Fol. 3 r°-18 v° : The translation of the Celestial Hierarchy of the Pseudo- 

 Dionysius by Joannes Scottus, edited by Floss (loc. cit., cols. 1029-1070).

 contains the first set of dedicatory verses. The following is a collation 

 with the edition of Floss (cols. 1029-1030) : 1. 2 spondo MS. uttevSw Floss ; 

 1. 3 stemata ms., stemmata Floss; 1. 5 tempnere ms., temnere Floss; 

 1.6 ginnasia MS., gymnasia Floss; 1. 16 leronimo MS., Hieronymo Floss;

 libro sancti Dionisii Ariopagitae continentur libri iiiior quos Johannes 

 Eriugeua transtulit de Graeco in Latinum, iubente ac postulante domino 

 gloriosissimo rege Karolo, Ludowiei imperatoris filio. Then follow on 

 fol. 5 r" another set of verses and an index to the fifteen chapters of 

 the work. I give here a collation of these verses with the edition of
