Contributions to the study of the "Jivaka-pustaka".

The India Office Library MS Ch ii 003 contains 73 folios of a medical text written alternatingly in Sanskrit and Khotanese. The folios are numbered from 44 to 116. Although the text ends in the middle of a Sanskrit recipe, the beginning of the text has survived. As no title and no colophon are extant and as the text has not been traced elsewhere H. W. Bailey assigned the text the convenient label Jwaka-pustaka ‘The Book of Jivaka’. The text begins as an exposition made by the Bhagavant to the famous physician Jīvaka, called elsewhere in Khotanese ‘the king of physicians’.

The Music of Oxford, Bodleian Library MS Lincoln College Latin 89

Lincoln College MS Latin 89 is really two manuscripts bound together, the second of which is the remains of an early 15th-century choirbook. In Coxe's catalogue of manuscripts in Oxford colleges and halls, no mention is made of the leaves containing music, although the copy in the Bodleian Library has a supplementary entry for the music, handwritten at the bottom of the page and easily missed. It is perhaps Coxe's omission that is responsible for the manuscript's exclusion from Anselm Hughes's invaluable hand-list and subsequently even from RISM.

The Work of the Morgan Master at Winchester and English Painting of the Early Gothic Period

M. R. James once remarked how common it was to find leaves missing from medieval books; and, indeed, once separated from their manuscript fabrics, many such leaves had little hope of surviving to modern times.1 By happy chance, one detached and illustrated leaf from the Winchester Bible has weathered its wanderings and now ranks among the most esteemed treasures of the Pierpont Morgan Library (ms M. 619; Figs. 1, 2).2 The “Morgan Leaf” is of special interest to the art historian because it contains the work of the artist who was probably the first English illuminator to step beyond the bounds of Romanesque art into the Gothic world. He has been named the Master of the Morgan Leaf, but for the sake of brevity, he will in this article be called the Morgan Master. The first purpose of the present study will be to verify the traditional attribution of the Morgan Leaf to the scriptorium which produced the Winchester Bible (Winchester Cathedral Library). Secondly, I shall attempt to date the Morgan Master's per...

The Beginnings of Christianity According to the Samaritans

The Hebrew text printed below is published for the first time. It is an extract from the Samaritan chronicle no. II, sometimes know erroneously as Sepher ha-ramim ( = chronicle). The basic text is printed unaltered here and it is from the John Rylands Library MS 1142 in the Moses Gaster Collection. The extract is unrelated in terms of content to the preceding and succeeding material, so that nothing is lost by publishing this extract.

A Fifteenth-Century Botanical Glossary

Huntington Library MS HM 64 is a collection in 197 folios of some seventeen tracts of varying size and content. It was written in England apparently about 1475. This provisional date is based on the relative chronology of a series of related glossaries, several of which will be discussed below. That this date applies to the codex as a whole may be inferred from the fact that it is written throughout in the same hand and that the pagination in a contemporary, if not the same, hand is continuous. What little is known of the later history of the codex will be found in W. J. Wilson's study of alchemical manuscripts.1 It may be, owing to the heterogeneous nature of the material in the codex, that it has not been examined as carefully as other English writings of a similar nature and date. The contents were described by Wilson, though he did not examine it personally. His interest in the alchemical portions precluded a detailed analysis of all of the tracts. Consequently, his descriptions of the nonalchemical portions are brief and, in at least one place, of questionable accuracy. In addition to the usual extracts and anonymous pieces, there is a plague tract, several astronomical and alchemical tracts, and three glossaries. These latter occupy folios 125r135r, 176v-183v, and 184r,-19Ov. It is the last of these three glossaries, described by Wilson as A dictionary of herbs in Latin, which I shall discuss here. These fourteen leaves contain a glossary of plants, minerals, and animal products used as drugs plus a few miscellaneous items denoting pharmaceutical equipment and other matters of interest to the physician and apothe-

The Lute Music of MS Royal Appendix 58

THE OLDEST preserved examples of English lute music, about fortyfour in number, are found in three manuscripts: (1) British Museum Royal Appendix 58, fols. 51v-52, 54'-56 probably copied in sometime after 1551; (2) the same library's Stowe 389, fols. 1, 120-122v written by one Raphe Bowle to learne to playe on his Lutte in anno 1558; and (3) Folger Shakespeare Library MS V.a.159 (acq. no. 448.16), fols. 3-13, i.e. that part of the lute music copied out perhaps as early as the 1550's and certainly before 1571.1 In all three sources the tablature is crudely executed, difficult to decipher, clearly the work of amateurs; and though of no great artistic worth, the pieces are of great interest for what they tell us of English instrumental music at the beginning of Elizabeth's reign. Their many concordances, with each other and with other sources, literary and musical, give evidence of the importance this music had for the popular repertoire of the 1550's and 60's.

New Light on ‘O Mistresse mine’

Mr.John H. Long's plea for more documentary evidence in ‘the case of “O Mistresse mine” ‘ has prompted me to supply some of that evidence which has come to my attention in connection with a study of John Gamble's Commonplace Book (New York Public Library MS Drexel 4257). I offer it as a postscript to Mr.Long's comments (RN VII, 15-16) and to Mr. Sidney Beck's stimulating paper on the subject (RN VI, 19-23). The Gamble MS contains a seventeenth-century setting of the ‘O Mistresse mine’ tune which has hitherto escaped the notice of investigators. This setting is, in fact, the only known contemporary source of the tune with an accompanying text. It will be recalled that the versions upon which all previous speculation has been based are instrumental versions, the first from Morley's Consort Lessons (1599), the second from the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book (ca. 161).
