copy of the writings of this Father. The initial letter is 

 ornamented with a portrait, said to be that of St. Malachy, and 

 of which the following is difac simile. 



This little portrait is of interest, representing, as is sup- 

 posed, the features of St. Malachy, and at all events exhibiting 

 the episcopal costume of the times ; with this view I thought 

 it worthy of being presented to the reader, and, consequently, 

 made an accurate copy. 



Vol. XXIX. containing Nos. 11976-11980, which are, 

 in the first place, " Memorabilis promotio Dni Joannis Scoti 

 Canonici Dni Augustini prioris ecclesise de Busco dni Isaac in 

 cancellarium ordinis aurei velleris pr. fr. Hubertum Scotum." 

 No. 11979 is " Oratio habita in Capitulo gen. Ord. Velleris 

 Aur.," and bears date the 5th of the Kalends of Ap. 1532. 

 They are both written upon paper of small quarto size ; and 

 at the end of the last piece (No. 11980) is the following 

 epitaph : 



" Epitaphium Dni Johannis Scoti 

 Prioris Ecclesise de Bosco Dmni Isaac" 



" Quae cameratus in hanc protexit lucem Joannis 

 Scoti sub saxo hoc ossa sepulta jacent 

 Si quis erat procerum clarorum insignia doctus 

 Artifices inter gloria prima fuit 

 Ordinis enituit proin Cancellarius Aurei
