"Expositio sequentiarum etHymnorum totiusAnniSee.Us. Sar." 



Printed by "Wynken, or Wynandus de "Worde, a.d. 1515. 

 Original stamped binding. The Colophon, ■which calls it 

 " Prosarum," tells us that "Wynken de Worde was then living 

 in the parish of St. Erigid, Fleet-street. The "Expositio" 

 is bound up with some works of St. Chrysostom on the 

 monastic life, addressed to his friend Stagirus ; his Sermon 

 on the Dignity of the human Origin and the prophecies of 

 Julianus of Toledo. Some of these were translated by an 

 Abbot Ambrose, dedicated to the Emperor Sigismund, and 

 printed in the town of Alost, in Flanders, by Theodore 

 Martin, who introduced printing into Belgium in 1473 : 

 of. Mattaire, Annul, i. 106. 



Iterum : Lond. 1515, Wynde de "Worde. In the Colophon it is 

 called Prosarum Sec. TJs. Sar. 



IX. Primer according to Sarura use. 



Upon the title-page occurs the following : — " This Prymer 

 of Salysbery use is set out a long M-out ony serchyng, with 

 many prayers and goodly pyctures in te kalender in the 

 matyns of our lady in the houres of the crosse, in the vii 

 psalmes and in the dyryge. And be newly enprynted at 

 Rowen 1538." 



Printed by N. Le Kour. 



Published by F. Eegnault, Paris. 

 Original binding and many pictures. The spelling is curious. 



P.S. — No. IV., as above, is a Processional which seems to me on 

 further investigation to belong to York, not to Sarum. In the front 

 of this book is a short MS. Service with brief rubrics beginning : — 



Sacerdos dicat hunc versum sequentem " En rex venit 

 mansuetus tibi Syon ; filia mystica humilis, sedens super 

 animalia, quem venturum jam predixi lectio prophetica." 



In another book there occur the following notes, showing that the 

 worthy owner at times used his book for secular purposes : — 



" Item I shoulde (sold) a black Hoggehrele for is. 3d." 

 " Item I shoulde thre shepe (sheep) for 15*. 4^."
