l^'.sposiTO — niberno-Latin MSS. in the Libraries of SwitzerlawL 8.') 



This MS. gains aclclitional interest from the fact that it contains an Old- 

 Irish gloss, tlie word mollis being glossed as slemon or sclemon. The same 

 gloss is found in another MS. of Adannimrs tract, Parisinus 1.S048, also of the 

 ninth century (cf. Geyer, Itinera Hierosolyniitana, 1898, pp. xxxiiii and 

 225n.). I mention this here as neither of these MSS. is referred to in tlie work 

 of Stokes and Strachan (Thesaurus Palaeohibernicus, 2 vols., 1901-1903). 



In the second part of this paper I propose to deal with the MSS. in the 

 Town Libraries at Zurich and Bern. The Bern .aess. are especially interesting. 

 From one of them, now unfortunately mutilated, I hope to publisli for the 

 first time a large portion of the grammatical work of an Irishman, named 

 Clemens Scottus, who filled a prominent post at the Court-School under 

 Charlemagne's successor, Louis the Pious. 



In conclusion, it only remains for me to record my thanks to those from 

 whom I have received assistance in the course of the above work. In the 

 first place, to Professor Kuno Meyer and Mr. E. I. Best, who have given me 

 constant encouragement and sympathy, and secondly, to Professors Schneider 

 of Basel, and Werner of Zurich, to Pk'e Gabriel Meier of Einsiedeln, and to 

 the Librarians of the Town Library at Schaffhausen, of the Monastic Library 

 at St. Gallen, and of the Cantonal Library at Aarau, for the kindness with 

 which they did everything to facilitate my researches among the Jrss. under 

 their care.
