Lawlok — The Cathach of St. Cdlumha. 3^1 



ether living scholar could have written, on the Script of the Cathach, and on 

 the Colophon of the Book of Durrow ; and Appendix IV is practically the 

 work of Professor H. J. White, d.d., who was so good as to copy for me the 

 rubrics of the Psalms in no less than nine manuscripts in the British Museum 

 and the Library of Lambeth Palace, some of them difficult to read. The 

 subject of psalm-headings, so important for my purpose, was indeed to me a 

 terra incognita when I began my work, and I have to thank Mr. J. P. Gilson, 

 Keeper of Manuscripts in the British Museum, Canon Brightman, the Eev. 

 H. A. Wilson, Dr. H. M. Bannister, and Mr. K. Sisam of Merton College, 

 Oxford, for much help in finding my way through it. I need not add that if 

 I have sometimes wandered from the path they cannot be held responsible 

 for my mistakes. Mr. Alfred Eogers, of the University Library, Cambridge, 

 kindly made extracts for me from the Southampton Psalter, and Miss E. G. 

 Parker helped me by doing similar work in the Bodleian Library. But it is 

 not possible to mention here all who have assisted me by criticism and 

 suggestion, and in other ways. Let me assure those who are not named that 

 I am not forgetful of their kindness.
