It may be said to represent the Roman-Anglian order, as opposed to the Roman-Saxon of the South of England, which is called the use of Sarum. The rarity of York books is to be explained by the double hostility with which they were regarded, from the jealousy of the Southern Church, and the anti-Roman zeal of the Reformers. 155 SARUM MISSAL.

On July 7 is added a note of the death of John de Columbers; on Sept. 18, that of Hegeline de Columbers; on the 19 October, John le Columber Miles. These are all 14th Century additions. The Calendar has directions in French at the bottom of each page. The first is "Gardez la primere p'me apres la typhaine e de iloec cuntez v iors z le primer dimenge apres auerez septuagesme. pur elore Alleluia." Between the Calendar and the first page of Psalms, 16 leaves are inserted in a hand of about 1380; which gives the Office of the Virgin. On the reverse of the sixteenth of these leaves is written "Iste dominus Ethelredus rex fundatores. Et Alfritha regina fundatrices hujus monesteri e Wheruelle." In Henry VIII's time the book belonged to Simon Chopper. |
