TIIL* DIIUXTION UF TIli: MASTKK OK TUK ROLLS,

On thc 26th of January 1857, the Master of the BolU
suhmitted to the Trcasury a proposal for the puhlication
of matcrials for the Uistory of this Ck)untry from the
Invasion of thc Bomans to the reign of Henry yill.

The Mastcr of thc llolls suggested that these materials
should hc sclcctcd for puhlication under competent
cditors without rcfcrence to pcriodical or chronological
arrangemcnty without mutilation or ahridgment, prefer-
cncc heing givcn, in the first instance, to such matcrials
as wcre most scarcc and valuahlc.

IIc proposcd that cach chroniclc or historical doeu*
mcnt to hc cditcd should hc trcated in the same way as
if thc cditor wcrc cngagcd on an Editio Princcps ; and
for this piirposo thc most eorrcct tcxt should 1)e formed
from an accuratc collation of thc hcst MSS.

To rcndcr the work morc gencrally uscfuly the Master

of thc Bolls suggcstcd that thc editor should give an

account of the MSS. employed hy liim, of their age and

thcir pcculiaritics ; that he should add to the work a

bricf account of the life and times of the author, and

any remarks neccssary to explain the ehronology ; but

no othcr note or comment was to be allowod, ezeept

what might ho neccssary to establish the eorreetness of

tho tcxt.

The works to be publishcd in octavo, scparatelyy as
they werc finislicd ; thc wholc responsibility of the task
resting upon thc cditors, who were to be chosen by the
Master of the Rolls with the sanction of the Treasury.

Tho Lords of ller Majcsty^s Trcasury, after a careful
ronsideratiou of thc subjccty cxprcsscd thcir opinion in a
Treasury Minute, datcd Fcbruary 0, 1867» that the plan
recommendcd by thc Master of the Bolls ''was well
calculated for thc accomplishmcnt of this important
national objccti in an cfTcctual and satisfactory manner,
within a reasonablc t imCy and providcd proper atten tion be
paid to cconomyy in making the dctailcd aiTangemcnts,
without unncccssary expcnse," ;:

Thcy expressed thcir approbation of thc proposal that [}

each Chroniclc and historical documcut should bo cdited
in such a manncr as to rcprcscnt with all possible corrcct- tl

ncss the text of each writery derived from a collation of
thc best MSS., and that no notes should be added| cxcept
Buch as were illustrativc of thc various readings. They
BUggested» however, that ihc profaco to cach work should
TOntain, in addition to the particulars proposed by the
Master of the RoUs, a biographical account of the author,
80 far as authentic nmterials cxistcd for that purposCi
and an estimate of his historical credibility and value.

PREFACE.

The prcacni volume conUins iho " Historia NoTonim

vemationc Ansclmi Areliicpiaoopi Caniuariensis,'* and
a fihori iraci dcncribcfl by iU auihor as " Qu»dam
Parva DcMcripiio Miraculorum glorioni Pairis Antelmi
Caniuaricnsifl." Tho sccond and ihird are noi jo much
iwo works as onc, to which Eadmer himeelf •eeme io
have given ihe gcncral iiile of " ViU SancU Anselmi ei
quicdam Miracula cjus."

I. The " HisTORiA NovonUM 1« AKauA."

For ihe " Historia Novorum ** I have worked on iwo QjQjn^
copies. One of ilicm forms pari of Archbishop Parker^s ^JJJJg»
magnificeni paUDOgraphical gift io hit coUege ai Cam-
bridge, and i% numbcrcd 452 in Naiimiih*s Caialogue of ihe
C.C.C. manuKripta ; ilie oiher is in the Coiionian colleo-

was uscd by ^- 'Iro for ihe ediiion of ihe ** Hisioria
Novorum ** wliicli lio gave to ihe worM in 16S3 ; ihe
fonner has supplied the iexi contained in ihe pwseni
volume.

MS. C.C.C. 452 is a vellum f|uario of iweniy-one gaiber^ ^ 'B t ' ^

X PREFACe.

incipit io ihc fifth book, which is in bluc, is rubricatcd
in thc samc colour. Thc " Uistoria Novorum " bcgins
on thc first and cnds on thc last, or tliixsc hundrcd and
fifty-cighth pagc^ Inscrtcd bcforc thc first lcaf is an
clcvcnth ccntury colourcd drawing of thc " Noli mc
tangcrc" bcautiful in it» lincs, and on a background of
bumishcd gold ; but somcwhat smallcr than thc lcavca
of thc book now aro, and vcry much smallcr than thcy
onco wcre. It may possibly havo scrvcd in thc first
instancc to ailom a volumc of St. Ansc]m's *' Orationcs
flivc Hcditationcs,** onc of which was cntitlcd " Ad Sanc-
tam Mnriam Hagdalcnam."

Thc prcscnt sizc of thc lcavcs, scvcn inchcs by four
and a lialf, givcs but a faint idca of thc pristino bcauty
of thc volumc, for thc bindcr's plough has playcd sad
havoc with thcir up|>cr mnrgins, somctimcs grazing tho
vcry tcxt, whilst in thc lowcr margins it has cut away
scvcral of tlic rcgistcrs.

Thc pagcs of tho first quire coutain twcnty-four lincs
each, and havc an indcntcd lincation enclosing a spaco
of fivc inches and fivc-cighths by three and five-eighths,
but thc ncxt scvcntccn gathcrings (pp. 17-304)' havo on
cach pagc twcnty-scvcn indcnted lines of three inchcs
and seven-eighihs.

Until the middlo of the thrcc hundrcd and first |iage
(Parkcr*s 207) tho i)cnmaaship is clcar, bold, uniform,
and in thc bosi Christ Churdi stylc ; but it changcs at
ihat point, and on ihe following pagc anothcr liand takes
up iho pcn and kccps posscssion of ii io the end of iho

PREFACE.

whiki tiie oopyista were ai work on it, we nuiy aafely
infer that, traiiBcribed at Cunbridge in the samuH^r of
15e7, the pment US. C.C.C. 452 is not the eopy of
Eadmer, which is known to hftve bcen Ijing at fiangor
as Ute 9A the October of tliat year.

The volume contiiins a hundrc«l and twcnty-ci«:ht leave«,
all of which, with the cxccption of a poriion of the

in their prcscnt «tate mcasurc cight inchcs and a c|uarier
by five and sevcn-cighihji, and are rulcd in single
column, the spaee cnclosed by the outer indcntations
nKsasuring siz inches and a quarier by about four and a
half. The pagcs ^-ary in lineal conient, some having
as fcw as thiriy lincs, but thc majoriiy thirt3'-two or
thirty-three. The pcnmanship, which bctrays sevcral
hands, is indificrcnily good, sparing of coniraciions and
far from uniform ; whilsi ihc characier, wiih ihc cxcep-
iion of the Prefacc, which has iraits ihai recal thc latier
part of thc iwclf th ccniury, is ihat propcr to ihc siie-

begao io put into execution the design which he had
formed of committing to parchment those reminiscences
of hiK illustrioufl master which constitute the most valu-
able |K>rtion of thc " Historia Novonim " known to us,
and would seem to have constitutcd almost the whole
of the " Historia Novorum " of the first issue.^ Of that
first issue no copy is known to be extant ; but if we
liewail the misfortune of not being able to trace tbe
numerouB and important verbol alterations which there
can be noquestion that Eadmer made in his work during
the courso of some thirty years from the completion
of the first book/ it is some slight palliation of our loss
to find that whcn we question the dumb lcaves they do
not abeolutely refuse to answer us.

The answer they give Is that Eadmer from time to
time amplified his work by incorporating into it numcrous
passages of various but not inconsidcrable lehgth.

The first of these incorporatcd passages is, perhaps, the
«rMmi w«t >uemoir of Archbishop Jjanfranc, which begins on page
12 and ends on |>agc 28. Thc paragraph which im-
mediately preccdes it is devoted to an account of the
innovations introduced by the Conqueror in the ccde*
Hiastical order, and ends with thcse words, " Ut itaque
ctcptum peragamus iter,' de his saiis dictum;" that
which immcdiately follows is ihe real commenccment
of the " Historia ;'* and towards thc end of the memoir
Eadmer tells us that he is now going to begin the narra-
tive which he had been on the point of beginning fifteen

it is a digresBion, as I hope to prove in the sequel, in-

On pago 43 Eadmcr tclls us tlutt af ter St Ansehn*s (i|Aii
clection to ihe primacy, William Rufus sent messengers grmiMrt
into Normandy with lctters to Duke Roberi, to the f ii iiM^M^a

givcs no hint of any lcttcrs from Ansclm himself or his

vicw of ihc King and Ansclm ai Rochesier he makcs
Ansclm prcscrve an absoluie silence on the three pariies
in Normandy whose combincd eonseni to the eleciion
was a conditio $ine ^c non to his aooepUnoe of ihe
ofTcred dignity. We may be sure ihai Anselm would
not cven have suggvsied ihe bare possibili^ of his ever
acccpiing ihc primacy uniil he knew ihai his firiends* in
Normandy had conjienicd to forego him ; and yei Ead-
mcr rcprescnts hini as spcaking to the King as though
his final acquicHCcncc dcpcnded on himself and oo him*
self alonc. Now, he eiihcr apprised the King of ihe

very strong prudcntial rcasons for such reiioenee with

sirong prudential reasons why Eadmers informaniy
whcther Amtclm himself, Bishop Oundulf, or Dom Bald*

siioice in thai repori of the interview upon which
Eadnicr's aocouni was based. My own suspidon is

on ibe basis of tho informAtioii aocorded to him soon
after the evcnt; and that he made his acquaintance
with the lettcr scnt to Anschn by tbe Archbisbop of
Rouen at a date poetcrior to thc complction of his first
book. In which casc his account ran in the iirst in-
fitancc as follows: — ^"Interca missi sunt a rege nuncii
" in Normanniam ad comitcm, ad ponlificem Rotoma*
" gensem, ad monachos Beccenscs, quatinus iis quie in
" Anglia de abbate Bccocnsi gesta fucrant singuli,

Flandrie Rovecestram, ubi tunc ipse Anselmus crat,
venisset^ in secretum locum Anselmus regem tulit,
^ cumque talitcr allocutus cst/' &c. ; and all the intcr*
vening tcxt of our extant copics is a subscquent inser«
iion. That text eontains the noteworthy phrase " huic
" opusculo inserere/*^ and the noteworthy sentence,
" Hiec de rege ad pnescns succincte mcmoraese suffi«
" ciat, jamque ad dcstinatum narrandi ordinem sermo
" recurrat."*

It may be well to note that the Red King^s famous
spcech to Gundulf is recorded in this passagc.

It is more than probablc that thc c ';her of thc two
^Mii ^^^^*^ ^^ Ansclm which Eadmer has introduccd into the
first book is with its context a subsequcnt auginentation.

original work.

Passing on to thc second book we find nothing in it
^■■^• i i fc» that aeeniB to claim notice in the prcsent conncxion
•riMkU. Qiitil we reach page 85 and the pasnage " Eo tempore
.Vj '"*■'* *• Robertns comes Normannife . . . fratri 8uo . . .
*• Normanniam in dominium tradidit" Thc iirst and
mostobvious infcrence to be drawn from this Ls, what we
know to have becn tho casc, that William Rufus was ii>
Normandy when the transaction was consummatcd, and
the duchy handed over to him ; and yet, near the foot
of page 86 we find ourselvcs back in England, when the
the King embarks, and, landing in Normandy, has the
duchy handed over to him and makcs himself mastcr of
it. Then come two irrelcvant pagcs bcforc the nami-
tive of Aniielm'8 troubles is resumed ; but it is not
resumed without a frcsh assurancc that the Rcd King
had made himself master of the duchy. Thcse facts in-
▼ite us to examine the whole of the passage from " Qun3
" pecunia per Angliam ( page 85 ) . . . to " Gundulfo
" Rofensi " (page 88). In the formcr part of it we find
(1) allusions to those who " usque hodic " maligned thc
memory of Anselm, a phrase scarccly appropriatc if
written within a year of his death ; and (2) an account
of Ansehn's vitmm vadium of Peckham and his aixhi-
tectural work at Cantcrbury such as could scarccly have
been made at the time of the composition of the pristine
text ; (3) we note the remarkable words, " His brevi per
" exoessum ^ . . . dictis, ad qnod coepirous rcvcrtamur,"
and (4) we peroeive that Eadmer curtails his transcript
of the Irish letter, a circumstancc the valuo of which will
ap|iear in the sequeL If then this bc, as I have no doubt
ii is, another inatance of subeequent insertion, the text
may in the first instance have been, "Eo tempore

with the wordfl, *• Erat pnotcrca illis diebus,** and en*U
with •• nulla poMC ratione ampliun concordare ** on pago
116. The paragraph which precedes it is to thiii circct.
It wan An0elm'fi great dcfiire to say good bye for ever to
England and the primacy, a dcsire intensified by the
fact that hc naw it to bo utterly impoMiblo that he and
thc King should cver again agree. To say nothing of
what we know of him when in England, certain tiding»
were day by day brought to us (the Archbishop and his
party wero thcn at Capus), which madc it clcar that
William's hcart wan hardened against thts Divine justice.
I may as well bricfly and summarily say at once what
thoAC tidings were !est I be thought to aver more than
I mcan ; and I will do so with perfect frankness, and
without adding any opinion of my own as to whether
they were true or othcrwise. The fact is that those who
caine to us ssid that about that time, and when the King
was ntaying at Roucn, the Jows of that city came to him •
complaining that some of their numbcr had rccently
rejfcted judaism and become Christian.and bcgging that
for a pecuniary com|iensation he would oompel them to
throw Aside their Christian profession and retum to
judai»m. He agrecd, took the wages of apoetacy, and
ordered the said Jews to be brought into his presence.
In a word, by threaiii and terrors ho broke some of them
into denying Christ and^mbracing their old error.

Now this statement amply redeems Eadmer^s pledge

believe to bo an intcrpolation opcns with the word | j

" pneterea " and must therefore have bccn intendcd as

something distinct f rom the brief and summary Rtatement

which it foliows ; it endn " Ha?c . . . magno, ut dixi-

mus, Anselmum acccndcbant ix)ntificatui Angliao ab«

which bears an awkwani rcscmblanco to the "Huic

and reminds us of thc ropctitions of phrasc which mark
the digrossion on pp. 85-88 ; whilst its " ut diximus " ^
18 a term which Eadmer not unfrequcntly uscs in con-
nexion with inserted amplifications of his text.

The truth is that whcn the " Historia Novorum " had
been for aome time bcforo the world, William of Malmes-
bury put forth a rcceasion of his " Oesta Rcgum " ' in
which he not only gave an entircly new compiexion to
ihe story he had in the first instancc told of the discussion
towhich the London Jews once challcnged thc Christian
theologians of England, but took care to say, and to say
without any mention of William Rufus, that once upon
a time the Rouen Jcws had endeavourcd to regain by
bribery some of their numbcr who had embraced Chris-
iianity. Now, whatover Eadmer may have thought of
William of Malmesbury^s wholcsale castigation of the
fourth book of the " Oesta Rcgum/' he can scaroely have
regarded with complaccncy tho protension of the Wilt-
■hiie monk to reviso the " Historia Novorum." Eadmer K^t

had said in his first issuo that when the King was at
Rouen in the winter of 1097-08 tho Jows gave and the
King accepted at disgracof ul a bribe as had ever soilodr
or eould ever soil, the handa of a Christian King ; and

by William of Malmc»bury'8 supprosBion of it in his later
editions of the " Ocsta Pontificum.'* *

Scarccly on pago 122 has Eadmer finished hiii aocount g-^^^ l^ ^

aboQt a transaction in which eacb of those great penon-
ages pUyed a prominent imd charmcteristic part^ and the
mibject of which was the arm not of a doctor of the
diurch but of an apostle. It is qnite conceivable that
the satisfiiction of having a atory to tell of which William
of IJalmesbttry had not leamt the details may have had
something to do with Eadmers resolve to tell it; bat if
it had appeared in the first iasoe of the "Historia
Novomm ** William of Malmesbniy wonld scaroely have
neglected an opportonity of at least alluding to the in*
formatton conveyed by it. *

On page 138 we eome upon one of the moet interest- i 1

ing digreaaions in the work, Eadmer*8 aceount of the i ^

eonduct of St Anselm in i^*gard to the matrimonial \ i

alliance of Uenry with Edith of SooUand. " Negotinm ^

" itaque .... quam fedt** It is apolog tic of
fUJto ^ Anselm, and every other such apologetic digression is,
I think, a later insertion ; it has the characteristics
proper to an aeeount written manyyears after theevent;
and the phrases, " lieet propositi operis intentionem
" haodquaquam respiciat " and ** hoc nobis in volunta-
" tem ceddity'' ' concur to raise the contention that it
had no place in the first issuc from probability to moral
oertainty.

In thi» digression, as in others, Eladmer makes no
mention of William of Mahnesbury ; nor is it a neces-
aary inferenee that it was written in reply to him. But
aince it must have served o refute the calumny on
Ansehn implied in that aeeount of which the Wiltshire

author in as8uming ihat if Eadmer did not wriie the

reply to William he might well have done ao.

William of Malme<ibur}'*8 account, then, is that Edith wniiMarf
in order the nioro effcctually to reject the suitors oflTered wy^» »» ^

her by her faiher had drcsse<l like a nun ; that when f^^^i^
Henry wished to msrry hcr St. Anselm forbad the union

" corum ;*' and that " therefore " after she had bome the i

King two childrcn she refused to bear him any more. |

Whcther or not she had come to an understanding with {

Hcnr}' beforc rcsolving to reject the suitors oflTered her
by hcr fathcr, Williaro does not say, but he not impro-
liably wi8hes it to 1« inferred tliat she had. Be that as
it may, Edith had, in ordcr to ihwart her father*s wishes,
inailc firMt one aspirant to her hand and then another
liclievc that that hand was not to be won without saeri-
legc, and in so doing hnd profaned the habit of religion.
Surely this wa» bad cnough, but it was not bad eoougli
for William of Malmesbur}% who, writing to please a
basebom son of Hcnry'sp took care to sdd that Hcnry's
lawful progeny would have been more numerous than it
wan but for the falsc conscience of Matilda, who, having
Itegun life as an unfilial child, chose to end it as an
unwifely woman. The l»est refutation which Eadmer
could give to all this was a simple statement of facts of
which he had himself been pcrsonally eognisant^ and his
niotive and his «xcusa for publishing such refutation in
ihe iMiges of the " Historia Novorum " were that William
of Malmesbury ha^l, by suggestive hint, at least, aoeused
AnseUn of giving ex poti fado his approval to a pro-

leticr " LibcntisAime, si possero, tccum loquercr"
(Ep. Ui. 157).»

On page 162 Eaclmer tells us that in 1102 a council
was held, that it was held in the church of St. Petcr on
the westside of London,* and that Archbi.shop Anselm
presided. Almost immcdiatcly afler this thc work, as
we now know it, prcscnts ns with a documcnt drawn up
by St Ansclm himself in which all thcsc dctails are
iold ovcr again. Nor is this all. Eadmer's account is
foUowed by the remark that many things wcre done in
the council which the Holy Sce subscqucntly confirmcd,
and Anselm's teoctus is followed by tho rcmark that one
of its enactmcntii was allowed to fall into dcsuetude ;
remarks which, if thcy do not contradict cach othcr, can
scarcely have becn mado at the same tirac, but which,
had they been made at the same timcwould surely have
been made with some sort of attempt at harmony and
homogencou9nc8s. And furthcr the tcxiua of thc conncil

And now I must note a vcry intcrcsting charactcristic
of the eight passages to which I have drawn attention.

XXVlti PRKFACE.

fitrcss of woaiher in thc spring of 1094, have been
ineonfiistent cnough to say that wind and sea had
already leamt to obey him.

The third book eontaias eight lettcrs by Pope Pas*
ehal II.; (i.) the " Lcgationls tuoe " (page 146), (ii.) the
••Regi regum" (pagc 152), (iii.) thc "Non ignoras" v ,m

(page 154). (iv.) the " Et patrum "^ (page 155), (v.) the ^

"Adversus illam" (pagc 159), (vi.) the *' Suavissimas
" dHcctionis ture" (pagc 172), (vii.) the " Fratemitatis
** tufe " (page 179), and (viii.) the •' In Jittcris " (p. 180) ;
to which may bc addcd a ninth, *' Quamvis pcr Willel- | i

mum " (page 183), from St Anselm to the King.

Eadmer introduccs thc (ifth of thesc documcnts to the
notice of his rcadcrs with a blimder which would have
been impossible if the sccond and third had alrcady
constitute*! a portion of his tcxt.

No one can, I think, have rcad our historian's account
of the strange sccne cnacted at Westminster in tho
August of 1102 without bcing puzzlcd to know what
lcttcr of the Popc s to Ansclm it was which was rcad on
that occasion. Immediaiely after his account of the
failure of the joint embassy to tum the Popo from his
resolution he givcs us the purport of the two lctiers
which Paschal chargcd the cnvoys to dclivcr on their
retum to England, one for thc King and thc other for the
Primate ; then comcs the text of those document« ; and
then Paschal'8 leticr io the bishop and canons of Exeier,
an.irrelevant digression introduced wiih a *' huic opusculo
indere." At the condusion of ihe Exeter leiier, however
(page 156), he resumes the narraiive which had been
dropped on page 152, and soon brings us into the ihick
of ttie famous dispuie at Westminsier and the quarrel
about the Pope*s leticr to ihe Pi-imate. That leiter we
naturally believe to be the " Non ignoras " we had read
on pago 154, until to our amasement he concludes on
page 159 with " Textns aut«m litterarum hic est " and
ihe " AdTertut iUam."

mn thnB, — " Quem venientem illo Willelmus quem

have to thank a blundering scribc for thc text we now

Williani of Malmesbury in the " Gesta Rcgum " gi ves us
the text of the " Suavissimas dilectionis tuie/' and the
" In litteris," the sixth and cighth of our present group ;
SSSm. buthbrecord b marked by two noteworthy peculiari-
ties. First, he introduces tho two lettcrs, and with
ihem another, the " Quod Anglici rcgis," with a rcmark
which would seem to imply that they werc not in his
oopy of the " Historia Novonim/' not, that is to say, in
the oopy which lay bcforc him &s ho wrotc thc carlier
of his two grcat works, " Harum causarum tcnorcm
" multo verborum circuitu cgit domnus Edmcrus ; nos
pro pleniot^e notitia Paschalis ssepe dicti apostolici
scripta ad hanc rem pertincntia subnectcmus."
And, sccondly, he inverts the order of the " Suaviasi-
mas " and the " In litteris/' making thc lattcr, which
wa«« writtcn in tho winter of 1 103, take precedcnce of
the former which had bcen writtcn twelvc months
before. Surely the two Ictters must have been wanting
in his copy of Eadmcr.
giMagf^ Omttting the scvcnth I pass on to thc " In litteris "
io which I have just refelTcd as probably having had no
co.r^ plaoe in ihat copy of thc " Historia Novorum " which
lay before William of Malmcsbury as he wrote the
** Oesia RegtinL'* On ihe other hand ihero can bc as
liiile doubt that it formed part of the copy which he
uaed (ot ihe " Oesia Pontificum " ; since, writing in this
lailer of ihe message which the royal envoy delivered
to ihe Primaie on the road from Mont Cenis to Lyons,
he says, — " Anselra wrote on the subject to the King.

William of Mahnesbury had read in his later copy of

imincdiately before it a very curious paasage which can
scarcely have figurcd in the original work. The V^^^f^m^

fourth book. It is scarcely in keepiog with what had

the uninisiakeable woitk, "Ego ducenie Deo ccepto

" narrandi calle progrediar.*'
nantt^ Herc, then, we have the plaoe of the missing letter of
ivtiv. the King to AnBclni. That lctter, which can scarcely

have becn to the King's greatcr credit with the reader,

has disappeared, making way for a picce of transparent
(14.) TiM fiattery. It and the "Quamvis per Willelmum " had
pcrViiM- becn introduced into the work at the same time with

the "In littcris/' and had with their context filled a

Jeaf of augmcntary text

On thc whole then thcre can, I think, bc little ques-

tion that of the nine lcttcrs which now enrich the third

mtlh$

(iM book, Eadmers original tcxt contained only one, the

anaehronous " Adversus illam."

That part of thc fourth book which begins with
"Cum igitur" on pago 189, and cnds with "populo
"tcme" on pagc 192, bctrays a ccrtain inconsistency
suflicicnt to suggcst a doubt whcthcr much of it mny
not have bccn inscrtcd into thc work subscqucntly to
the first issuc. It consists of four portions. Thc first of
them is to thc cfTcct that Hcnry, partly out of rc?<pcct
for thc Primatc, partly out of dismay at thc cvils which \

had come to light in conscqucncc of the Primate s cxilc,
dcelarcd himsclf more than willing to havc him back
again, providcd only he would let him enjoy thc dis-
putcd conmdudines ; and that he therefore scnt cnvoys
to Rome with instructions to sparc no effort to induce
the Pope to bid Ansclm retum to England and yield an
unlimited obedience to the royal will. The next portion
18 irrelevant to the history, and may, like many similar
paragraphs, have been inserted to eke out an evcn num* ' 1

ber of pagee. The third is to this efiect : — In the second |

year of our exile (A.D. 1105) the Pope, who had stiffly ^ '

rejected the King'8 overtures, convened a council at the
Lateran, excommunicated the Count of Meulan, the [.

eonnfs aocomplicea, and such prelates as had receivcd
investiture from the King, and with all speed sent news

of what hc hacl done to Anselm in a lettor which we
mibjoin. Thcn followii the letier, which npon inspection
ia fotind to contain thc further information that, for a
rcitson a<wigncd, thc Pope hacl defcrred excommonicating
tho King himself.

Thc fonrth portion, howovcr, contatna the astounding
Ktaiemcnt that, thc Popcs lettcr bcing recciTcd and ^jSJ
cxamincd, Anwlm wan at laAt convinccd of the utter

lla««C

fir

uselcwmcm of wa^ting time in expcctation of help from
Romc which would nevcr come, particularly at the Pope
had thuA far refu8c<I to stir a fingcr in his behalf ; and,
mixc<l up with it tho vcry •uggestive remark, thrown in
as if by accidcnt, that Annelm had during his stay in
Lyons written thrcc lctters to the King demanding the
reAtoration of liis propcrty, but had receiTcd highly
un.satiHfactory answcrs.

Now, ihis fourth portion of the narrativc ia quitc in
harmony with the first, but cannot bo reconciled with
thc third. Curiously cnough, ioo, at iis pointof junction
with thc thinl wc find prcciscly that sort of texiual
crudity which bctrays thc manipulation of a dumiiy
scribe, — " Hanc igitur cpistolam poetquam AnselmuJi sus-
" ccpit inspcxit, iniollcxit so amplius && . • . This i

" suAccpit inspcxit" recalls the " tempus induciamm [

" Pascha ** of pagc 14^,'thc two sca voyagcs on one and \

tho same day from Dovcr to Wissant of page 172, and
the blun<lcr about tho chaplain on page 18S.

Again. The Pope*s lettor was brought to Ljrons by a
special couricr, who ha^i probably riddcn night and day
from Romo that Ansclm might be apprised in good time
of the scntence launched against the Count of Mculan
and his partisans, and of the pending excommonication
of the King. What possible motiTe conld Ana^l^ bave
had io take Eadmer inio his oonfidenee? Wat it noi

to do ? The inith U thai iwo excommuiiications had
for aome time been hanging over Henry, thc Pope a and
the Primate'8 ; but now that thc Pope*8 was for a time
withheld, the Primate'8, which was alrcady ovcrdue, must
be allowed to fall» and henoo the Primates departure.

On the whoie, then, there can bc little doubt that the
text was in the first instance much as follows : " Cum
" igitur .... patcretur. Unde nobls adhnc .
'* . . . Bubdi et oboedire. In secundo autem anno

adventus noetri Anaclmus intellexit se amplius frus-

tra Lugduni/' &c., ; and that Eadmer

tumed the "De illata tibi" to account long afler the
** Uisioria Novomm " was a publishcd work, possibly a
ihe same time with the " lU^ regum " and thc '* Non
" Ignoras." And just as those two lciters cannot have
been introduoed into thc narrative at the samc time with
ihe falaely plaoed " Adversus illamr so is it hard to
believe that, had he just transcribed the " De illata,"
Eadmercould have persuaded himsclf to say that, bccause
ihat document was what it was, therefore Anselm iefl
Lyons disappointed and reduced to dcKpair by the pas-
sivity of the Holy See.

The content of tho cngraftcd text is foriy-nine lines.

The " Historia Novorum " was a publishctl work in or
before the year 1113, but many of thc digrcssions which
characterize our two cxtant exemplars must assurcdly be
refcrrcd to a much latcr datc. Qucen Matilda died in
ibe Biay of 1118 ; Robert of Mculan posscd away a fcw
weeks latcr, and Herbcrt, bishop of Norwich, in tho t

July of 1119. In 1120 EUulmerwas brought into cloec, ! |

perhapa perilous, relation with the King on his appoint-
meni io the See of St Andrews, and when in 1121 he
reiomed to Cantcrbury it was not wiihout a conscious-

hw tinit aim had been what in his proface he declarcs
it to have bccn, and it ih satiBfactory to find that our
iruipection of the work in itfl prcmnt condition tends to
prove beyond all doiibt that in his original text he took
care not to travcl lioyond it. Hcnco his silcnce on the
protraction of Car<1inal WaltcrV vinit to England ; on
Abbot Jarenton'8 mission in the spring of 1097 ; and on
Ansclm^s furtivc and circuitous joumcy from Roroe to
LyonA through Swabia and AlHaco. Ho wos silcnt on
these and many likc subjects, bccause it would have
bccn forcign to his purposc to touch u]K)n thero.

The ** HiNtoria Novorum " in a volumo of somo teii
quires, the lcaves of which had each the textual value of
forty-nine lines and a half of the prcscnt C.C.C. copy was
a publishcd work in or about the ycar 1112. We know
on the authority of William of Malmcsbury that the
story cnded with thc dcath of St. Ansclm, and we can
scarcely be mistakcn in su8|)ccting that it said but littlo
of what had taken place bctween the end of the second
exile and that event, for Eadmer*s propcr task was donc
when he had recordcd his master^s rctum in 1106.^

So much of the lattcr portion of our prcsent copies
of the fourth book as rclatcs to St. Ansclm's trouble
with the Archbishop elcct of York was not improbably
writtcn on the recrudcscencc of thc York controversy,
with the exccption, howcver, of the concluding passage,

tho year 1102, on tho Hatno day with tho only lottor of
that PontiflTs which had a placo in tho first issuo of tho

and with tho " SuavimimaH " of latcr inscrtion ; and

England in 1103, Uking tho " Suaviasimas '* with him,
ho lcft tho " Advcrsus illam " and tho " Quanquam

Wc shall not, I think, grcatly orr if wc assign tho
completion of the finit four books in their original form
to tho ycar 1112, the a<1dition of tho rccord of Anftelm'ii
difficulty with Gcrard to tho summcr of 1110, and that
of thc "Qnanquam pravo" with its contcxt to a still
latcr date. The othcr augiiientations on which I havo
dwclt wcrc made from timo to timo down to tho vory
closc of Eadmcrs lifc ; two of tho earliest of them being
that which included the " Fratcmitatis tuie " and tho
" In littcriH " (pp. 178-182), and that which induded the
" Quamvis por Willclmum " and tho royal letter subse-
qucntly Bupcraedcd by what now figures as tho exor-

Eadmcrs narrativo which lies bctwecn the reconl oftfBMkiT.*
Aasclm's final rcturo to England and that of his dcath
(pp. 217-248).

Tlicrc cnn be little doubt that the double digrewiion <f\?t i J^"

Bat on examining the lotter ** Non debeo tacere "
" Stb^ coniained in it we may fairly ask whether Eadmer has

•m^ " not committcd anothcr of his blundcrs in regarding that
'^ ' document as a rccord of the final paciHcati^ ulXLQ7.
It says notiiing about homage, whicfi, if EiEulmer himsclf
may be bclicvcd, formcd an integral portion, no less
than investiture, of thc gcncral subject with which that
pacification was conccmcd. If its placo in the manu-
script copies of Anschn*s corrcspondcnce which I have
bcen able to consult may bo taken as evidencc, it is an
earlier composition than Paschal*s "De presbyterorum
filiis" written in the May of 1107, and earlier even
than the " Quod Anglici regis " written in the March
of 1106 ; it alludes to, if indeed it does not announce,
Robert of Meulan*s submission to the disciplinary prcssure
put on him by the Holy See, a surrcndcr refcrable to | J

the summer of 1 105 ; and it is precisely the sort of letter
which might havc bccn sont by Anselm to thc Pope
aftor tbe intcr\iew at Laiglc.

Nor is this all. If in the hope of ascertaining whcther f

or not Eadmcr be mistaken in assigning it to the
autumn of 1107 rather than to the summcr of 1105, we
subject it to a more careful inspection we find more
ihan enough to justify our doubts. It informs us ihat
ihe King had obeyed ihe Pope and rclinquished inves-
titares ; that the Count of Meulan, influenced by a letter
of menaco from Paschal, had played an orthodox part^

^^Jf!S^^ ^^ ^^^ Jlichard de Reviers had secondcd his cfforts.
Bui, after all, was Richard de Reviem alive as late as
the Augusi of 1107, and, if alive, can he have been at

ihither afier death, for he was buried at Montebourv.

and, until we can aACcrtain the date of his death, we
muHt bc contcnt to rcnicmbcr that the chances againat
hin having dicd aftcr the month of August sre as two
to onc.

Again. Tho dcscription of Henry as " rex qui domi- it»jyg^
" natur Angliii et Normannis" invites our notice. In «^HmjL
thc Hummcr of 1 105 Hcnr}% though not yet de jure Duke
of Normandy, w&h de facto mastcr of the Normans as
wcll as iiia.stcr of tho English; and such a phrase a»
" rcx (jui dominatur Anglis et Normannis" eould at
no timc havo 1)ccn more appropriately inventcd or more
Mignificantly cmploycd by such an adcpt in phraneol-
ogical nicctics as Ansclm than in tho critical summer of -
11 05. Ansclm, on thc othcr hand, was too courtly and
punctilious a prclato to refuse Henr}* his propcr title of '

dukc whcn oncc tliat titlo had bccn secured, and sub-
.*>titutc a circumlocutory dcscription in pUco of it.

Furthcnnorc. Eafhncr says, " I incorporato thls letter
" into tho proHcnt work in ovidenco of thc accuracy
" of my account of the sctUement on investitures ; ^

poasess, the " Nos tc in familiariiatcm '* (Migne, S. L.

elziii. 154 D), finils iis place in all such collections of

Anflelm'8 conrcspondence as I know bctween thoAC writ-

ten in the spring of 1105, and those written in the

following winter ; and it represents the count as having

becn absolved from ecclesiastical ccnsure by Anselm,

and as having relapsed into his old disobedience.

TiM" Voa On the whole, then, there would seem to be good rcason

MPt^prob» for believing that the " Non debeo tacero " was written

SEtotiw Boon afler the mcmorablc interview at Laigle in the

Bummer of 1105, and that Ea^lmcr is mistaken in rofer-

ring it to the year 1107.

teMtM» An isBue of some importance is involved in the con-

jMC. dusion at which scholars may arrive on this subject.

For if the " Non debeo tacere " was written bj»^ Anselm \: 'li

in thc year 1105, and if Eailmer was indcbted to it for
*hi8 account of thc pacification upon inv&stiture which
was ooncertcd in 1107, we may fairly question whcther
ihat accouht be dcscrving of our iiuplicit crcdcnce.

And here I ain reminded of tho threc questions I askcd
just now. Who had called in qucstion the accuracy of
£admcr's account ? What oiher roport was tlicrc of thc
Count of Meulan's conduct at thc pacificaiion of 1107 ?
"Why haa the copy, or ihc notice, of the Popc*» lcticr
disappeared ? An answer to tho first of them is sup-
plied by thc " Ocsia Regum " (page G49), where WilHam
<rf Malmesbury qualifies his accotmt of Henry's relin-
quishroent of thc claim to give invcstitures of churchcs
by the delivery of ring and crosier, by a reservaiion not
mentioned in the " Hisioria Novorum," and in scarcely
obvioos aecordance with £admcr's account in the " Vita
** Anaelmi." In this work ^ Eadnier says, " Rex enim,
" anteceaaorum suonim usn relicto, nec personas quie

Eaflnicr may not havo 1>ecn mislcd into framing hiii
Hcntcncc as ho did by a chronological blunder of his
own, thc blundcr of ansigning tho •* Non dcbeo tacere"
to thc ycar 1107 instcad of tho ycar 1105. If ever
thcrc was a momcnt whcn Hcnry wa.s tempterl to in-
dul^c in a diplomatic cconomy of conduct it was the
* critical momcnt whcn two cxcommunicatiomi threatened
hini, cithcr of which might liave cost him the ducal
coronet hc was alrcaily grasping and imperilled the
nafcty of thc royal crown it*clf. That, too, waa the
f>roper momcnt for dccp contrition on the part of Ro-
Ix^rt of Mcutan ; and Williani of Malmeebury'0 aoeount
may well innpirc a nu.spicion that thc count had no
rca^on for rclap.sing into pious gricf at a time when
no dan:;ci>i werc viMiblo in tho political horizon.

NNHiy Eidmer fthould havc cancellcd liis noticc, or hit
rccord, of thc Po|>c*n lettcr to Count Robcrt \n a qaestion
which may with propricty be lcft without an anawer
until we know thc placc thc lettcr had occupied in his
work. or thc charactcr of hin notice of it. But the most
proliablo account mAy l>e that he had given Paschal'0
*' NoA tc in familiaritatcm ** a placo which he in courM
of time found to bc inoonsiBtent with his later cbitmology.
On the whole then I think it likely tbat Eadmer
would not have inAcrte<l hin augmentatave " Inter hiee
" . . . . pncsentatus " but foi* his prooeness to eon-
tradict William of Ualmcsbury, that the " Non debeo

he aamgns to it, and that his reedrd of the final scttle*
ment on inveetiture must be acccpted with some caution.^

And if it be probable that what Eadmer says about
the pacification on investiture is refcrable, not to any
authentic information conceming what took place at
Westminster in the Aogust of 1107, but to his own
interpretation of a letter of Ansclm'^ writtcn in 1105, it
is not less probablo that what he says about the pacifi-
cation on homage is a mere gloss of his on a lcttcr of
Paschal'8 which he tclls us was written in 1 1 06 ; I
mean the " Quod Anglici rcgis" (pagc 210).

The concession made by Paschal in the " Quo<l Anglici
regis " had not been granted in perpctuity ; nor docs the
sentenoe " Nam papa . . . . colligi |K)tcst " (page
221) imply as of neccssity that Eadmcr thought it had.
Still, thc vcry fact that hc leaves us in doubt as to the
meaning we arc to givc his words raiscs a presumption
that, after all, his notion of what really was 8ett1e<l on
the subject of homage may havc Yicen none of thc
cleare^it Unquestionably the Popc had in thc spring of
110(5 granted a tcmporary toleration of "hominia; " un-
questionably Anselm in 1107 granted, and rrranted in
thc name of thc Holy Sce, a tolcration of " hominia "
which was likely to prove iKrmanent. But wcre thc
•* hominia " of thc first concession thc samc as the
" hominia " of the second ? If other authors arc to bc
believcd, thc homages henccforth to bc madc to the Princc
were to bc madc for thc temporalitics, an<l for the tcm-
poralitics only, of thcir prefennent ; and Eadmer himsclf

cannot havc madc uso of any such rcport whcn hc com-
mittcd that account to parchmcnt.^ As that account
now stands it certalnly is susccptiblc of an intcrprc-

which first and naturally suggcsts itsolf to thc rcadcr;

his notico of tho law of England on clerical homage,
noton the cnactmcnts of thc law-givcrs of England, but
on a docurocnt which, howcvcr voncrablc, was not of

trovcrsy bctwscn York and C!antcrbury was to supply the
staple of Uio supplemcntary a<ldition. The fourth book
of tlic " Historia Novorum " had whcn first issued little
if anything about thc York disputc, thc fifth when first
issucd had little if anything aboui St Anselm. Uence
tho rubric " Incipit quintus de sequentibua, et hoe ez
abundanti *' and hcnco the allusiona on pagea 2(K) and
284 to tho original work aa to a distinct literary effort
Nor is thin all. £admer'a own copy of the so{^)lcmen*
tary addition to hia work was comprised in a eeparate
volume, the leaves of which had an ampler teztual coii-
tent than thoee of tbe " Historia NoTomm " properiy so
caUed !

FRErACC.

The fint drafl of tho fiflh book was |m>bably bcgun

aoon after tho appointmcnt of Archbishop R&lph in 1 114 ;

there is a pa8sagc on pagc 301 which must have bccn

writton in 1110, contemporaneously with thc eyents of

which it trcats ; ' and the final publication took placo

eertainly as latc as the spring of 1121, and probably not

before the summer of 1124. The concluding doxology

invitcs thc infcrcnoe that it had not bccn Eadmcr*8 pur-

IHMc to add a sixth book, and tho fact that hc makcs

Henry 1. the iterwna loqiLens of that pions aix)stropho

may poasibly scrve to determine thc pcriod of his life

during which he made it his task to spcak sof tly of that

prince.

cuxc In the library of Coqms Christi CoUege, Cambridgc,

^' and lurking in MS. 341, thore is, as 1 havo already

intimatcd, a stray lcaf containing a portion of thc fifth

. book. It b of idcntical jMrnmanship with that of tho

volumc which has supplicd thc tcxt of thc " Vita " for

the present cdition, and must havo bccn removcd at

Eadmers own instanco from a transcript cither of the

fir^it rtve books or of thc six,' whilc such transcript was in

coursc of cxccution, for it has not bccn initiallcd.' Its

tcxt diflfcrs vcry rcmarkably from that of thc Cottonian

and Corpus copics ; and I infcr that, whatcvcr thc dato

of the edition which tho formcr of thcsc copics repre«

sents, that edition has pcr|>ctuatcd not thc pristine

text bttt a recension, an infercnce corroboratcd by tho

rcmarkable fact that, just as the text of tho Corpus

copy is ampler than that of the Cottonian, so is the

Cottonian in its tum characteriscd by marks which

show it to be ampler than that of the original.

The stories were £admer*8 own, and, cven though hc
should condonc William*8 violation of his copyright, it
waa on hia consciencc to rcctify thc blunders of WillianrK
version. According to thc Wiltshiro monk St Ansclm
appeared after death to a nun at Lyons and said some-
thing which implied that ho had not as yci obtaincd his
beaiiiude ; and a fow hours later a vision of the Blessed
Virgin was vouchsafcd to tho samc nun, informing hcr
ihai ihe Archbishop was now in thc glory of Ood. Thc
preaent digression, on thc other hand, asserts Eadmcr*»
claim io bc ihc authoritativc narrator of the two stories,
and diacredits the vcrsion put upon them by his rival,
who, missing the gisiof cach of them,*had formed avcry
inadequate cstimatc of Anselm*8 sanctiiy. Unquestion-
ably Si. Anaelm had appeared to a nun at Lyons, but
afier his departurc [post discesauTn] from that city, not
neccssarily after hiis death ; and the vision of the Blessed
Virgin had been vouchsafcd after Anscim'8 death, no
doubi, bui not, as ii would seem, io ihe rccipieni of ihe
earlier favour, and not ncccssarily on thc nighi foUowing

Eadmer secms to havo had a third, which was the very
simple device of intcrcalating new mattcr as cithcr book
happcncd to be undcrgoing traascription. Amplifications
made thus are not likcly to prcscnt such indicatory traces ^

as ** hic mihi in mentem vcnit/' " ad cceptum rcdcamus

C.C.C. volumo is of pcculiar valuc to us whcn comparcd

that tho last fifly pages of tho C.C.C. volume diffcr in
vcry many rcspects from thosc which preccde them, and
there can be no doubt that thcy arc part of a rough draft ^

oi the fiflh and sixth books bound up with a fair copy
of the first four and the earlicr portion of tho fifth. In
the last fifty pagCM it is that we find instances of
additional mattcr incorporatcd into thc work by the

how many into the fifih. But now that as regards the f ■]

susiained to well nigh Uie full talo of foursoore years,
Upsed and fltckcrcd ont Aflcr he had passed away the
Bcribe picocd togcther so much as had bccn cxecatcd
of the fair copy and what remaincd of the rough draftw
His work wan done. Eadmer had not composed the
mcditated doxology ; it was not for him to add an explicit.
Such is, I think, tho story which, could thcy find a
▼oice, the Icavcs of this book would tcll us.

I cannot find any rccord of the ycar of Eadmcr^H
death. But hc bclonged to an ordcr of mcn thc nhAtemi-
ousness and regularity of whose lives wcrc condncive
iolongevity ; at thc timc whcn hc undcrtook thcgovem-
roent of tho Church in ScoUand hc was far advanced in
his sixth dccailo ; at thc closc of the " Miracula " a work
hithcrto unpub1i.Hhcd in this country, but includcd in the
prcscnt vohimc» hc tclls us of his hoar}' hca^i and of
fingcrs which lcngth of days had rohbcd of thcir cimning ;
and there is no rcason why wc should not bclieve him
to have sccn tho first days of thc ycar 1 1 44, by which
timc hc would be about cighty ycars of age. Tliis sur-
misc is corroboratcd by thc cxtant conclusion of thc
fourth lx)ok of his grcat work, whcrc thc augniontativc
or commutatoiy " Priua tamcn," ^c. (pagc 258) is fol-
lowcd up by an ascription of praise to tho Ahnighty ^ j

writtcn bcforc Henrys dcath in thc Novcml>cr of 1135 ;
most prolmbly, it was inspircd by the stiungc incidcnts
of the spring of 1141.
cjt) Pit» Early in thc fifth book, again, (pagc 268) there is a
•f*!iiur passage, " Intcr hicc .... mali sunt," which would
pp^MM. seem to have had no place in the first i^suc, and must
therefore bo refcrrcd to a date later than 1124, for it
begins with the '• Inter haec " which not unfrcquently
marks an augmcntative digression, and is foUowed by a
paragraph containing the resumptive " nt diximus." It

certainly waa writion at a timo whcn Eadmcr waa
kccnly alivc to Hcnry'« want of nympathy for ecdeai-
astica of Englinh birth, anci it most probably waa written
aflcr Hcnry'8 dcath. It is not an ttinfrho, so that its
introduciion may fairly be ansigncd to the pcriod of the
penultiroaio transcription ; and it coniains a pataage
writicn in thc ihick of strangc and surprifting erenta that
ianght mankind not to anticipate the judgmcnt of Him
who distribuiofl crowns and punishmcnia according to His
own in.scnitablo will. " Quie dum iia sint nullus sibi

worthy of noto that, a]though he is careAil enough io

of Lanfranc's consccration, ho has not oondescended io

Ixii PREFACE.

He has, howevcr, within the limits of the first hun-

dred pages comniitted two very singular erroni, and it i.s

to the praiso of human crcdulity — I cmploy the word

credulity in its classical and uninvidious sense — that

through eight long centurics they uhould have escaped

iwdaferof detection. Our author informs us on page 62 that thc

tnrfeaM * Council of Rockingham assembled on the cleventh of

SS^n- March 1095, and on page 82 that St. Anselui assumed

«mU£nor the pallium on thc tcnth of Junc in the same year. In

' cach iastanco he is precisely a fortnight wide of the truth.

The Gospel sung on the day when Ansclm first wore thc

l^aUium was the Gospel of the Marriage Feast,and I know

of no litnrgy that assigns that passage of Uoly Writ to

the fourth Sunday aftcr Pentecost, which in tho ycar

1095 fell on the tcnth of June. Again, if the Rocking*

ham Council met on the eleventh of March, the day of its

meeting was the fifth Sunday in Lent, in which c&se

Eadmer contradicts himsclf, for hc tells us in the " Vita "

that it was tho third.

The truth is that in the year 1095 Easter foll on thc
twcnty-fifUi of Maixh, not, as Eadmer secms to havc
thought whcn he wrote his earlier narrative, on the oighth
of April ; and to bring that narrative into harmony with L^

Astronomical fact, and indced into harmony with the \ ]

'* Vita," we must make the council meet on the twenty- f |

fiflh day of February, and set down the twenty-scventh
of May as the day on which Anselm assumed the pallium.
William of Malmesbury, who makes the same mistake in
either instance, must have had the " Historia Novorum '*
bcf ore him as he wrote his " Gesta Pontificum ; " and I
believe that every writer on St Anselm from William of
Malmeabury to myself ' has repeated the blunder. If I
have baen the last to fall into the pit^ I am happy in

II. Thi " Db Vita et Conversatioxe Anselmi
Archiepiscopi Cantuariensis."

It would sccm to havc bcen during St. Anselm^s second
i- i i i i n ^D» exilo tliat Eadmer Orst eave cfTect to the idea of com-
tflh posing a florilegium of anccdotes about his master. Thc
8aint'8 home during the grcatcr part of 1104 was at
Lyons under the roof of Archbishop Hugh ; but during
two of the hottest months of thc summer hc was the
gncst of the sainUy Abbot of Cluny. Abbot Hugh
spared no pains to entertain liis guest by telling him a
few storics of sHght intrinsic intcrcst, but of considcrablc
Talae to us by reason of the light thcy shcd on the lifc
and converse of all sorts of rocn in thosc days ; and
Ansclm in his tum would now tcll somc wondcrful tale,
about the reality of which he sccms to havc becn philo-
sophf^ally indiflerent, and now record somc intcresting
incidcnt in his own life. His romantic storics havc bccn
recorded by Alexandcr, a Christ Church monk, one of
the companions of his exile, and his biographical anec-
dotes, or, at lcast^ some of thcm, by Eadraer ; whilst a
aeries of scrmons which he prcachcd during thc visit
has been reportcd with characteristic difTerenccs by
both one and the othcr. Eadmcr^s copy of thc " Bcatitudo
Perennis Vitfe,** for that was thc subjcct of thc scrmons,
I have had thc happincss of inspccting ; and it tallies so
admirably with what intemal evidcncc tells us of the
first copy of the treatisc " Dc Yita ct Convcrsationc
Anselmi " aii to cnablc us to form the most probable con-
jectore which cau be rcasonably desircd of the little book
which wa« destined to be the groundwork of the most
fiunous of his biographical eflbrts.

Eadmer reoords the origin of the work in the foUowing
words : — " I had just taken the work in hand, and trans-
*« ferred a considerablc portion of it from the rough drafl

thing in Bilcnce than unyeil it to him, when he detired {

me eithcr to desiit from my undertaking and tum to * {

something elsc, or to show him my manuscript I •

rcadily obcycd, for I had already ei\joyed his help and [

profitcd by his con-cctions in some few writings of mine,
'* and I hopcd that with his own rcal kindncM he would i

corrcct what nccdcd correction, and if any of the btoriei» !

had not bccn arranged in due order would put them each !

in its propcr place. Nor was I to be disappointcd. He

corrected some paviAges in my litUe book, and cancelled
" othcrs ; changcd the place of some, and lefl othcrs where 4

thcy wcre. Grcat was my delight, and grcat my pride

. . . . , but aflor flome few dayn the archbishop ' *

callod mc to hini and dcflircd me to dcstroy the quires

on which I had written my work " (Vita Ansclmi
II. Ixxii.). Eadmcr thcn gocs on to eay that he did as he
ha^l !>ccn tolcl, Iiut not I)cforc hc had made a surrcptitious
copy of thc rcvifwjcl and correctcd anccdotcs.

What of thc many anccdotes we now posscss they werc tJ;
therc can I)C little difliculty in surmising ; and it is a
rcinarkablc fact that thc vcry anccdotcs which Anselm |

wotild havc bcen likely to tcll about himsclf, the only |

anccdotcs, thercforc. which he can have rcviscd and cor- !

rc»cte<l in Eadmcr's tran>«cript, arc prociscly thoftc which . I

Kocm to have prcscrvcd thcir tcxtual identity throughont j

the «ucccssivc cditions of the ** Vita." But, wiih one j

single cxccption, thcy are of no grcat length ; knd, to fiU
ab many as evcn two qoircs, must have been written on
pages of vcry small taxtual contcnt I had examined
tho Bubjcct with grcat care, had convinced myself that if
Eadmer submittcd as fcw as two quires to Anselm^s in-
Rjicction, cach of tho thirty-two pages ean scaroely have !

comprised more than the equivalent of some sixtcen lines I

of Migne's reprint, and was easting about for some ease \

in proof of pages of so small a textual oontent, when I !

rately wiih Uie hypothetical pagcs which I had assigned

D» Bmii. to Eadmer^s transcript of the anecdotes he had heard his
^••'' master tell ; and there was that about it which left no
doubt that it was Eadmer'8 autograph.'

Now, the most casual gUnce at Migne's reprint of the

" Vita ** shows that many of tho anccdotes in it are of

, about equal length, and arc precieely such as Eadmcr

i^r^ttw would hare been likely to hcar from the lips of Anselm.
Thub the stories of the child s vision of thc heavenly
|)alaco, of the boy'8 projoct of cntcring rcligion, of tho
young man's eventful visit in company with Lanfranc to
the Archbishop of Rouon, and tho account of tho good
priors interest in the moral welfare of young mcn, fill
each of them some twcnty-ninc lines in thc Abb^ Migne's
edition.

Doubtless each ^f the anccdotes had its propcr heading
in Eadmer^s original florilegiuni, and cach may have had
a largo initial letter, nor noed any onc of ihem have been
extended to the very end of tho last line reserved for it.
Anyhow, the textual content of thirty lincs of Migne
is 80 ncar to thirty-two, ihc printed cquivalcnt in Migne
of a leaf of ihe " Bcatitudo/* ' that wc may well believc
thb latter treatiso and Eadmer's original florilcgium to
have been written on quircs of tlio samo size and of the
aame textual content.

IZZ PBEFACK.

The question now arbes, How much of tho first book
fta it 18 now known by us <lid Aniiolin himsolf sce in the
florilegium of anecdotes which Eadmcr submittcd to his
inspeetion ? Sixteen anecdotes, oach of the length of
the prologue, or tbe equivalcnt of sixtccn such ancc-
dotes, would fill two quires. Can it bo possible to
determine any or all of them ? Or can we asccrtain
where it wai that Ansc1m's rcvising pcn corrcctcd or
cancelled his disci|>lo's work ?

i. The notice of Ansclm'8 parents, ** Instituta vita)

- dcfunctus est" (pp. 299, 300) is

slightly shorter than the bricfor pieccs in tho earlier
portion of the work ; and we naturally wonder that afler
the promise of information conccming the " ortus " as
well as tho. " mores " of Qundulf and Ermenburg we
ahould only be told that ** nobilitcr nati nobilitcr sunt
oonrcrsati." If it bc truo that An.sclm's mother was
a grand-daughter of Conrad tho Pacific, and a nieco of
Budolf III., Kings of Transjuran Burgundy, it is by
no means unlikely that Eadmcr should have recorded
the fact, and that Anselm himself should have cancelled
the reeord. Tho account as it now stands occupies
twenty-eight lines in Mignc and twcnty-sevcn of tho
present edition.

iL The account of the cliilds vision, " At Ansclraus
. • . asserebat " (page 300), must surcly havc formed
part of £admer'8 original coUcction. It occupics thirty
of Migne'8 Unes and twcnty-ninc of the prcsent cdition.

The short passago which follows, " Crevit crgo . . •
" plurimum profecit," is not improbably all that remains
of a passage which Uio archbishop*8 humility promptcd
him io suppress ; for Eadmer must surcly have known
the 8tory which I was fortunate enough to discover a
few years ago in the Vatican Library,' and that Ansclm
ahoold eaneel it was as likely as that Eadmer should

standa now ; if we exclude from it the short panegyrical
|iassage, " yidere.s tunc . . . refovobat " (pago 307),
and the " ut flens referebat," a line or two before. These
neoessary abatemcnts made, the story fUls fifty-eight
lines in Migne and thc samc number in the present
volume.

viii. Thc twelfth chaptcr fills twcnty-nine and twenty-
eight lines in thc two rcprints rcspcctively. There can
be no qucstion that it formed part of tho original.

ix. The next |X)rtion of the narrative which may with
IHX>bability be referred to Anselm as its ultimatc author,
is the history of thc Proslogion " Post hiec incidit . .
** . . subscribatur'* (pp. 314, 315). In some editions
it forros a chaptcr by itsclC Mignc givcs it in fifty-eight
lincs, the present volume in fifty-six.

X. Afler the lettcr to Lanzo and scveral pages of
|)aneg}Tical matter, wc comc (pagc 323) to thc account
of Anselm's clcction to thc abbcy of Lc Bec, " Dcfuncto
" . . , . i-ecusaret," which may fairly bc rcgarded
9Ji a record of Ansclms own account, if wc takc carc not
to add to it, what is cvidcntly an addition of £admer's,
the following "Nam, sicut ipse testabatur," &c. In
either edition it fills thirty-onc lincs, a fact which gocs
to prove that in hls fasciculus of anecdotes, as in his
" Beatitudo," Eadmers writing grew slightly cramped
as he advanccd in his work.

ThuB we have ten pieccs, seven of which filled cach
a leaf, whilst three filled two lcavcs each, of the same
textual value as those of the " Beatitudo " written by
Eadraer during hjs master'8 visit to Cluny in ihe year
1104; in other words, thirteen leaves of unsuppressed
narratiTe. How much Anselm had cancelled before
Eadmer tranacribed these thirteen leaves it is impos-

sible io determine. In all probability, a story coneem-
ing his childhood was erased, and one at least, probably
more than one, about his fif teen years of abbatial office.

Whcn, thcn, Ansclros scntcncc of dcstruction was^**"*'*^
isAued against tho ten pieces which his perusal had
spared to Eadiner, the lattcr tmnscribcd thcm, as we [^
have scen, to othcr quires of vellum similar in size and SI5ij2r*

content to those which hcld the precious original, and
put his theft carefully away out of sight But after
Anselm's deatli he brought it out to the day and ang«
mented it by a vcry simplo process. Beforo him lay his
thirteen leaves of contraband hagiology. After the fiflh
of them he put in a single leaf containing the passage
" Quid plura T . . . . sperabat " * (pp. 302, 303).
Aftcr the sixth of thcm he laid in four new leavcs on
which wcro writtcn all that now intcrvenes betweon the
words " Ansclmushfocaudicns" nt the close of the sixth
chapter and tho first wonl of the tenth (pp. 304-306).*
Next, of coursc, camc the «tory of Osbem on two leaves,
oripirally thc scvcnth and cighth.

After the tcnth of his contraband loavcs he intro-
duccd no lcss than five, on which werc all that now
intcrvcncs bctwcon thc prior*H visit to Archbishop Man-
ville and the construction of thc argument of the Proe-
logion '* Dchinc Ansclmus .... probat et astmit "
(pp. 310-314), with tho probable cxception of the miracle
of thc globc of light ; ' after which came tho eleventh
and twelRh of his original leavcs with the story of the
Proslogion. Thus wcre twelve of the thirteen original
leaves incroascd in numbcr to eightecn.

the original thirtcen. All of course was new matter

the work after the complotion of tho first book.
ii^ Tho publication of the " Vitaet Ck>nversatio Ansolmi *'
may be traced through seven succcssive stages.

i. The Cluny transcript, augmented in the way I have
juift described, formed the basis of the first edition. That
edition had not the account of thc discontenied abbot,
the letter to Lanzo, or the Lyons miraclc, and may just
probably havo lacked something else. It gave tho first
version, if any, of the story of tho runaway horso (11.
Iviii.), and it ended at the words " viUe et convcrsationis
" cjus " (IL Ixviii).

ii. The augmcntation of the text by the story of tho
discontented abbot and the lcttcr to Lanzo, with, prob-
ably, a verbal alteration horo and there, must have
brought the work to its second stage of devclopment
There are transcripts of it as it thcn stood, not indccd
in England, whero the author's vigilance called in the
copies he had distributed, but in the National Library
at Paris, whither it has found its way from Norroandy,
and in the Dijon Library.

iiL The introduction of the Lyons miracle (II. liii.)
marks the third known stage in the growth of the
work. There are copies of it in the Royal Library at

pbaiic than Eadiner*8. He says, speaking of Archbifihop
Hugh, " In ianta veneratione patrem Anselmnm habuit,
" nt eum nunquam nisi dominum suum vocaverit, cui
" eiiam omnibus diebus quibus cum eo morati sumus
** magni6ce valde servivii*' (chaptcr 42) ; and in another
plaee (chapier 45) he makes thc Primate of the Oauls
spcak of the Primate of ihe Britains as " dominus meus."
These words cannoi have been cmployed by Archbishop
Hngh afler a merely conveniional fashion — liko our
"My Lord"-^r ihe faci would not haTO been noted.
The reason of their uso is, I think, noi far to seek. Long
before I made aoquainiance with Alexander*8 work I
hady after much siudy, come io the conclusion ihat St.
Anse1m'8 moiher appcrtaincd io the royal family of
Transjuran Buigundy, two mcmbers of which had in
saccession held the archbishopric and exarchate of
Lyons from the acccssion of that tcrritory to the realm
of Conrad iho Paci6c on his marriage with Matilda, the
daughier of Louis d'Outremer, until about the time of
Anse1m'8 birth, when, the second of them being ousted
by ihe Emperor, a third mcmber of thc same race was
made, althongh a mere child, to contcst thc succession to
the double dignity of archbishop and count of Lyons.
This child, if my gencalogical spcculations be corrcct, was
a cousin of Anselm*8, in which case nothing can be less
nnlikely ihan ihat on his death Anselm should have
been regarded as the inheritor of his pretension. Hence,
then, as I am convinced, the remarkable siyle of
"dominuB mcus ** gircn by Archbishop Hugh to his illus-
irious guest It was a recognition of the ancient claim
of ihe royal house of Burgundy to eonfer the see of
Lyons on one of its members.

There would almosi appear to have been an under-
■taiiding beiween Alexander and Eadmer as to Uie
aneedoies which each should regard as his own property»
otherwiM mnch ihai we have in Eadmer*» work wonld
■mly be in Alezander^s, and much thai we have in

The next five gatherings (pp. 23-104) are niled with
indented lines, and instead of being rcgistered from iii.
to viL aro registcred from i. to v. as though they were the
beginning of a volume. Pp. 103, 104, are on a fly Iea£

The nezt twelve gathcrings (pp. 105-298) are ruled
with indented lines and arc rcgistcred from vi. to xvii.

The next five gathcrings (pp. 299-378) aro rulcd with
indented Unes, but lincs at lcast half an inch longcr than
those of the * previous fasciculi. Thcy should of courso
bo registered from xviii, to xxii., but tho numbers cm-
ployed are xviL, xviii., xix, xx., xxL, which the mcrest
glance shows to have bceh altcrcd by crasure from xxviL,
xxviiL, xxix., xxx., xxxi. What thcn can havc bccomo of
the nine gatherings which it is to bc prcsumcd onco had
their plaoe betwcen the third and fourth scctions of this
volume ? And what did they contain ? I find on carcful
oomputation that thc cxisting text of the first four books
of the " Uistoria Novorum *' if lcssencd by tho climi-
nation of the textual content of forty-four of £admcr's
original pagcs would fill nino such quires as Eadmer has
used for the copy of the " Vita'* containcd in the volume
we are examining. The case is, I think, sufficicntly clear.
The " Vita " as it stood in its tbird cdition could be
improved to a fourth and a fifth Htago of completcness
without exoessive disfiguremcnt of the parchmcnt, and
without the sacrifioe of more than one lcaf ; but not so
the " Historia Novorum '* which by the time that the
different aections of tho existing volumo were bound up
together had become a thing of the past Or rathcr,
because the edition of the *' Historia Novorum," hitherto
a portion of the samo book with the surviving " Vita/'
had beoome a thing of the past, it was detached from the
" Vita»" and not improbably destroyed, succeeding editions
of the " Historia " henceforward forming a volume by
themaelvef, and Eadmer's own copy of the "Vita"
iaking ita plaoe amongst his minor works.

Bni furthcr inspoction of the book bringB to viow
oiher featurcs which &ro well worth rccording.

The fimt pioco is a sot of vcrscs on St Dunstan, which
.the Bishop of Chcstor has published in his "Momorials "
of that prelate (pago 424). Thcn come, prccodcd by tho
mnsical notation propor to each, throo hymns in honour
of St Edward, king and martyr ; tho first and third of
ihem in iambie octosyllablcs, thc sccond in a metre of
which this is a samplo : —

"Hira Doi bonitas, mira potontia,
Qusd bona cuncta creaas ordinat omnia
.^uo modcramino."

Tho mosic as well as tho words is no doubt Eadmor'8.

On pago 107 tho words ''Dunstanus adolcsccntin

deeus/' in the passago boginning, "Jam Dunstanus
** adolesccntisd decus induerat/' &c. aro writton in dif-
fcrcnt ink ^rom the contcxt, and, apparontly, in a spaco
which had bcen left blank for thcir inscrtion. This
reminds us of tho chronological doubts of which tho
CO.C. transcript of the "HistoriaNovorum^gives witnoss.

On pago 187, in his account of St Dunstan's unbend-
ing severity against uttcrcrs of falsc coin, tho toxt as wo
now know it is, " Monotarii ncmpe, qui falsos ox in-
" dustria denarios faciunt f ures sunt ; " but tho crasurcs
and marginal inscrtions in our archctypo show clcarly
that tho restrictive relativo clauso had had no placo in
ihe pristine text.

On page 143 he describes the mothcr of St Edward
as " pnepotentis Orientalium Anglorum ducis filia/'
where it is evident that " Oricntalium " is a subsequcnt
inaertion into his text For this correcter information
be was, as it would soem, indebted» not to his old oorres-
pondent Ethebred, but to Nicolas, the writer of tho
loiter on page 6 about the mother of St Edward. That
leiter is a xemarkable produetion ; and, giving the lie to
tlie famdui story of the two septennial penances im-
poead on Edgar by St Dunstan must have been highly
vaload by Eadmer, who had now the material whenoe.

lcnds probability to tho idea that they bclong to the
finit Ust of the kind put forth by Eadmcr ; and tho fact
that there i» no knoiKii copy of them lcnds probability
to the idea that they wcro suppressed at early date
after their composition. I think, thcreforo, that, pcnd-
ing the di^covery of further information, wc Bhall be
safo in assigning Eadmer'8 first publication of his capi-
tala to the date of thc transcription of that oopy o£ tho
** Historia Novorum/' of which a fragiucnt cxbts homo-
gencous with the looso lcaf of capitula» and thus to a
date not c^lier than the summcr of 1124. The subjcct
ia not without its proper hagiological interest^ for it is
impossiblc to pcruso the capitula without noting tho
cnbanccment of the miraculous idca exhibited in them
as contrastcd with thc contents of thc work itself. The
mbric does not^ indcod, style Anselm "sanctus;** but
a comparison of the titles to chaptcrs 23 and 24 of tho
aeeond book with those chapters themselves servcs to
indicate the lapse o£ some years betwcen the composi-
iion of the work and tho composition of tho capitula.
The paliDograghcr and tho hagiologist will not impro-
bably agree in referring them to the ycar 1125, a date
about half way betwecn thc first publication of the
" YiU " and the completion of the " Miracula." >«

I have collated tcn copies of the Vita : —

tho lineatcd spaco on each page measuring ten inchcs

ihe transcription carcless. The damage dono by tho firo

portions of almost overy page are irrecoverably lost,
and a difilicult one, for much of what rcmains can only bo

One of its leavcs has' bccn inadvcrtcntly misplaccd (eee

ifl odmirably done, and so doscly rescmbles our exemplar
that wo may saf ely pronounoe it to haye boen taken f rom
a good copy of it at a time when it wanted only the last
touch of the author'8 hand« At the end of the capitola
and on fol. 183 v. b the following memorandum.—
" Scriptum pcr me fratrem et oommonachum ecdeai»
Christi cantuarie dompnum Ricardum Stone indignom.
Soli Deo honor et gloria. Amen. Sancte Anselmeora pro

coinpanics this meroorandum lends interest to the final
cjaculation. The informal canonixation of Anselm bj the
cammunU aenstis of his contemporaries had been rati*
ficd at Romo as reccntly as the year 1497.

K. Lambeth 163 (fi! 71-105) ; a folio copy on yeUum KX

Tho reader must alrcady have rcmarked that of the JJgTS
fourteen copies known to bo extant the siz which re-
prescnt carlier stages of the elaboration of the work are
prcciscly such as aro prcscrved beyond the limits of onr
island, and that the only oopy which gives os the work
08 it was at its fourth or medial stage is one which noi
iroprobably had its homo in the far west of England
until it was transported to Rochester. The facts aoeord
with what Eadmer tells as in the prologue to tho ** If ir-
acula,*' whcn ho says that he had found it impottible to
call in ali the copies of the " ViU " which were by thai
time in existenoe, so as to bring them into conformiiy
with his last rescension. Hence the pecoliar valiia of
A., B. and C which, being tranacripts of eopies earried

declared against the duke. Hence, probably, the sup-
pre5wion not only of Eadmer'8 ''innumeris peremptis"
but of his " Tictor/'

This double correction, now for the first time made
fHiblie, may bo of service to the leamed, first, in guiding
Ihem to a just notion of the action at Tinchcbrai, and,
seoondly, in helping them to appraise tho erudition of
Hcnry Beauderc. That erudition would secm to havo
Lecn considerablc, not in itself, but in compari.son with
that of other princcs and laymen of rank. For we may
lairly doubt whether evcn so able a man as Robert of
Mculan can have bcen familiar with the Latin language.
He ccrtainly sccms not to havo understood Ansehn's
famous lettcr, " Tibi, Thoma, "(H. N., pago 247) whcn it
was read in his hearing, and to bave rcquired an intcr-
preter before he grasped the mcaning of tho text of tho
dccrecs of the Council of the Yatican.^

Of the five copios of tho " Vita " which contain tho
emcndcd tcxt of thc story of Tinchcbrai thrce have the
" Miracula/' and a fourth (D.) may havo had them whcn in
iis first estate. It is rcasonablc, thcrefore, to infcr that
Eadmer B corrccter infonnation was rcccivcd aftcr an
intcrval of moro than a year or two from tho first isHUc
of his work, and thus during his rosidcnce in Normandy
in and aflcr tho ycar 1116.

III. Perhaps thc most instructivo chango in Eadmcr's
text is one which he mado quitc early in the day, but
whieh has not asyet bccn brought undcr tho cognizanco
of modem scholarship. I alludc to the ** quodam modo "
with which on page 871 he qualifies his earlier record of
Anselm'e triumph in the causo of the church's freedom.

The trutb is that neither Henry nor Ansclm had been
unwisc enough to exaggcratc thc trcmcndous difficultics
ihat surroundcd tho discuHHion on invcstiturc by adding
io them a subsidiary quarrcl on clcctoral rights ; ^ and
what we must qualify with a " quodam modo " is, not
Anselm'8 triumph, which was complctc, but Eadmcrs
overrated account of thc ficld it covcrcd. And just aft the
aooount of the final scttlcment in 1107 which we rcad in
ihe " Historia " would secm to havc becn l^nscd on a
deduction of Eadmcr s from the " Quod Anglici regiH,"
80 does the account which wo find in tlic " Vita " sccm to
have been bascd on a deduction of Eadmcr*s from tho
" Non debeo taccre, " ' not on any authentic rccord or
tnistworthy report of what was done on that cventful
oocaaion. (Sce above, xlii-xlvi, xlvi-xlviii.)

It can scarcely bc ncccssary to call tlic rcaders atten-
iion to tho hexametrical closc of many of Eadmcr*s
scntcnccs in the " Vita." Can it have bccn his intention

tho " Vita/' hiH " DcHcriptio quonindam Miraculonim giM

pago of the quire; and an examinaiaoD of tba tMit
iihows un how ai intcryale ii grew under thti aoilioff^t
■uporiniendence.

xeviii PB£rAci£.

The history pt thifi litilo trcatise may bo traccd
throagh five distinct stagcs.

I. Tho first infltalinent bcgan with tho opening words
of tho Prologno on pago 379, " Cnm vitam vcncrandi
'* patris Anisebni/' &e. . . . and endod on pago 387
at tho wordfl ** crcdcro non dnbitavimus." It conipriscs
a eopious rccord of tcn miraculous or quasi-miraculouH
incidcntfl and an clcvcnth paragraph on tho virtucs of
the wonder-working girdlc. Four out of tlio tcn Htorics
relate to the saints' cstatc immcdiatcty aftcr dcath, it
boing iho author*s dcsign to provc that hiN masicr*s soul
had no sooncr shufilcd ofl* mortality than it passcd to its
Uiss undotaincd by thc purging fircs which aro ihe lot
of the majority of iho clcct It was on iho vory day
of his deaih, so tho firsi of ihcm would havo us infer,
that Anselm was io rcccivc tho rcwanl ihat had bccn
prcparcd for him. Tho sccond iolls u.s ihat no sooncr
had he brcaihcd his last sigh ihan Si. Dunstan bado tho
miniBiers of bliss eonvoy him io his ctcmal homc. No
Booncr, says ihe third, was hc dcad ihan ho was cloihcd
with ihe robe of joy. And ihc fourih informs us ihat
whilsi cvcn now hc hicd him to his joy a sick man iill
that momcnt thought to be dying was rcsiored io hcalih.

Having satisficd himsclf of An.soIin*s immcdiaic pass-
agc from carih io hcavcn, Kadmcr ncxt rccords six
bagiographical incidcnis, only two of which nccd dciain
Qs, ihat of iho Lyons nun and ihai of tho sick man who
was curod by tho girdlo. Tho laitcr, and ihus tho wholo
portion of tho work which wo aro now considcring, was
written after the dcaih of Archbishop Ralph late in iho
yearll22; the formcr muHt havo I)ccn rccordcd bcfore
Eadmer beeame aoquaintcd wiih William of Malmcs-
Imry^B * Qesia Poniificum." Tho ycar 1126 is pcrhaps
tm aafe an approximation as can bo tnado to the date of
the first instalmeni of the treaibe.

n. On examining the noxi paragraph, or rather the
tnt Miitenee of the next paragraph, " lUad tamen

" ojus/' tho " ot " in tho ncxt lino, and iho " oi " in the

but thcro arc no data from which to dcicrminc thc ycar

III. Although tho ncxi 8tory,*Noc alicui incrcdibilo"
&c., rclaics to quitc a difTcrcni subjcci^ ia writtcn with
othcr ink and by anoihcr hand, it docs noi consiiiuio a
frcsh paragraph. Possibly Eadmcr had by ihia iime
grown ioo infirm to watch tho movomcnta of a now
scribc. Bo thai as it may, it and iho two paragraphs

which succccd ii, ** Intcr hnHS ianti viri

country ; but ho is known to have bccn ai St A]ban*a
on August 2nd, 1129, on ihc occasion of iho iranalaiion
of thc saint.*

Tho icxt of tho sccond story cxhibits a curioua peca*
liarity, inasmuch as thc firsi mcniion of Ansckn's rcsting
placo in Cantcrbury Caihcdral calls ii "aepulchrum'*
whilst the sccoud and thinl call ii a "tumulus* or
** tumba,** a drcumstanco which haa induced ihe acribe of
H. to rcplace " scpulchrum " by " iumulua." Bui henea*
forth throughoui the work we never have ** iumolua* or

tlicreforc, that the pcriod of timc which Eaclmcr had in
incmor}' whcn composing tho paragra))h " Intcr ha^c tanti

" intcllcxit '* waa a pcriod part of which

prcccdcd and part of which foliowcd the trannfcrcnco of
St An8c1m*8 rcmaina from thc navo of the cathcdral to
its castom limb.

Thc ncxt and last Btory in tho group rcprcficnts a
pricst aR p&<wing by thc Aaint*8 sepiUchrum on his way
to an altar» and thus, it is to bc prcHumcd, to onc of the
chapels that fringcd Prior Conrad's choir. Gonracrs
choir was consccrated in thc year 1130.

Wc cannot, thercfore, with Kafcty assign an carlier
date than the ycar 1130 to thc inscrtion of this triple
£^up of storics ; but inasmuch as the second of tho
group gives Aasclm on the authority of a cclcstial vision
ihe "pncnomen sanctitatis/' inasmuch as Eadmcrwould
bc likcly from the day on which . he hcard of the vision
to call his late mastcr " saint/' and inasmuch as the only
passage in the ** Historia Novorum " in which ho docH
80 call him is one which must have bccn written after
the dcath of Henry I.,' thc year 1 1 36 will pcrhaps bo
nearcr the truth than the year 1130 as an approxi-
tnation to the date of the third instalment

Whatever the prccise datc, the rubrics to thc tract
inust already have bcen inscrtcd, for they style Ansclm
"gloriosus pater'* not "sanctus." Not so the Hst of
oontentii prefixed to the volumo, where he haa the
higher title.

IV. Tho ponmanship and ink of the next story show
it to be a fourth instalment The story is that of a poor
nuui at St Edmund*8 whose house waii saved from des-
traction by fire through the interceasion of St Anaelm.
This poor man was at tho timo of his great danger
living in the vicinity of St Edmund*8 monastery, and
nnder the proieetion of ita abbot, the younger Anselm ;

Buroly, coald bo moro prolmblo than ihai tho child of a
tonant of one of tho archicpi8co[)al cfltatcs within a Bhori
distancc of Cantcrbuiy should bc devoted to religion, if
any wlicro, in tho mona8tcry of Christ Chureh. Nor is ii
unlikely that tho rccipicnt of Lanfranc*8 bonnty, whom
Eladmer mcntions in his mcmoir of that prelato (H. N.
|mgo 17), nhould have l)cen tbe mothor of our author, for
tho incidcnt which ho rccords cannoi havc bocn topic

His anniversary was kcpt at Canterbury on the 13th
of January, but thc prcciso year of his dcath cannot bo

Tliat the italiciiicd words are an intrusive gloss is
probable enough from the analogy o( the preceding
iastanccs, and morally ocrtain from thcir correspondcnco
with the close of the rubric which puzzled Wlarton.
That rubric is " Expllcit Vita Anscbni edita ab Edmero

" Madulphi Aixhie^n^copi,*' Whoevor may have oom-
posed tho carlicr portion of the scntcnce, the italicised
portion of it must be refcrrcd to some other origin, as in
the three cascs just instanced; for the same author
would have said not " Priore ecclcsia) Christi/' but
•* Prioro cjusdom cccIcsir)."

How the oflicious scribc of a later age camo to con«
found Eadmcr and Elmcr is a qucstion of comparative
unimportanco. By drawing attcntion to his glosscs and
showing thcm to havo bccn awkwardly wclded with
earlicr work, I have done all that is necessary. Still I
cannot refrain from observing that tho titlo givcn in I. to

We shall scarcely do Eadmer an injustice if in

historian, we take little account of tho fifth and sixth

io have servcd him as an excuso for not lcaving somo-
thing on record that might havo boen of incaiculable uso

When he reprcscnts old fashioncd |x;ople as saying, not

had said to the Roucn Jcw, " I havc done what you asked,
" pay what you promiscd/' he makcs the latter retort in
truly oricntal fashion, " My son is even now more con-
