A Bible, from Norwich Cathedral Priory, the Books in the usual order of thirteenth-century Bibles (see N. R. Ker and A. J. Piper, Medieval manuscripts in British libraries (Oxford, 1969- ), I, 96-7) except that it lacks the Prayer of Manasses and includes the Prayer of Solomon after Ecclesiasticus. The prologues are the standard set with some omissions and divergencies. Written in Italy by one scribe. The running-titles and chapter numbers in alternate red and blue and the small chapter initials in red and blue were executed in Italy; the large initials in divided red and blue at the beginning of the General Prologue and each Book are the work of an English illuminator. On f. 344 verso there is a list of the names of ten magistri, six of whom are known to have been in Oxford at the beginning of the fourteenth century. Substantial glossing by English hands of the thirteenth-fifteenth centuries.

A bifolium containing the text of Livy, Book XXX, xiii.1 to xv.12 and xxviii.1 to xxx.10. Written by a scribe apparently active in Florence c. 1460-1470 who also wrote MSS Genoa, Bibl. Durazzo B.III.18, Vatican Urb. Lat. 51 and Oxford, Lincoln College Lat. 59, given to the College by Robert Flemmyng.

Jerome's De viris illustribus in the semi-humanistic hand of Milo de Carraria, who was active as a scribe in Italy, Cologne, Bruges and London from 1437 to 1447 (see Duke Humfrey and English humanism in the Fifteenth century: Catalogue of an Exhibition held in the Bodleian Library Oxford (Oxford, 1970), p. 13).

Specimens of initial capital letters taken from illuminated manuscripts and copies of initials and decoration from illuminated manuscripts in the British Museum and in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Among the originals are a leaf from a Graduale, containing a portion of the Mass for the Nativity of St John Baptist (German, XV cent.); a leaf from the Decretum of Gratian (Low Counties, late XII cent.); one leaf and twenty-six initials from a manuscript of the Enarrationes in Psalmos of St Augustine (probably Bohemian, under strong Italian influence, late XIV cent.); a leaf from a Book of Hours (Italian, late XV cent.); and fragments from a choir-book, in Latin, with music (Italian, late XV cent.).

Three works by Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375), viz. (a) L'Amorosa Fiammetta (imperfect, wanting one leaf at the beginning), (b) Corbaccio, and (c) Ameto. They are written on paper, in double columns, in the hand of Ambrugio Speççaferro and were completed, according to colophons, on 6 September, 15 September and 17 October 1457 respectively. There are pen-work initials in red and blue; some initials, perhaps illuminated, have been removed.
