 ; the whole displaying a good deal of care and painstaking.
III. An edition of A. S. Gospels was printed in 12mo. at London by Mr Thorpe in 1H42, with the title — " Da halgan godspel on Englisc."
This edition is said to be based upon the Cambridge MS., with occasional read- ings from the Corpus MS. The Bodley and Cotton MSS. were also consulted.

The Bhorl prefaoe is very misleading; the estimates there given of the editions of Parker and Marshall cannot be allowed to be correct. Thus, of Parker's edition he ra that *' it may be regarded as a faithful impression of a late manuscript (appa- rently Bodley 441), showing the tongue in its decline, and when rapidly verging towards that state of barbarism into which it sank about the beginning of the twelfth century." To this it may be objected that the Bodley MS. is a duplicate of the Cotton MS., which has some pretensions to being considered the earliest in existence; that some of the pages of the Bodley MS. are supplied incorrectly in a later hand ; and that Parker's edition is not free from several bad mis- prints. Next we read that " Marshall's edition exhibits an earlier, though, per- haps, not a purer text, which the singularly unfortunate idea of its editor, of supplying the omissions of the Saxon version, sometimes (and not always gram- matically) by his own words, and at others, from the old Northumbrian glosses, has, moreover, greatly contributed to vitiate." It may, however, be held that Marshall's text is not an earlier, but the same text, that it is very much purer owing to the careful way in which Junius made the collations, and that the words supplied where the MSS. are defective are enclosed within square brackets, and create no difficulty. But my chief reason for noticing these points is that Mr Thorpe's text is practically much the same as Marshall's which he condemns. It was clearly printed from a copy of Marshall's edition, in which two sets of alterations had been made. Firstly, the spellings of many unimportant words have been capriciously altered, so that, where Marshall prints his in Ch. xi. v. 1, Thorpe prints hys ; but where Marshall prints hys in v. 14, Thorpe prints his. In like manner, hine hyngrode in v. 12 is put for hyne hingrode, and many other changes of i for y and y for i are made, which it is needless to recount1: secondly, several readings are adopted from the Cambridge MS. which Marshall either overlooked or did not regard worthy of attention. Examples are ; getigedne for getiggedne, v. 4 ; heora for hyra, vv. 7 and 8 ; heowon for hcowun, v. 8 ; streowedon for streowodon, v. 8 ; peer for the second par in v. 13; ongan for ongann, v. 15; cypton for ciptun, v. 15; ondredon, v. 18; mcenigeo, v. 18; wyrt-ruman, v. 20 ; wyrigdest, v. 21; sig, v. 23; twec-na^S, v. 23; geweorfte, v. 23 ; gcbiddanne, v. 25 ; heofenlica, v. 25 ; heofenum, v. 25 (though in v. 26 Marshall's spelling heofonum is accidentally retained); acsige, v. 29. It is only in this sense that the edition can be considered as based upon the Cambridge MS. ; for otherwise the reader who actually compares it with the MS. will find several unimportant differences'. The result of the examination is that Mr Thorpe's edition is really a revised edition of Marshall's, and should have been so described. It is a valuable and useful edition because it is free from mistakes, and because the

readings can always be defended; but it is uncritical in the sense that the MS. authorities are not given.
IV. Dr Bosworth printed an edition of "The Gothic and Anglo-Saxon Gospels, in parallel columns with the versions of Wicliffe and Tyndale " in 8vo. ; London, 1865. In this edition, the text was, for the first time, based upon a better autho- rity, viz. the Corpus MS., and is very valuable as giving the text of that MS. with great exactness. The only variations throughout Chapter xi. are that, in v. 26, the word heqfonlica has been accidentally omitted ; that man is put for mann in v. 14; that ongann in v. 15 has been replaced by the more usual form ongan ; and that the evident misreading sacerdos in v. 27 has been corrected into sacer- das. The corrections ongen in v. 2 and bogas in v. 8 are supplied between square brackets. The only other differences are those purposely introduced by the editor, viz. the modern system of the use of capitals and of punctuation, a uniform system of accentuation, and a uniform use of the letters p and S, which are used some- what confusedly in the MS. The system adopted for the use of these letters is carefully explained at p. xxxii. of the editor's preface, and is based upon the modern English sounds of the words employed, p being put for the sharp sound of th in thin, and 8 for the flat sound of th in thine. The practice of the scribe of the MS. is nearly the contrary of this ; yet we find instances in which the letters have these theoretical values in fardp, v. 2 ; Da, vv. 7, 13, 18, 22 ; fte, v. 9 ; cwyp, v. 23 ; forgifap, v. 25 ; and ondrcedap, v. 32.
This edition has proved of very great service to me ; indeed, it is the only one of the four which is of value from a critical point of view, as representing a defi- nite text. I have collated it with the MS. throughout the whole gospel, so that, wherever my text varies from it, the variation has the authority of the MS. itself.
V. An edition of the Northumbrian glosses in the Lindisfarne MS. was printed in 1857 with the title : — " Die Vier Evangelien in Alt-Northumbrischer Sprache,...herausgegeben von Karl Wilhelm Bouterwek ; Gtitersloh, 1857." This is a very useful book, but I believe it to be founded upon a mistake, viz. upon a confusion between a gloss and a translation. A gloss, as may be seen by a glance at the right-hand pages of this volume, construes a text word for word, without much regard to the grammatical arrangement of the words of the vernacular tongue thus substituted. Its sole aim is to supply a clue to the meaning of the words of the original separately, that the original itself may be more easily understood. But a translation goes a great deal further ; it is conformed to the grammatical laws of the vernacular tongue, and is intended to replace the original so completely, that the reader may be rendered quite independent of it. Here, however, the editor has endeavoured to treat the gloss as a translation, by transposing the words so as to bring them into the Anglo-Saxon order, and supplying, within square brackets, the words which are wanting to complete the sense. The result
XV111
is not quite satisfactory, because the occasional mistranslations produce passages in which the Latin text is indispensable, and consequently ought not to have been dispensed with. Besides which, to a reader who wishes to compare the gloss with the text, the transposition of the words is a source of great inconve- nience. It would have been far better to allow the words of the gloss to stand in the same order as in the MS. In other respects, the edition is worthy of high praise, and is, in general, exact and careful. Whenever the editor varies from the .MS. (which his scheme sometimes compels him to do), he gives the MS. reading in a note, that it may not be lost. In general, the MS. is very closely followed, but the contractions are sometimes (not always) expanded, and capital letters are given to proper names.

It deserves to be particularly remarked, that these and similar errors generally occur in the case of small and unimportant words, and some are due to the difficulty of carrying out the system of forcing a gloss into the guise of a translation. Mistakes in the more important words are very rare. It must be added, that the volume contains an excellent glossary, with copious references ; also a preface and introduction, occupying 164 pages. An appendix contains the marginal notes, &c. written in the MS. ; the preface of St Jerome, both text and gloss ; the life of St Matthew, text and gloss ; the arguments of the sections of St Matthew, text and gloss ; the life of St John, text and gloss. All these are from the same MS., but do not exhaust its contents, as it also has lives of St Mark and St Luke, with arguments, and an argument of the sections of St John. See the account of the next edition.
1 This well illustrates the difference between a. gloss and gebedd (a prayer), but B. gives the translation gebeddes (of a translation; the Latin oratlonis is rightly glossed by prayer).

VI. The same editor, Herr Bouterwek, printed a volume entitled " Screadunga," i.e. Fragments, at Elberfeld, in 1858. This contains the lives of St Mark and St Luke and the arguments to St Mark's, St Luke's, and St John's gospels, omitted in his former volume. But besides this, the volume contains both the Latin text and gloss, of St Mark's gospel only, from the Rushworth MS. The following is an analysis of Chapter xi.
Latin text. 1. B. appropinquarent Ierosolymae et Bethaniae; MS. adpropinquarent hierusoliniae & bithaniae. 2. B. illuc; MS. illud. B. soluite; MS. solute {wrongly), 6. B. eis ; MS. illis. 7.

From this and further examination of the edition it readily appears that the Latin text and Northumbrian gloss are very differently represented in this edition ; the former is faulty, but the latter excellent. In fact, the Latin must really have been derived originally from some other source ; it is quite impossible that inpossuerunt could have been copied imponunt in v. 7, and praecedebant read as praetbant. It will be found, in fact, that Bouterwek's text is much more free from blunders than the careless text in the MS., and represents the text of the Lindisfarne MS. much more closely than that of the Rushworth MS. In short, this edition of the Latin text is not to be trusted for fidelity.
On the other hand, the Northumbrian gloss is represented with great exactitude ; the editor preserves the curls and marks of contraction of the MS., so as to produce almost a facsimile of it. Whatever errors occur are but slight, and I have found it well worth while to collate my own text with Bouterwek's throughout the entire gospel. My own text is, in fact, the same as his, but with the few errors corrected, and the contractions expanded.

\\
!-. LD. L854— -1865, is an edition of the Lindisfarnc and Rushworth Gospels, exhibiting both the Latin texts and English glosses. The first volume was edited by the Rev. J. Stevenson, the last three by Mr G. Waring. This ela- borate edition, the work of some years, was intended to shew the exact contents of both MSS., with the exception of the short lives of the Evangelists, the prefaces of St Jerome, and the arguments of the sections of the Gospels. It will be sufficient to speak here of the second volume only, containing St Mark's I ospeL The only intentional variations of the edition from the MSS. are in the use of capitals for proper names and the first words in each verse, the use of v for u, of j for i before vowels, of ce for ac, and in the frequent expansions of contractions. Unfortunately, however, either on account of some faults in the original transcript, or of some oversights in comparing the proofsheets with the MSS. themselves, the result is hardly satisfactory. A list of the errors in chapter xi. will shew their nature.

Latin text (Rushworth MS). The Latin text is exhibited by a collation at the foot of the page, but the collation is vitiated by being compared with a faulty text above. Several of the peculiarities of the Rushworth text are passed over; this I denote by the word "missed." The following are misreadings. 1. adpropinquaret. 2. adhuc nemo missed; ilium omitted. 4. inueniunt. 5. eis. 6. illis for frst eis missed ; praeceperant given as a reading, where MS. has praeci- perat ; dimisierunt missed. 7. impossuerunt given as a reading, where MS. has inpossuerunt. 11. hirusolyrna missed. 14. seternuni ; ex te fructum missed.

A large number of these errors are of no great moment, and several of them appear to be corrections deliberately adopted. I draw attention to them because otherwise the numerous variations between my own text and that of the Surtees Society might appear remarkable. My own plan is to give the uncor- rected readings of the MSS. themselves, from a conviction that in many in- stances students not only prefer to correct them for themselves, but may be better able to correct them than I am. It is by no means my wish to depreciate the value and worth of the enormous labour involved in these publications of the Surtees Society ; and the reader must be cautioned against forming too unfavourable an estimate of them from the numerous printer's errors in the first two or three opening chapters of this Gospel, wherein the letters p, w, and i> are confused, and n and u not always distinguished. In practice, I have found Mr Waring's volume extremely useful, and have collated it through- out with the Lindisfarne MS. For the Kushworth gloss I have preferred Bou- terwek's edition, as being more uniformly correct. In correcting proofsheets, I have consulted the MSS. themselves only. The present volume no doubt also contains a few errors, but they can hardly be numerous.
VIII. The first volume of the present work, viz., the Gospel of St Matthew edited by Mr Kemble, has been already spoken of. It may be as well to add that it does not follow the capitals of the MSS., and that the punctua- tion accords with the modern method. . The letters v and j are used before a vowel, where the MS. has u and i, the other usual editorial alterations of this character are made throughout. The larger sections are not numbered, and the reference-numbers to the subsections in other gospels are omitted. These are, per- haps, but small matters. It is of more importance to note that in the Canons printed on pages 4 — 7, a few of the numbers are misprinted. Thus, in the second column of St Luke in Canon Secundus, lines 18 and 19, the numbers 35 and 30 have been reversed by the printer into 53 and 63. In col. 1, line 20 of St Mark in the same Canon, 141 is printed 41, by the dropping out of 1 ; and in col. 4, 1. 1 of St Mark, 146 is printed 140 by the reversal of the last figure.
Wll
Plan of the Present Volume.
The present volume begins with the heading " Incipiunt capitulae ' secundum Marcum," as in the Lindisfarne MS. ; but this heading really refers to the sec- tions enumerated on p. 2. Next follows the note by the glossator Aldred already alluded to at p. xi. At fol. 89 is a short life of St Mark, headed " Incipit Argumentum," concerning which see the note at p. 141. The Latin text being corrupt, it can hardly be expected that the gloss should make very good sense. The most curious circumstance here narrated is the tradition that St Mark cut his thumb off, concerning which see a note by Mr J. S. Wood, of St John's College, Cambridge, in the Journal of Philology, vol. ii. p. 87, and pp. vii — xi. of the preface to Tischendorf's edition of the Codex Amiatinus. It is noteworthy that Aldred seems entirely to have misunderstood this, as he glosses amputasse by to tellanne vel to clamscmne (to tell or to cleanse), and pollicem by gehatne (promised). In the latter instance, he was evidently thinking of the Latin polh'citus. The homily numbered XVI. by "Wanley (Catalogue, p. 188) in MS. Cotton Julius E. 7, is on the Passion of St Mark, and it is followed by a second homily on the Four Evangelists2. In the latter, the notice of St Mark is so short that I here quote it entire, from the copy in MS. Camb. Univ. Lib. Ii. 1. 33, p. 220. It is written in a rude sort of rhythm, with not -very well-marked alliteration.
Se o]?er godspellere Marcus, se wees mid J?am aposde petre
ge-togen on lare. and to ge-leafan ge-biged.
Petrus woes his god-feeder & hine gode ge-strynde.
& he swa lange folgode his fulluht-faeder petre.

Ne ge-seah he crist on life, ac he leornode swa-J>eah of petres bodunge. hu he 8a boc ge-sette.
6 petrus hi sceawode. & sealde to rsedenne.
This may be translated as follows : —
The second Evangelist Mark, who was by the apostle Peter Instructed in lore, and to belief turned ;
1 So in the MS. At p. 2, it is rightly spelt capitula. (now 19S), Camb. Univ. Lib. Ii. 1. 33, and Cotton Vitellius

Peter was his godfather, and begat him in the Lord. And he so long followed his baptismal father Peter, Until he instituted with true belief The second Christ's book (gospel) in Italian land. He saw not Christ alive, but he learnt nevertheless From Peter's preaching, how he should make the book ; And Peter considered it, and delivered it for reading.
At p. 2 are printed the " Capitula Lectionum," or short summaries of the contents of the various portions of the Gospel read at various times.
The whole gospel is divided into 46 such portions, as indicated by the capital Roman numbers in the margins of the right-hand pages. Section XL, for example, is said to contain the parable of the sower. Compare the capital " XL" in the margin at the beginning of chapter iv. p. 27.
This is, perhaps, the most convenient place in which to add that the Gospel is further divided into smaller sections, generally known as the " Ammonian sections1," which correspond to sections in the other gospels, according to the tables printed in Mr Kemble's edition of St Matthew, already mentioned on p. xxi. Thus, at ch. iv. ver. 1, the 36th section of St Mark, as shown by Canon Secundus, corresponds to the 76th section of St Luke and the 131st of St Matthew. I have throughout taken the liberty of printing the number of each subsection in Arabic numerals, as in Mr Kemble's book, though the MS. has Roman numerals! only.
At the bottom of p. 5 is printed the imperfect table of lessons, which is to be read in five separate lines, as follows. I omit the gloss.
Sabbato sancto mane.
Post penticosten in ieiunium feria .iiii.
cottidiana.
Die dominica de indulgentia passio dommi nostri iesu christi.
feria .ui. de albas (sic) paschae.
The lessons to which these refer are left obscure owing to the lack of pre- fixed numbers. Probably these were to have been inserted in red letters, but were omitted by the rubricator. The tables of lessons to the other gospels are similarly obscure. A note in Marshall's edition (p. 513) seems to indicate a con- nection between the first line and the rubric in Camb. MS. at Chap. vi. 45 — Dis sceal on sasternes doeg ser halgan dsege — which would suggest that section

pi (XVIIII.) on p. ">1 is the one referred to; but this requires further in- timation. The entry '* cottidiana " occurs frequently, sometimes three or four times in succession, in the tables of lessons prefixed to the other gospels.
All this preliminary matter occurs in the Lindisfarne MS. only, and has been printed by Bouterwek in his "Screadunga" or Fragments, printed at Elber- feld in quarto, 1858; pp. 1 — 4\
The manner in which the various texts and the results of collation of them with other MSS. are arranged has been already explained.
In the method of printing the texts, &c, I have been entirely guided by the one sole object of presenting to the reader, as nearly as possible, the exact peculiarities of the MSS. The capital letters, accents, and points are closely fol- lowed ; and, in order to indicate the contractions clearly, I have adopted the very convenient method employed in works issued by the Early English Text Society, of representing their equivalents by the use of italic letters. Thus, in i. 3, col. 1, the word p&m is written J?ii in the Corpus MS., and in the gloss to i. 7 in the Lindisfarne MS. the word sefter is written " seft," with an upward curl attached to the t. It will be convenient to mention here a few peculiarities of the MSS.
Left-hand 'pages, first column. The contractions used in the Corpus MS. are very few, the commonest being a stroke over a vowel to denote m, as in pa,m., halgum, him, written pa, halgii, hi. We also find J?on for pomie. The contrac- tions 1 for and*, 'f for p&t, and cw. for cw ce*8 have been left as in the MSS. Similar contractions occur in MSS. A., B., and C, quoted in the Various Read- ings. The scribe used three kinds of points or stops, but two of them are altogether equivalent and answer nearly to the modern comma. He expresses this short pause either by a single dot, or by a stop resembling an inverted semicolon (!), but with a curl to the left instead of the right. These I here denote by an ordinary full stop. His longer pause is denoted by a kind of semicolon, as here printed, and the reader will soon observe that it is almost invariably followed by a capital letter. Another most curious result (one only to be discovered when a MS. is exactly followed) is the ornamental value which the scribe of the MS. assigns to the initials p and D. As these were, in his eyes, precisely equivalent, he adorns the MS. by writing them boldly, and, in many passages, alternately. Thus, in vi. lb', p. 44, we have initial D ; this is followed by p in verse 18, D in verse 19, p in verse 21, and so on alter- nately at the beginnings of verses 24, 26, 29, 37, and 38. So again at the begin- nings of verses 24, 27, 28, 29, 33 in chapter vii ; verses 5, 6, 12, in chapter

viii ; verses 1, 2, 4, 5 in chapter ix ; verses 27, 29, 30, 32, 33 in ch. ix ; vv. 2, 3, 4, 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, 23, 24, 28, 29, 36, 38, 39 in ch. x; &c. Of course there are numerous examples also of the contrary ; but, in the last case at least, the intention is obvious, and is far more striking in the MS. than in the print. The same alternation is sometimes found in the large capitals, which were painted in afterwards ; see x. 46 (p. 84), xi. 1 (p. 86), xi. 15 (p. 88), xi. 27 (p. 90) ; and especially note xiii. 1 and 3 (p. 102). The supposed necessity of alternation was regulated to some extent by the position of the letters on the page. That our ancestors really looked upon such an alternation as an embellishment is proved beyond a doubt by the colours of the painted letters in the MSS. Thus, in the Cambridge MS., the large capitals are painted alternately blue, red, green, red, blue, red, green, red, &c, throughout the whole of the gospels. In the Hatton MS. , blue and red letters alternate ; in the Bodley MS., they are red and green. When not employing capitals, the scribe has a decided preference for \ at the beginning, and S at the end of a word, though we also find instances of a contrary usage.
The accents in the Corpus MS. are used sparingly, but, in general, correctly. The following are the foreign words in which an accent is used, viz :— abiathar, bethania, corban, decapoleos, genesar, herode (dat.), hierasenorum, iairus, iordane, (dat), isaaces, osanna, sidone, sidonis, tira, tirum. Of Anglo-Saxon words, we find the following cases of substantives : adlum (dat. pi.), arfata, belaf, bocerum, bogas, dom, dune, ear, fyr, gast, gerynu, hiwum, hlaf, hlisa, hrof, hus, lafe, lar, lareow, lie, man (wickedness), mode, mysan, non-tide (xv. 34), rice, rices, sae, sa?d, saedere, scyp, sicol, stan, straete, tid, tima, tun, j?ecene, ]?6rnas, wa, westene, wic, wlf, win, wingeard, wite, yst ; also the dative bee, and the 'plurals seep, swyn. Also the adjectives: — an, ece, god, geunret, hal, laman, mare, manfullan, nan, niwne, niwan, stiintan, j?aeslic, undone, unrot, weste, wode ; the singular word ece in ix. 45 is written for ece. The numerals : — fif, tyne.
The pronouns : me, min, we, us, Jm, J?m, j?e, ge, he, hi, se (xii. 21). The parts of verbs: — adrifS, aris, aras, am, set, eeton, bigdon, com, comon, cwsede, do (donne, ge-don, dej?), eode, f?emende, foron, on-fo, ge-fon, ga, gan (agan, gegan, in-agan), geomrode, het, a-hof, hoh, a-hoh, aBt-hrine, a3t-hran, on-hran, let, for-let, for-laetan, laeran, lsesgende, naeron, namon, nat, ssedon, asende, siwa}?, be-smitan, a3t-soc, stigan, forS-stop, ge-swac, swor, sy, syn (iv. 12), urnon, ge-wat, wa?re, ytt.
The adverbs : — agen, ser, furj^on, gyt, hwi, hwon, gelomlice, ma, na, nu, J?a (iii. 4; generally J?a), up, ut, ute. The prepositions: — agen, agen (xiii. 8), ongen (xiii. 8). The prefixes: — a- in a-fserede (xvi. 8), a-hangen (xv. 15), asceaca^, awri- ten ; ut- in ut-gan, tit-gangende ; and (once only) un- in un-f?wogenum (vii. 2). The accents are, however, very frequently omitted, as the readers were supposed to be able to supply the pronunciation for themselves. In the Bodley MS., the
d
\\\ 1
ms are written much in the same places; in the Cambridge MS., they are stil! Bcaroer.
The component parts of a word are often written a little way apart. This I denote by a hyphen ; thus, the words be-foran, ge-fullod are be forau, ge fullod in the MS.
The errors of the Corpus MS. are left uncorrected ; the various readings will in general point out where they occur. We should, however, particularly note the error boceras, i. e. scribes> for bogas, boughs, in xi. 8. The fact of its occurrence in MSS. A. B. C. as well as in the Corpus text shews quite clearly that all are really from the same source. In the Royal MSS. boceras was first written, but altered to bogas, and hence the scribe of the Hatton MS. was enabled to write boges, correctly.
In quoting the various readings, I have strictly followed Mr Kemble's plan, of giving every variation of spelling, with the sole exception of 3 for p, and y for /, which are used interchangeably in all the MSS. It follows that all the MSS. are, for all practical purposes, printed in extenso, and any passage in any of the MSS. (except the imperfect Cotton MS.) can be easily reproduced, with the exception of contractions, and the uncertainty about \> or *8, and y or i. Thus in i. 3, the Cambridge MS. should have (judging from the notes) the reading — clypigende stefn on )?am westene ge-earwiaS drihtnes weg. doS rihte his siSas ; whilst the Royal MS. has — clepigende stefen on J?ani westene. ge-garwiaS drihtnes weg. doS rihte his sySas.
Left-hand pages, column 2. The text and marginal notes (written as rubrics in the MS.) are from the Hatton MS.; the various readings from the earlier Royal MS. The chief peculiarities of the Hatton MS. are the introduction of k for c, as in kymd, bokeres, kydde, for the earlier cy 7)1*8, boceras, cydde\ and a frequent confusion between the letters d and S. These latter are written exactly alike, with the excep- tion of a slight stroke through the upper part of the latter, so that the omission of this stroke turns it into a d. I print it as in the MS.; and hence the form seed for sec^, i. 37. In i. 32, we find the reverse change, geworSen being written for geworden, and *8rid>8e for ^Sridde. When the double letter 8S occurs, the stroke is sometimes drawn through one letter only, generally the latter ; thus odSe is written for o'S'Se in vii. 12. The letters J? and *8 are used indiscriminately at the beginning of a word, but in the middle or at the end we have, almost always, S only. Only one sort of stop, a single point, is used ; it is here denoted by a full stop. The accents are very few, as they also are in the Royal MS. ; we may note them in
1 The letter k appears towards the end of some of the Tib. B. 4. The word karissimum occurs in the Latin text MSS. of the A.S. Chronicle, as, e.g., in the mysterious word of the Lindisfarne MS., in Mark xii. 6. hewpat, under the date 1056, in MSS. Cotton Tib. B. 1 and
XX vu
the foreign words iudeeisce, galilee, iudee, and in the native words ansiene, agan, ahof, aj>ene, see, us, ascaceS, god, ga, pa. There are a few downright blunders, such as un for id, iii. 23 ; witege for ivite, v. 29 ; cipfata and manslcege for «r/a£a and mcestlinga, vii. 4 ; brithmen for britsenum, viii. 8 ; hyfocle for lufode, x. 21 ; &c. One change of spelling, viz. the substitution of c/i for c, was probably due to Norman influence ; examples of it are ich for ic, and eches for eces. But the most interest- ing point about this text is the exact evidence it affords of the manner in which the older inflexions of the language were weakened, thus leading the way to their ultimate total or partial suppression. By comparing it with the older text beside it, we literally see the process of this change going on before our eyes. These weakenings were accomplished by the frequent substitution of the slight vowel e for the more distinct a, o, and u, not only when these vowels occur at the end of a word, but when they occur near the end. Hence we find -an, -as, -aft replaced by -en, -es, -eft ; -od, -oda, -on by -ed, -ede, -en ; and -w weakened, not merely into -em, but into -en. Thus, the suna, lendenu of the earlier text become sune, lendene ; sprecan, dagas, fulkcS, gecostnod, gelufoda, penedon, dagum become likewise sprecen, dages, fulled, gecostned, gelufode, peneden, dagen. We even find e for y, as in gelefeft for gelyfa'S. The adoption of en for an was but the prelude to dropping this final con- sonant altogether ; so that, whilst, in ii. 5, Iceman becomes lamen, two verses above it is written lame; whilst in ii. 4 we find asende for asendan in the plural. Nothing can be clearer than the gradual process of corruption of the infinitive moods of verbs. In earlier MSS. we find, e.g. singan, to sing; shortly before a.d. 1200, it is singen; soon after that date it became singe, a dissyllable. About a.d. 1400, the necessity of sounding the final -e was but slight; but the word continued to be often writ- ten singe for some time after the final -e ceased to be pronounced. In course of time, it was generally rejected as useless, and hence our modern sing. This change took place still earlier in the North, where the common ending of the infinitive, even in early times, was -a rather than -an. The text of the Hatton MS. shews us the first step towards many such changes very clearly. It may be compared with the latter part of the A. S. Chronicle, from about a.d. 1120 onwards. The rubrics in the Hatton MS. are nearly all found in the Royal MS. in exactly the same places without variation of spelling. The spelling of the Royal MS. is, in general, of an older character, though here also we sometimes find d for i6, as in siwad for siwaft, ii. 21.
Right-hand pages. The distinguishing feature of the texts here printed (viz. the Lindisfarne text with its gloss above, and the Rushworth gloss without its text below), is that the glosses are in the Northumbrian dialect, and so present a strik- ing contrast to the West-Saxon texts opposite. The Latin text is written with but few contractions, which are denoted by italics wherever they occur, so that spiritus, sanctus, for example, are expansions of sps, scs. We have frequently the very
d2
XXV111
common contraction ilis tor ihetua or \<>sus\ and xps for chris/us, where the x is the Creek X (eh) and the p the Greek P (r). There are a few bad mistakes in the Latin, such as cum for cum in ii. 4, nubimus for nubibus in xiii. 26, lerner for /,/,</• in xiii. 28, and the like; most of these are noticed in the Appendix, and are not to be regarded as misprints. The letter u (never v) is used through- out ; the diphthong a is generally written ae. A few accents occur, the words has, die, and nc, for example, being written litis, die, and ne ; p. 103. There is no punctuation in the Lindisfarne MS. The full stops merely denote the end of a verse, and should, strictly speaking, have been omitted. The glossator generally denotes the contraction er by an upward curl, and m by a straight stroke ; but nearly all the contractions are alike represented by a short wavy stroke, evidently intended to have a vague meaning. Thus the italicised letters in the words caphar/iawm, uutcdlice, beforan, hieruscdem, f\i\\vihteres, are all denoted by much the same stroke, and the italic letters are intended to denote this. In the last case, for instance, the word is spelt fulwih, followed by a curl ; and if the reader wishes to expand such a word in any other manner, he is of course at liberty to do soc. Near the beginning of the book, I have left the word hsdi as written ih the MS., but I have found it better to expand it into heelend, h&lende, or hoslendcs, as required by grammar. This can cause no difficulty. Elsewhere I have left the contraction t, meaning vel, as written, because it conveniently separates the double glosses. Thus in i. 10, in ipso is interpreted to mean either in ^Scem (in them) or on him, the latter only being correct. Sometimes i is written without being followed by a second gloss (vii. 23). In some words, a small u is written above the line ; this is denoted by an italic u. The contraction 3 for and is used throughout. The letter p never occurs, except when used with a stroke through it cf) as a contraction for pcet. In a few cases, a d is converted into S by an unne- cessary stroke through it, as in zebdSies for zebedies. Several accents occur over long vowels ; these are all printed as in the MS. Some of the foreign names and hard words are left unglossed; and many of the glosses are quite wrong, and exhibit some curious errors. For examples of omissions, see vii. 4. For an example of error, observe the word bifgedon (they trembled) as a translation of fremebant in xiv. 5; the worthy glossator was clearly thinking of tremebant3. In iii. 19, James the son of Alpheus is called 'Jacob the white' {albas). Where the Latin text is wrong, the glossator still carefully follows it; hence the misreading eum for cum in ii. 4 is translated by hine (him). It must be observed also that the gloss being intended to give the sense of each word separately, rather in order that the reader

inadvertently printed 'ihetua, but this can hardly mislead s See the Lindisfarne and Rushworth Gospels (Surtees

might understand the Latin than that he might substitute an English version for it, the inflexions are not always adapted to the laws of syntax'. The peculiarities of orthography and inflexion in these glosses have been described fully by Mr Warino-2, who shews what are the West-Saxon forms corresponding to the Northumbrian ones. But it may, nevertheless, be convenient to shew here, conversely, what are the North- umbrian forms corresponding to the West-Saxon ones. I consider only the Gospel of St Mark, commencing with ii. 16, where Owun's gloss begins in the Rushworth MS. The chief variations are in the vowels and diphthongs ; I omit some of rare occurrence, and take the Lindisfarne MS. (L.) first.

\\ c also frequently find in L. the double vowels an, ee, it, m, &c. ; as in ingoott, iii. 27; jr<r-suigo, v. 42; gesiist, v. 81; huu, iv. 13. Observe also the curious forms irwueeord, vii. 21; bchwald, xii. 41; ongeaegn, xi. 2; necenig, xii. 34 j .^r< , vi. 48.
As regards the consonants, we find occasionally the following changes.
1. W. S. g sometimes becomes L. c, as in ftrounc, L. viii. 34, for W. S. prdwung; cf. onfence, vi. 41. Conversely, we sometimes (but rarely) find W. S. c becoming L. g, as in Ucceterum, L. legerum, vii. 6. At the end of a word, we find in L. both eg and gc, as in rowincg, vi. 48 ; gebrcegc, vi. 41.
2. W. S. c frequently becomes L. h, as in L. ah (passim) for ac. Sometimes also we find in L. ch, as in carchern, vi. 27 ; michel, iv. 5.
3. The letters d and S are frequently interchanged in L. ; possibly from their similarity of form, as in the Hatton MS. Ex. dcere for 'Scere, v. 41 ; m$& for mid, v. 18.
4. The letters d and t are also frequently interchanged ; as in sexdig for sextig, iv. 8 ; gemoetat for gemoetad, iv. 19. Cf. gebloedsade, vi. 41.
5. Other peculiarities of MS. L. are the prefixing of an aspirate, as in lirceste, iv. 39 ; hlifige, v. 23 ; the frequent insertion of r, as in efern for efen, iv. 35 ; o)idreardo)i for ondredon, v. 15 ; the insertion of w, as in cioom for com, iii. 20 ; the insertion of u between w and r, as in ivurafSia, x. 41 ; the use of wu for K at the beginning of a word, as in wurnon, vi. 55. We also often find a consonant doubled at the end of a word, as in sibb, v. 34 ; sprcecc, iv. 34; blann, iv. 39; upp, iv. 6; gescett, iv. 1. But instead of gg we find c# or gc, as in rowincg, vi. 48 ; gebrcegc, vi. 41 (above noted) ; and instead of tt we find £cZ, as in hivcetd for Jnvcett, iv. 40.
Inflexions. The noun-endings in L. are rather anomalous and inconsistent. The most remarkable point is the frequent occurrence of final -o, especially in the nom. and ace. pi., as in suno, iii. 17 ; ivuiSmito, iii. 22 ; ilco, iii. 23 ; fato, iii. 27 ; it also occurs in the singular, as in ivrcefto, iii. 21 ; eor'&o, iv. 1. But the fact is, that the terminating vowel must have been indistinct, so that we not only find synno, iii. 28, but synna, iv. 12; just as in v. 12 we find the pres. part. pi. ending in -endo in cwoeftendo, but in -ende in fcerende in the next verse. Another point worthy of remark is that the termination -an (of Eask's first declension) does not appear, but is replaced by -es or -ess, -e, -a, or -ox. Ex. tunga, tungces, earo, vii. 33 — 35.
The pronouns present some remarkable forms, such as mines for min, x. 47 ; uiec and meh for me, xiv. 6, 7 ; ftines for 'Sin, v. 19 ; Sec for Se, v. 34 ; ivoe
1 Lind. and Rush. Gospels (Surtees Soc.) ; pt. iv. p. exxii.
XXXI
for we, xi. 33 ; usra as gen. pi. of the first person, xii. 7 ; usic for us ; gie for ge; iuih, itth for eow, ix. 19. In the third person, we find fern. nom. hiu, vi. 24 ; fern. dat. hir, v. 33 ; fern. ace. hia, xiv. 6 ; hea, xiv. 5 ; pi. nom. and ace. hia, gen. hiora, vi. 6 ; dat. him. The dual form is avoided ; see x. 36 and xi. 2. Of possessive pronouns, we may specially note *&inra, x. 37 ; hver, x. 43 ; iuer, xi. 25 ; uteres, x. 5 ; and, as an instance of irregularity, iuerra in xi. 25, as compared with iuero in the following verse. Of demonstratives, we may note fern. nom. ftiu, v. 32 ; fern. gen. "Scerce, vi. 22, and dative dcere for Stere, v. 41 * also fern. nom. ftios, xiii. 30 ; fern. ace. ftius, xii. 10 ; and, as an instance of irregularity, fern. nom. das (for ftas) and ftius in the same verse (viii. 12), and immediately afterwards the false concord of ftisttm, dat. masc. with cneoreso, dat. fern. Such false concords are by no means uncommon.
But it is in the verbs that the peculiarities of the dialect are most distinctly marked. Thus, the infinitive never ends in -an, but in -a, and less frequently in -e, as in wyrce, gedoa, iii. 4 ; cf. ofslaa, vi. 19 ; losiga, iii. 6 ; bodiga, hi. 14 ; gereqfage (miswritten gereofa ge) iii. 27. In the present tense, the first person commonly ends in -o or -a, as scego, v. 41 ; milsa, viii. 2 ; the second person in -es, -as, or ces, as styres, v. 35 ; gegiuas, vi. 23 ; doces, xi. 28 ; also in -is, as hvfis, x. 21 ; the third in -es, -as, -eS or -crS, its irregularity being strikingly pointed out in such glosses as semes* vel sauaft, iv. 16; saueft vel sauas, iv. 18; slepiafS vel slepeft 8, iv. 27 ; again, hcefe'S and hcefes occur in consecutive verses, iii. 29, 30. The plural is commonly in -as or -es, but also in -aft or -eft ; as in gecunnas, iv. 13 ; stondes, iii. 31 ; soecaft, iii. 32 ; doeft, vii. 9. In the second person, the pronoun gie is often attached to the verb, as in oncncaioesgie, vii. 18 ; this is commonest in the case of arogie (ye are). The termination -e gene- rally indicates the subjunctive mood, in all persons; as in ic see, xiv. 44; ftu hcebbe, x. 21; he gesege, viii. 24; we byege, vi. 37; gie geonge, vi. 10; hia were, iii. 14. In the past tense plural, the common ending is -on, sometimes -un (cwomun, iii. 13) ; but occasionally the striking form -es or -ces appears,, as in cewades vel mersades, iii. 12 ; mcehtces, ii. 10. Sometimes the ending is cut down to -e, as in mcehte woe, ix. 28.
In the imperative singular, verbs are reduced to their stem, as in aris, v. 41 ; in the plural, the ending is commonly -as or -es, as in sceacas, vi. 11 ; cymes, vi. 31 ; the irregularity being well shown in the gloss byeges vel ceapas, vi. 36 ; but observe w turn's, vi. 10. The past part, of weak verbs ends in -ad or -ed, which are sometimes changed into -at or -et ; as in geboetad, iii. 5 ; gecerred, iii. 21 ; gesettet, iv. 21. We must not omit to remark the occasional appearance of -m at the end of the 1st p. s. pres. in geseom, viii. 24; doom, xi. 33; beom,
1 Possibly iauet may be meant for the passive voice here, just as -cs is so used in Danish. - Miswritten tleped in v. 39.
xxxn
i\. 1!> ; in xl 20 we find the gloss ic doe vel doom. This is a relic of the old persona] pronoun which appears in the Sanskrit dsmi, Greek ei/xi, Latin sum, and English am. Of the verb to be, the commonest forms are 1 p. s. beom, 3 p. s. fcro" (ix. 35), pi. bi'Son (xi. 25 ; x. 8). From the infin. worn (ix. 35), we have 2 p. s. ar%, iii. 11 ; 3 p. s. is; pi. si/nt or axon, both of which occur in vii. 4 ; in the 2 p. pi. the pronoun is almost invariably suffixed, thus forming arogie, v. 39. Pt. tense wees, pi. weron, woeron; subj. pres. se, sie, x. 38, 39; ', xiv. 44. Imp. s. ivces, as in the famous phrase ivces hal (v. 34), the original of our wassail.
All these examples are from the Lindisfarne gloss only. It is hardly necessary to say more of the Rushworth gloss than that it represents the same dialect in a slightly later form, and presents similar terminations. Yet it has some peculiarities of its own, amongst which we must not omit to observe the very frequent substitution of u for o (especially -un for -on), and the use of gi- as a prefix instead of ge-. We often find -a and -o reduced to the less definite -e, as in siofune for seofana, viii. 20 ; twelfe for twelfo, iii. 14 ; diphthongs replaced by simple vowels, as in ge for gie; u replaced by iv, as in cioafS for cuoe^S; and the general system of terminations simplified, so that the grammar of the Rush- worth gloss becomes much more regular than that of the other, the common endings of the present and past tenses plural being -as and -un respectively.
In concluding the Preface, I wish to express my thanks to the Syndics of the Pitt Press for undertaking the publication of this volume.
