At the commencement of the volume is the following head- 
ing or title: ‘* Tractatum sequentem de Provincia Hibernia 
eoncinnavit, R. adm. P. Donatus Monzus, dum esset Provin- 
cialis et hue ex Hibernia ad res hujus collegij S. Anthonii or- 
dinandas advenisset.” It may be remarked that this appears 
an interesting and valuable historical document, and, together 
with the papers before mentioned upon the Irish Franciscans, 
must be of great value in preparing a correct ‘* Monasticon 
Hibernicum.” Of course, their value is much increased when 
we remember that they were compiled under the directions of 
the heads of the Irish college of St. Anthony. ‘The text of 
this history commences thus: ‘ Provincia ordinis S. Fran- 
cisci in Regno Hyberniz.” 
Vol. VIII. (3201). This volume, which is a large folio, 
appears to be a ‘ Collectanea” of the Lives and Acts of 
Saints for the month of March; probably it formed part of the 
Bollandist collection, although it has not their library mark. 
The above number is stated m the ‘ Inventaire” to be ‘* Vita 
_ §. Patricii,”’ and under this title will be found four different 
lives of the Saint. The second life bears date 1641, and the 
third is extracted from Camden. There are also two copies 
of the ‘‘ Purgatory;” the first, ‘*ex MS. Hiber. Min. Lova- 
nii ;’ and the other, **ex MS. Maximini Treveris;”’ besides 
these there is a life of St. Senan, ** ex MS. Hibern. Seminar. 
Salamaticensis Soc. Jesu,* coll. cum MS. R. P. Ward ;” and 
also a long poem and hymn to this Saint; some of the other 
lives appear to have been extracted ‘ex MS. F*. J. Colgani.” 
This volume has been recently bound, and I was unable to 
discover any name or date, &c., indicating the compiler, or 
where it was written. 
Vol. IX. (3824, 3825). The first part of this volume, 
which is a large, thin quarto, is occupied with the correspon- 
* This MS. is now in the Burgundian Library. See vol. xxii. in this Cata- 
logue.
