NOTES AND QUERIES.

actually struck out, the " Three Persons of the 

 Trinity " give place, in order that the Virgin may 

 be worshipped instead ! 



Struck out : — 



" Patrem immensse majestatis ; 

 Venerandum tuum, verum, et unicnm Filium ; 

 Sanctum quoque Faracletum Spiritum." 



Substituted : — 

 " Matrem divinae majestatis, 

 Venerandam te veram Regis coelestis puerperam, 

 Sanctam quoque dulcedinem et piam." 



Can it be this appalling substitution which first 

 suggested the idea that the three older versicles 

 are an interpolation ? Thomas Boys. 



THE SUFFRAGAN BISHOP OF IPSWICH. 

 (2 nd S. viii. 225. 296. 316.) 

 In reference to Thomas Manning, suffragan 

 Bishop of Ipswich, in 1536, perhaps the following 

 information relative to the terms on which he re- 

 tired from the office of Prior of Butley, in Suffolk, 

 may neither be useless to inquirers, nor destitute 

 of interest generally. I copy it from considerable 

 collections made by myself some years since for 

 the History of St. Mary's College, intended to 

 have been established in Ipswich by Cardinal Wol- 

 sey, and better known as Cardinal's College — an 

 establishment which may be said indeed to have 

 possessed no real history, as although the build- 

 ings were nearly completed, the institution shared 

 the fate of its founder, and fell into disgrace with 

 him who had conceived the excellent project. 

 The article I now forward was taken from the 

 Chapter House Papers ; but the particular refer- 

 ence, so that the document might be consulted by 

 •others, I have at presen^mislaid. Manning suc- 

 ceeded Augustine Rivers as Prior of Butley, who 

 died Sept. 24, 1528, and was buried in St. 

 Anne's chapel in the church of the monastery. 

 Manning also became the last Warden of the Col- 

 lege of Metyngham.

Translations mentioned Br Moore (2 nd S. 

 ix. 12.) — In reply to the inquiry of Senex, I 

 beg to say that I am the " Mr. Smith " who sent the 

 Greek music and Greek translations to Thomas 

 Moore in 1826. 



The English title of the work in question is 

 Specimens of Romaic Lyric Poetry with a Trans- 

 lation into English : to which is prefixed a concise 

 Treatise on Music, by Paul Maria Leopold Joss. 

 Printed for Richard Glynn, 36. P;dl Mall, 1826. 



Mr. Joss was a distinguished German gentle- 

 man, jurist, and scholar, with whom I was ac- 

 quainted in Cephalonia, where he held a civil 

 office under our government. Afterwards he be- 

 came a professor in the Ionian University, and a 

 practitioner at the bar in Corfu. He was there 

 when I last heard of him, and there I hope he 

 still lives and thrives. If Senex have any diffi- 

 culty in procuring a copy of the work mine is at 

 his service. Henry P. Smith.

Claudius Gilbert (2 nd S. iv. 128.) — He en- 

 tered Trin. Coll. Dublin, 23d March, 1685, aged 

 sixteen ; was son of Claudius Gilbert, " Theo- 

 logii," and was born and educated at Belfast.
