Esposito — On the so-called Psalter of St. Caimin. 83 



Psalter 1 (Palatums lat. 65), etc., all of which date from this period. On the 

 other hand, we find none of the distinctive characteristics of the Irish mss. of 

 the seventh, eighth, and ninth centuries. 



f. la : 35 cms. x 25 ; Beati — iustitiae tu§ (Ps. cxviii, 1-7) ; 118, 7 dedici for 

 didici ; has suffered much from damp, the marginal notes being partly 

 illegible. 



f. lb : Iustiftcationes — tuos (8-16) ; 11 abscondidi for abscondi, 16 m tuis 

 iustificationibus for in iustificationibus tuis; between ff. lb and 2a a leaf is 

 missing.

 for iucunda, 40 et in for in.

 omitted ; Domini for Domine. 



f. 4a : 30 x 26 ; Bonitatem — argenti (66-72) ; 67 ego custodiui for custodiui, 

 72 milia for millia ; the lower margins of this folio have been somewhat cut 

 away, but the writing has been spared. 



f. 4b : Manus — confundar (73-80) ; 73 ut discam for et discam, 74 uerbo 

 tuo for uerba tua, 80 inmaculatum for immacidatum. 



f. 5a : 31 x 25 5 ; Defecit — tui (81-88) ; 81 in uerbum for et in uerbum, 82

 suffered much from damp. 



1 The similarity to this lis. is very close ; cf. Bannister (Pagiiie Scelte di Due Codici, 

 Tav. i-iv, ap. Codices e Vaticanis Selecti, Series Minor, ii, 1910) ; Ehrle et Liebaert 

 (Specimiiia Codicum Latinorum Vaticanorurn, 1912, Tab. 24, and p. sxi). Cf. also 

 W. Stokes (Academy, xxxv, 1889, p. 26) ; Bannister (Journal of Theological Studies, xii, 

 1911, pp. 280-284 ; Zeitschrift : fur Celtische Philologie, viii, 1911, pp. 246-259); Lindsay 

 (Zeatralblatt fur Bibliothekswesen. xxix, 1912, p. 62). 



2 Whitley Stokes, Warren, and others have tabulated lists of mis-spellings found in 

 Irish irss., -which they regarded as characteristic Irish Latinisms. It is well, however, 

 to remember that many of these forms occur in mss. of undoubted Anglo-Saxon and even 

 Continental origin ; cf. Hessels (Academy, 1895, xlviii, p. 12).
