PUBLISHED BT THE AUTHOBITT OF HER MAJESTY'S TREASDRT, UNDER
THE SISKCTION or THE UASTEK OF THE ROLLS.
On the 26th of Jauuary L857, the Master of the Rolls
Bubmitted to the Treasury a proposal for the publication
of materials for the History of this Country from the
Invasion of the Romans to the Reign of Henry VIII.
The Master of i^e Rolls suggested that these materials
should be selected for publication under competent editors
without reference to periodical or chronological arrange-
ment, without mutilation or abridgment, preference being
given, in the first instance, to such materials as were most
scarce and valuable.
He proposed that each chronicle or historical document
to be edited should be treated in the same way as if the
editor were engaged on an Editio Princeps ; and for this
purpose the most correct text should be formed from an
accurate a>llation of the best MSS.
To render the work more generally useful, the Master
of the Rolls suggested that the editor should give an
account of the MSS. employed by him, of their age and
their peculiarities ; that he should add to the work a brief
account of the life and times of the author, and any
remarks necessary to explain the chronology ; but no other
note or comment was to be allowed, except what might be
necessary to establish the correctness of the text.
jdovGoot^lc
The works to be published in octayO} eeparatdy, as
they were finished ; the whole responsibility of the task
resting upon the editors, who were to be chosen by the
Master of the Rolls with the sanction of the Treasury.
The Lords of Her Majesty's Treasury, after a careful
consideration of the subject, expressed their opinion in a
Treasury Minute, dated February 9, 1857* that the plan
recommended by the Master of the Rolls "was well
calculated for the accomplishment of this important
national object, in au effectual and satisfactory manner,
within a reasonable time, and provided proper attention be
paid to economy, in making the detailed arrangements,
without unnecessary expense."
They expressed their approbation of the proposal that
each chronicle and historical document should be edited
in such a manner as to represent with all possible correct-
ness the text of each writer, derived from a collation of the
best MSS., and that no notes should be added, except
such as were illustrative of the various readings. They
suggested, however, that the preface to each work should
contain, in addition to the particulars proposed by the
Master of the Rolls, a biographical account of the author,
BO far as authentic materials existed for that purpose, and
an estimate of his historical credibility and value.

PREFACE.
It vill be difficult for the kindliest temper to give p
a fiieadly welcome to the medical philosophy of Saxon
days. As man has an ever recurring proneueas to
make himaelf the standard of truth, to condemn, sneer
at, and despise all that he does not choose or is unable
to comprehend, bo in a greater degree every generation
of men admires its own wisdom, skill, science, art, and
progress ; it calls its own, whatever it has learnt firom
men of former days, and counts the few improve-
ments which have had their birth in its own time^ as
triumphs and (^tinctions which elevate it above all
the -paat.
If we consider the history of the ages gone by, these Oor debt to
high pretensions wUI soon abate somewhat of their '**" *^^
confidence. The progress of those contrivances towards
oor comfort, which we sum up in the term civilization,
has been very creeping and laborioos. Our great
capitals are smaller than Borne, the fortunes of our
men of millions are trifles to the wealth . of a Crassus
or a Lncollus, our houses are less carefully warmed
in winter than the Roman villas, our poetry has no
Homeros, our sculpture no Praxiteles, our architecture
no Farthraion, oor philosophy has never seen a century
such as that between Ferikles and Alezandros, those
himdred years of Attic wit and wisdom have given
UB an education in dead languages, and in the lore
and manneiB of two thousand years since, and are
driving otu: native words from off our tongues and
making them strange to our eara
jdovGoOt^lc
The SaxoDB Tbe same victory over future ages which puts into
^^^tin ^^ hands of our chOdren a Yirgilius, a Demosthenes
i«MTiiDg. an Horatius, produced a similar effect upon our fore-
father. When their driving, conquering, advancing
spirit brought them into the island of the Britons
and gave them the Keltic careless tribes for a prey,
they also found it worth their while to inquire what
was this system of Latin science, which raised fertile
crops of wheat for the food of every mouth, built
houses which gave warmth amid the tempest, and
fetched &om foreign distant lands aids and helps
whether to health or to disease ; and they, like our-
selves, became students of Latin and Greek. Something
of course they had learned of southern arts before,
but when they arrived in and became owners of ter-
ritories improved by the southron, they could only
enjoy their new acquisitions fully by understaDding
the method of ordering them.
Lidjgeuoiu The Gothic nations had a knowledge of their own
^Jtonic ^^ ^^^ kinds and powers of worts, tSat is they had
mxt. the more useful practical part of botany ; this is
plainly proved by the great number of native names
of plants which are found in the works now printed,
in glossaries, and in tbe Gothic languages generally.
Their medicine must have consisted partly in the
application of the qualities of these worts to healing
purposes, for otherwise the study was of no real utility.
The osea of hemp and liquorice were first learnt by
the Hellenes, £rom the Sl^hians.' The Saxons evi-
dently were also willing to rely much upon amulets
and incantations, for while these resources are accepted
by the later Greek physicians, they occur much more
frequently as the northern nations obtained a wider
footing in the Boman empire.

nLudh contempt. Bat let us reflect that these play-
tfainga tended to quiet and reaesure the patient, to
oalm his temper, and soothe his nerves ; objects which,
if we are not mismibrmed, the best practitioners of
oar own day willingly obtun by such means as ace
left tbem. Whether a wise physioian will deprive a
bomble patient of his roll of m^c words, or take
from hia neck the &iry stone, I do not know : but
this is certain, that the Christian Church of that early
day, and the medical acuence of the empire by no
means refused, the employment of these arte of healing,
these balms of superstitious origin. The reader may
enjoy his laugh at such devices, bat let him remember
tWt dread of death and wakeful anxiety must be
hushed by some means, for they are very unfriendly
to recovery from disease.
Some part of the prevailing superstition must have Partlj origi-
oome from the Magi, for we find them ordering that Jh^Majti,
the modem feveifiie, the Fy^'ethrwm pa/rthenium, must
be pulled from the ground with the left bond, that
the fevered patients name must be spoken forth, and
that the herbcrist must not look behind him.'
Flinius says also,' that the Magi and the Pytha-
goreans hod many foolish tales about the eryngium,
known in England as sea holly.' That they ordered
the pseudo anohosa to be gathered with the left hand,
the name of him, who was to profit by it to be
uttered, and that it should be tied on a man for
the tertian fever.* They used the By^aofwrif, or
pceony,' for evocation of spirits." They got cures for

The Magi had a special admiration for the mole,
if any one swallowed its heart palpitating and fresh,
he would become at once an expert in divination.'

had tried it. They were the authors of the search

(lymphatus) would recover his senses if sprinkled with
the blood of a mole : and those troubled with nocturnal
spirits and by Fauns would be relieved if smeared
with a dragon's tongue, eyes, gall, and intestines
boiled down in wine and oil' Bulla dung was good
for dropsical men, cows dung for women."
The Magi also taught to drink the si^hes of a piga
pizzle in sweet wine, and so to make water into a
dogs kennel, adding the words " lest he, like a hound,
"should make urine in his own bed."' If a man
in the morning made water a little on hia own foot
it would be a preservative against mala medicamenta,
doses meant to do him harm. For quartan fevers

by tlie Magi before divination. The ysKtoroipvxXit, or
laughter plant, produced fantome and laughter, that
only ceased by driiikiug pine nuts, pepper, and honey
in date wine. They had also an herb for begetting
handsome and good children. A disciple of Demokri-
tos, ApollodoroB, had a wort to make old love, even
what had turned to hate, revive again. All theae had
magic names. Flinius view of the general credit in
wliich the doctrine of the Magi stood, is that it was
of all sciences on the &ce of the globe most fraudulent,
(which, be it observed, is a great deid to say,) and
th.^vt it owed its acceptance to its embracing within
itself the tiirce sciences moat influenti^, among men ;

and the like.' He taught that holding anethum, that
ia dill, in the hand, is good against epilepsy.' Pytha-
goras was the founder of the healing art among the
Hellenic peoples.
Pythagoras tanght that water would &eeze with the
herbs coracesia and calycia, also the flower of the aqui-
folia or hoUy.' Chryappus, that an animal, nobody
knew anything about, the phryganium, was a good
amulet for quartan fevers.* Cato, that a man would
go cotttfortahly to sleep after eating hare ; and says
Flinius, there must he something in the general^ per-
suasion that after hare a man is good looking for
nine days.'
Serapion of Alexandria flourished (B.C. 278) forty
years after the death of Alexander the Great, and was
one of the chie& of the Empiric school, who relied upon
observation and experiment in preference to specula-
tion and thoughtful reasoning; yet he in epilepsy pre-
scribed the warty excrescences on the forelegs of animals,
camels bnun and gall, rennet of seal, dung of crocodile,
heart of hare, blood of turtle, stones of boar, ram, or
cock.
Soranos, an early writer of the methodic school, while
he refused incantations as cures for diseases, testifies
in so doing to their prevalence: — "Alii cantilenas

The practical wisdom of such men as Hippokrates, Thu influence

FlaccuB, had reduced the influence of ma^idans among
cultivated minds to some reasonable limits. The re-
vival of their power has been attributed to the de-
pressing effect of imperial tyranny ; but a larger share
is probably due to the inroad of barbaric minds which
the calm light of knowledge liad not reached.

gery had been brought was high ; and if we don't say
the same of physic, perhaps, we are not very good
judges, having discovered very few specifics of our own.
Our measure of their proficiency will be much safer
in suigery than in pharmacy.
It seems pretty well agreed by competent and careful Rx&mples of
critics that the book on Wounds of the Head is by "^""'*'' '^^
the great Hippokrates, who flourished at Kos during
the Peloponneeian war (fl. 436, died 377^1- He used
a ay-ixpn r^unvov, a small trepan, which implies also
some greater, a rplmv, or aa/w, which had a ^rifi'sSo; or
circular motion, and which is judged by medical men
to be the trypkine, and a irplaay ^upaxros, or jaggeil
saw;, which is held to be the trepan,^ and he gives
anxious directions to the operator, to withdraw the
instrument frequently and cool both it and the bone
witli cold water, and to exercise all vigilance not to
wound the lining membrane. The employment of
splints, yBtp9tixa(' on broken limbs, is not of much mark
here, as we flnd our Saxons could adopt the i-esot;rce.

the outlines of professional etiquette, of the broad Hue
of distinction betveen the physician and sui^;eoQ, and
for its plain statement that cutting for the stone was
then practised.' The process is spoken of as familiar,
tuid its dangers are shortly expressed by Aretteos
(A,D. 81), who observes that men sometimes die the
very day of the operation, which, however, is in-
dispensable.' The same author mentions the relief
afforded to those afflicted with the stone by the
use of the catheter." Philagrios described in bis lost
works Ms own treatment of a case, where the calculus
bad escaped from the bladder and stuck fast in the
ureter, ao that the man, with suppression of urine
and with pain, bad almost gone. The stone had
made its way almost to the orifice of the canaJ, but
with a fine, pair of forceps could not be extracted,
nor yet by gently moving it with a probe. He would
not cut the urethra from below, because that would
certainly end in an artificial and inconvenient urinary
orifice, but he cut down upon it from above.* Celsus,
in the case of a large stone, recommends, as of course,
that it should be crushed by the instrument invented
by Ammonios, the kiinojitj, or surgeon, who gave his
chief attention to this subject, and of course before
his own time (A,D. 15.)' Ammonios is supposed to
have practised at Alexandria.

We find described in the Museo Borhonico * some Surgical in-
surgical instruments of bronze discovered in Hercul&- I^vJ^t*" "^
num and Pompeii. There is the speculum magnum ■
matricis, or ho^rrpiov, witli two branches and a travelling
yoke for them driven by a screw, for ocular ezamina^
tion of the organic state of the matrix ; it served
rather as a dilatator than as a speculum, and has
been superseded by a better instrument, the invention
of Becamier. The careful use of it is described by
FauluB .^gineta,' There is also the speculum ani, or
SltnTTfa, composed of two branches bent at right angles
and opening by pressure on the handles ; this instru-
ment was known as xarozr^^, to the author of the
book on heemorrhoids among the works of Hippokrates.'^
Further has been found a forceps of a curious con-
struction, suited for removing pieces of bone from the
surface of the brain in cases of fractured skull. It
has been specially considered by Prof Benedetto
ViUpes, [1847], who thinks it may also have been
intended to take up an artery. The Greeks, he ob-
serves, as appears by an inscription dug up near Athens,
were able to tie an artery in order to stop htemorrhage,
and words implying bcp much are found in a ti'eatise

tied or affwed up. Near the end of the sixteenth
century a French surgeon was the first to recover the
ligature of tlie artery, and the instrument he used
was very similar (somiglia moltiiisimo) to the forceps
in the Museum at Naples.'
A curious pair of forceps has also been found,
without a parallel among modem surgical mBtnunenta ;
the blades have a half turn, and the grip is toothed
and spooa shaped, when closed. By construction it is
suited for introduction into some internal cavity, and
for holding firm and fast some excrescence there.
Profesaor Vulpes finds it well calculated for dealing
with the excrescences which grow upon the Schaeiderian
membrane covering the nasal bonea, or such ibS come
on the perifery of the anus or the orifice of the female
urethra; especially such as having a large base can-
not be tied.'

The catheter of the (oictents is figured by the same The catheter,

eflects of capillary attraction and to fetch the urine
after it when withdrawn. It is of bronze, and elastic
catheters seem to be of modem invention.

Hooks, hamuli, ayxtrrset, to the number of fourteen,

accompanied in the excavating by a small spoon, suited,
as medical men agree, for examining a small quantity
of the flowing blood. There are also cupping vessels

There exists a tract of twelve pages by Dr. Simpson
of Edinburgh, " On some ancient Qreek medical vases
" for containing Lykion" [1856]. He knows "of four
" ancient vases or drug bottles intended to contain
" this valued eye medicine," " the Auxiof lySixSc of Dios-
" 'koridea." They are severally lettered Auxiov wapa
Moucbi'oo, 'Kpo-xKilov Auxov [for Auxioy], latro'i'Of Avxiav (two).
The drug is the rusot or ruswut of India, an inspissated
extract prepared from the wood or roote of several
species of berberia, as the berberis lycium, aristata, etc.*
It is " most useful in all cases of inflammation of the
" external tunics of the eye." The vases in which
it was found are of very small dimensions, and in
three of them the inteniaJ content is much smaller
than the external promise ; this arose, of course, from
the high price of the drug.
Beside these elaborate contrivances and this skilful
audacity of the Mediterranean peoples, northern medi-
cine shows not to advantage. 3eda, one of our safest
and earliest authorities, gives an account of a leecli,
Qynifrid, or Cyneferth, who, A.I>. 679, opened a tumor
for .^heldryth, queen and abbess, without saving her
Ufe.
The name and office of leeches was familiar to
the people : the Leechbook, or Liber Medicinalis, is in-
tended for the use of a medicus, not of a layman ; and
the frequent expression, "as leeches know how," shows
that they received a professional education.
These leeches then, unable to use the catheter, the
searching knife, the lithotritic hammer, and ignorant
of the a&r sought Indian drugs, were in their early
practice almost wholly thrown heak upon the lancet.

wherewith to let blood, and the " parabilia," the
iii*opiffTa, the aceeaaibles, chiefly worts from the field
and garden. Not only the Engle and Seaxe, the war-
rior inhabitants of our own isl^id, but alao all the racea
of GoUiic invadenn, were too rude to leam much of Ga-
lenos, or of Alexander of Trallee, though they would fain
do so. The writings of MarcelluSj called Empiricus, the
Herbarium of Apuleius, the Btuff current under the
name of SeztuB Placitus, the copious volumes of Con-
stantdnofi Africanus, the writings of St Hildegard of
Bingen, the collections out of Dioskoridee, the smaller
Saxon pieces, are all of one character, substituting for
the case of instruments and Indian drugs, indigenous
herbs, the worts of &therland, smearings, and wizard
chants. Over the whole face of Europe, while the
old Hellenic school survived in Arabia, the next to hand
resource became the established remedy, and the search-
ing indsion of the practised anatomist was replaced
by a droning song.
The triumphant barbarians had no Ptean, no .^Iscula-
pius, no Chiron, far leas an Hippokrates. That they
must have employed herbs before their pouring down
over the south seems indisputable, and leeches are
not only Teutonic in the form of their name, but
are mentioned aa driving a profession in the rudest
ages.

What is now "morbific virns," was with them
" venom ;" epidemics were produced by " flying venom ;"
there was also " red venom," which suggests scarlet fever,
" waAchet venom," " white venom," " livid venom," and

The state of feeling about soroery among these
northern hordes is best gathered from a peruaal of the
elder Edda, which is a world of witchery ; the Gods
themselves were truly described as charm smiths.' We
may perchance wonder at the slavery in which people
were held by the Church, during the earlier ages of
oui- modern period ; at the saying of medicine masses,
at the blessing the worts out of the field, at tlie
placing them upon thu altar ; hut ihe Church had de-
livered men from a worse servitude than this, from
the tyranny and terror of the poisoner and the wizard.
The conscious helplessness of man, when the hand of
God is upon him, must gladly humble itself in the
dust, and lick the dirt in craving mercy. Let the
scornful reader, in good health, not toss his head on
high at the so called superstition of the simpiie Saxon,
but consider rather how audacious an infidel that man,
in those ages, would have seemed, who had refused
to pray in the received manner for the restoration of
his henlth.

1000 A.D., 60 strong was the geaeral acceptance of
magic inflaence, so general was the fashion set in that
direction, that every candidate for the confidence of
the public must fall in with it. Marcellus, otherwise
a worthless author, is useful, as showing both how the
skilful use of surgical instruments had been lost, and
how much more raokly tliis weed of faith in spiritual
influences had spread its growth. The date of this
writer is set at about 380 A.D.
He recommends, to avoid inflamed eyes, " when E;

It will not he out of place to compare here the
statements of Albertus Magnus on the first of the herbs
on which he writes in hia treatise " De Virtutibus
" Eerbarum." It is the hdiotropion. If one gather it
in August and wrap it up in a bay leaf with a wolfs
tooth, no one can speak an angry word to the wearer.
Put under the pillow, it will bring in a viaion before
the eyes of a mui, who has been robbed, the thief
and all hia belongings. If it be set up in a place of
worship, none of the women present who have broken
their marriage contract will be able to quit the place
till it be removed. " This last is tried and most true."
Charms, which act on the mind of the peraon
cliarmed, always have some effect ; in incantations,
commonly a miscbieTOus one. Heame, the traveller in
North America, relates somewhere that being solicited
by an Indian to give him a charm against some
enemy, and convinced of the Iiormless folly of such
sorceries, he complied, and drew on a sheet of paper
some circles, signs, and words. The Indian who re-
ceived this took care that the doomed man should
know it ; he immediately sickened and before long
died. Heame resolved to make no more magic papers.
Sometimes faith produces a visible and useful effect.
A woman who had bad eyes obtained an amulet to
cure them. Hopeful of its efficacy, she refrained from
shedding teara, and her eyes recovered. Bat some
Kealons enemy of sorceries attacked her upon the
wickedness of getting well in this way ; and prevailed
jdovGoOt^lc
OD ber to give him the amulet to examiDe. When
unfolded, the paper showed nothing but these words :
" Der Teufel cratze dir die augen aus, imd scheisee
" dir in die locber," vuiy the devil scratch thine eyes
out, and in the liolea. As soon as the woman
saw how she had been amended she lost faith, took
to tears again, and her eyes became as bad as ever.'
The Catholic Church of the day, unequal to root Maac miied
out these superstitious and rarely beneficial ideas, tried ^i[y_ "*'
to fling B. garb of raligion round them to invoke holy
names to drive out devils by exorcisms.
The Saxon leech therefore, had he been as cool M*gic inecpa-
headed as Hippokrates, as piggish an Epikurean as ^^n^di-
our friend Horatius, must have bowed before the cine,
fashion of the day and bemoaned his patients notions.
Possibly the makers of magic gibberish were as in-
credulous as men now are in its efficacy : but what
mattered that? The leechbook must adapt itself to
its day.
In considering the special forms of popular belief, it Nightnutc.
is well that the Nightmare, in which men still believe,
should come first. Uare in that combination is some-
thing like Genius, Spirit ; it occors in Woodmare,
which was the Saxon name for Echo.' From tlie
accounts we have of the importance attached to its
effects, it may be suspected that something beyond
the symptoms of an uneasy position in sleep, or an
undigested supper, must have been included in the
term. Yet, while we habitually divest our minds of
terror by referring this parozj^sm to imprudence in
eating, it is in itself, while it lasts, an ugly mental
struggle, and much more like an emissaiy from the
Bulfdroua pit, than on angel visiting from heaven.

ever he began to lose bin upright pOBition. In
the Hellenic world the Nightmare, as among our
own forefathers, waa considered as a god or a demigod,
deus or semideus,* for the physician Soranus denies
this popular belief, denies that it deserves a place
among the waflij, possiones, or as men phrase it now,
that it is worthy the attention of a pathologer, but
declares it a mere perturbation of sleep.' This calling
a nocturnal horror by mean names does not dispose of
its alarms. Themieon of Laodikeia, (B.0, 63,) ccdled it
riwyaAiaiy, Throttler, Choker, " siquidem pnefocat segro-
" fcantes."* Others commonly called it the *EipiaXTi]f,
which means, I suppose, as Actuarius and the dic-
tionaries say, the Jumper on ; and doctors tolls ns that
the disorder deserves attention at the very outset ; for
its perpetuation is followed by insanity or epilepsy.
Oribasios calls it a strong disease, and anticipates the
same ill effects, where it comes on every night, dwell-
ing on those cases, where it has its oiigin in the
brain. Some of the most horrible of these visitations
arise from the sympathies of night with mental agony
in tlie day, but our authorities take no notice of these.
To this night demon many passages in the works now
published refer ; not under the exact term Nightmare,
but as " monstrous night visitors," * and perhaps under
the general term, " temptations of the fiend." ' The

following story is from the Heimskringla : " Vanlandi
" hight a son of SvegS, -who took to the kingship
" after him, and mani^d the wealth of the Upealers ;
" he was a mickle man of war, and he fared &r and
" wide about lands. He stayed the winter in Finn-
" land with Snio the Old, and took to wife Iiia
" daughter Drifa. In spring he went away, and Drifa
" was left behind ; and be gave Ms word to come
" again in three winteiB time ; but he came not in ten
" winters. Then Dri& sent after a cunning woman,
" Huld, and sent Visbur, son of herself and Vanlandi,
" to Svithia, the Upsal country. Drifa chaffered with
" Huld, the cunning woman, that she should bewitch
" Vanlandi into Finnland, or in the other case, if that
" went not well, should do him to death. When the
" witchery was wrought, then was Vanlandi at Upsal ;
" then he made him ready to fare to Finnland ; but
" his friends and his redemen bade him not, and
" said there was the hand of a Finn witch in his
" ready getting. Then there come upon him a heavy
" sleepiness, and be laid himself down to slumber.
" When he had slept a littJe, he called and said tliat
" a mare trod him. His men came to him, and would
" help him; bub when they took up bis head, then
" she trod his legs, so that they near broke. When
" they took up his feet, then ahe danced upon hb
" bead ; so that he died." '
A still more frightful account of sncb a demon, and
going beyond these traditions of a Nightmare, yet
not excluded from the notion of hontile visite from a
Dwarf, is found in the deeds of Orendel and his mother,
" Then came from the moor, under a mist screen,
" Orendel, ganging. Gods ire he borej minded the

" chamber, the gold-decked hall, garnished could see,
" with flagODS f&ir. Nor was that the first time, that
" he Hrothgara, homtt liad sought : yet never he in
" old days, early or late, had harder heroes, hall
'' thanes, found. Thus came then to that chamber,
" that champion on, that being doomed, at the door
" he dashed, all iron fast : and when his fingers plied
" it, they flung it wide, it open flew, the room lie
" reached ; and rudely then, on the fair ' spread floor,
" the fiend set foot. Ireful he walked, wrath from
" Ilia eyes, like lightning glared, a gleam of bale.
" Then -viewed he there, of valiant men, not a few
" asleep ; assembled there, a manly band ; then laughed
" his mood; to deal fae minded, ere day should come,
" hatefiil awful one, to each one of them, a deadly
" doom ; then dawned upon him, of feasts a hope ; but
" fate gave not, that more than one, of men that nigbt,
" devour he should. Tlie valiant youth, Beowulf be-
" held, how the demon beast, would' fix Iris gTiwp,
" with grip of hand. Not that the loath one, thought
*' of delay, bat seized he soon, a sleeping man, for
" tnrrt the first, and tore him up ; be broke bis bones,
" his blood he drank, in snips he swallowed him;
" soon he had, of the lifeless form, all made a feast,
" e'en feet and hands; tlien forth he stepped; he Inid
" hand on, the hero chief, at rest in bed ; raught out
" at him," . . . and so on.
To the Trolls of the Edda and to Grendel the light Uwarres in the
of the BUD would be &tal ; they must seize on their ^'
victims during the night. Tliis is not so clear of
Dwarves, nor, of course, could it be true of Mares,
and in the pieces now published we find the dwarves
worrying the sick during the day.

Tlie light liearted Horatius, who believed nothing
but what he could eat and drink, touch and smell,
speaks with fashionable philosophy of the
" Immundo somnia visu." '
The wider observation of tlie medical authors taught
them that this inconvenience grew in some jiatiente
into a disease, and the manner of treating all subjects
belonging to the unknown, which prevailed among
people whose imaginations wei'e as lively as our own,
and whose book learning was less, represented, whether
truly or not, I say nothing, the same thing, as of the
devil. The earliest plain statement is &om St. Augus-
tinuB (3S7-i30 A.D.) : " Et quoniam creberrima fama
" est, multique se expertos, vel ab eis qui expert!
" essent, de quorum fide dubitandum non esset,
" audisse confirmant, Silvanos et Faunos, quos vulgo
" incubos vocant, improbos sispe extitisse mulieribiis,
" et earum appetissc ac peregisse concubitum ; et
" quosdam diemones, quoa Duaioa Galli nuncupant,
" hanc asstdue immunditiam et tentare et efficere;
" plures talesque a^severant, ut hoc negate impudentiss
" videatur; non hinc aliqoid audeo definire, utrum
" aliqui spiritus .... possint etiam hanc pati
" lihidinem, ut . . . senticntibus feminis mis-
" ceantur."*
Women, sensitive to a sense of what Is wrong, and
anxious to do right, were the quicker to complain of
and to give a demons form to these unhallowed visitors.
They were not always trusted ; " Dsemones incnboa

Against these impare demons the Chnrch appointed ^^e ciiurch
Kxoidsts, and that, perhaps, was not the beat method SmSdc?''
of getting rid of the torment ; it is anywise not that
whidi was prescribed by the Hellenic I«t/jo/, and now
hy our own medical men; for to exorcise a demon
affirms his presence, testifies to his dangerous powers,
and does not prevent his return with seven others,
perhaps, worae than himself. If the Exorcist was a
jwtaentable person, and not of the severest iciness of
demeanour, his visits did more hann than good.^ In
the Church the Ezomst ranked after the subdeacon

The carefal Exorcist is bid take note, whether from
a love of iashion and attraction women have not
brought upon themselves this affliction as a punish-
ment from heaven ; in that case they must be admo-
nished to curtail their expenses in dress. " Yideat

extant* That it represents to mnowii^eiv is quite
certain, and as certain that a devil is one of tlie
parties.
So far, these ideas, having something of reality in
them, were widespread and frequent. The Exordst,
called upon sometimes to drive out other devils
beside Chemosh, was a recognised officer in the Church,
and was assigned his due position and dignity. It is
much less common to find a woman pregnant hy such
devilry, and of a pregnant she devil I have never
i-ead. Hence in the passage, Leechbook, I. Ixiii, where
the only known significations of peban are — 1. pro-
creare, gigriere, pa/rere; 2. imtrire, and the second
is inappropriate, wo may understand the former
as applied to the iather. The presence of the ar-
ticle jfone with mannan, in cane a devil procreate
the man, is somewhat irksome, but no cautious critic
will ima^ne a new and unsupported signification on
that account. Qefebeb, Tiati, Beda, p. 565, 29, implies
an active verb jepeban, gignere. We have then in the
Leechbook not only the assertion that a devil luemeS,
that is, tliat a she devil ceopIaS, or that a he devil
pijraS, with mankind, hut even that of this vile con-
junction progeny may come. This is beyond the
ordinary run of opinion. Wier in his curious and un-
reserved work De Pneatigiis, gives an account' of a
monk and a she demon, also' of a priest that had a
succuba, and lie found the ftutli so deeply rooted of
the substantial reality of these ^vwwriat, haamebjnnj,
that he, with much earnestness, and with details about
the Ofi-ny, fitted for a forensic trial, urges matter of
Eoct investigations, which, he hopes with some awk-
ward 16, will disabuse people of the notion that such
demon visits were realities. He mentions^ a birtii

from commerce with a devil, bat this belief evidently
has not dietnibed him, and cannot have much obtained.
In tbe consultation of devils to so bring it about,
that a devil mi^t be &ther of Merlin, it was objected
that any real commerce with woman was impossible,
and that the end could only be obtained in case a
devil should be found who could take the form of
a man ; and that was done. " Li uns dist : ' De ee

One of the torments with wliich witchcraft worried The Knot,
men, was the Knot, by which a man was withheld so
that he could not work his will with a woman. It
was called in the Latin of the times Nodus and
Ohligamentum, and appears in the glossaries, translated
by the Saxons, into lyb, drug, ^pnaxt*, as the evil
effect mi|^t be produced by such means.' The glossary
printed by Somner* has " Spadatus vel enudiizatus,
" behfoob," but read from the Junian copy, which
Somner used, etmndiizatas, and by behfnob imderstand
be-lib-eTn-ob ; so that the s^ise is viade a ev/nv^i,
may be rendered bedrugged; showing that in early
English times it was believed a man'a chastity might
be maintained by the administration of drugs in spite
of his own wishes. To the same effect, from a gl.

poisoning are mentioned in tlie Leecbbook,' and in

An accidental cause producing the name effect is
mentioned in Med. de Quad. is. 13. To make a

Archbishop of Canterbury, in 668. The knot is still
known in France, and Nouer I'aiguillette is a resort
of ill wilL An example of such a knot is found in
the Njalsaga; in the first instance it is spoken of as
arising from some words, which on an imagination
prepared to dwell on them, and a diffident mi^ving
temper, might produce much effect Desire, though
the strongest of passions, finds no home in a heart
already possessed with fear, hatred, jealousy, or any
other great emotion. But in the quotation &om the
poet of that tragic story, the bewitched impotence of
the husband is attributed, as in the Sason glossaries,
to poison.
The adventures of Hrut led him from Iceland to
Norway, where he formed a connexion with Ounnhilld,
mother of King Haralld Grayfell, gi-andson of Haralld
the Fair haired. By and bye Hrut tired of this queenly
bliss, and began to wish to return to Iceland. At the
parting, Hrut said : " Many good gifts have I taken
" of thee." GimnhUld put her hands round his neck
and kissed him and ssid : " If I have as much power
" upon thee as 1 ettle, then lay I that upon thee, that
" thou may never come at bliss with the woman
" whom thou ettlest there in Iceland ; but thou shalt
" well frame thy will with other women. And now
" neither of us lioldeth to the connexion between us.

too obscure to convey ber meaning to her &tber.

Unna believed Hrut bad poison in his veins; but
the spell of Guunhilld might poiaou his imagination,
as the tale itself seems to represent.
Traces of this philosophy, for it ia more physiology Knots in T^iin

uses the plain phrases " ne impediantur ab ojjere con-

The processes in use for these miscliievous purposes
were of course secret, both as valuable pcssessions and
as dangerous evidence againat tlie doctor ; and either
as actual poisons or as ridiculous trash. But a few
specimens are on record. " Si quern coire noles fierique

their tongues about it. In the warning against ^vitclv-

remedy for love caused by magic words.

" they hit So they have destroyed every man ■who
" came into the neighbourhood: and if they' become
" wroth, the earth turns upside down at the sight of
" them, and if anything quick oomes within view of
" them, it &lls down dead. Now therefore none must
" come in their way; I must hide you here in the
" hut, you must try if we can kill them.' They
" agreed to that. Then she hid them ; she took a
" linen sack, and th^ thought there were ashes in it ;
" she took that in her hand and sowed with them
" about the hut, within and without. A little afler
" came the Finns home ; they speered what waa come
" there; she said that nothing was come tJiere. To
" the Finns that seemed wonderful, for they had
" traced a spoor all the way to the hut, and beyond
" found they none. Then they prepared their fire
" and got some meat, and when they wei'e satisfied,
" then GunnhiUd made ready her bed. There bad by
" this time passed three nights, that Qunnhilld had
" slept, and each of them had kept awake over against
" the other, for they mistrusted one another. Then
" said she to the Finns ; ' Come now hither and lie
" by the side of me each of you.' They heard this
" gladly and so did : she put her hands round the
" neck of each of them ; they went to sleep imme-
" diately, but she waked them ; and instantly they
" went to sleep again, and so fast, that she could
" hardly wake them, and then they slept again, and
" now she could not wake them at all ; she set them up,
" yet still they slept. Then she took two mickle seal
" skins and turned them over their heads and bound
" them down stark and strong over their hands. Then
" she gave a nod to the kings men ; they leapt forth,
" they bore weapons against the Finns, and despatched
" them and dragged them out of the hut. The night

" T<5ti } Erik said, that he wished to take his daugh-

" yeoman, who lived in a firth in Helgeland, which
" hight S^Jiti, where is an island hight Qo^y. Bau^S

' weather within the firth, but outside there was a

' sailed north to Avmd, and all the folk there under-
' went christening. Afterwards he bent his course
' southwards again. And when he came from the
' north to S^fti there was a tempest and a driving
' sea out of the firth. The king lay there for some
' nights and the weather was the same. Then the
' king spoke witli bishop SigurS, and speered, if he

and Lupus, bishops of Auxerre and Troyes, when sent
fay a church synod to Britain, were encountered by
an " inimiea vis dtemonum," a hostile lot of daonons,
who raise storms and turn day into night, driving tlie
bishops vessel from its course, and flinging the billows
over it Lupus calls up Gennanus, who felt somewhat
disordered by this tossing, and with the name of the
Trinity and some drops of water the tempest is stilled. "

It is related ia the Herbarium, in an article on the
Castor oil plant (clxxvi,), where the name of the plant
is taken probably from Dioskoridea, and the receipt
is due to the prorerbial " stupiditas Saxonum," that
that wort amootheth every tempest. The same is
delivered of the aglaofbtis (art. clxxi,).
Herbs generally afforded the Saxons their materials Suon ci
for healing all bodily infirmities: but they drew some-
times from animals. Our own medicines oi-e very
largely taken from what we call the vegetable king-
dom; but their composition is concealed from iJio
patient by the mysterieB of preBcripUons and of foreign
names. A sick man thinks himsdf eRectually tended,
if he chance to make out that his doses contain
Taraxacum, Belladonna, Aconite, Hyoecyamus, or
Ameca, or if he be refreshed with Ammonia; but he
smiles contemptuously at the herb woman who ad-
ministers dent de lion, nightshade, wol&bane, henbane,
elecampane, or who bums horn in the sick chamber.
Perhaps herbs are more really effectual than we shall
easOy believe. The locksman at Teddington told me
that he had broken the bone of his little finger, and
for two months it was grinding and gruncl^ng, so
that he felt sometimes quite wrong in himself. One
day he saw Dr. go by ; and told liim ; he
said, you see there that comfrey, take a piece of tlie
root of it, and cbam it, and put it to your finger, and
wr^ it up. The man did so, and in four days his
finger was welL This story struck me the more since
comfrey is the con/irma of the middle ages, and the
aufifuTov of the Greeks, both which names seem to
attiibate to the plant the same consolidating virtue.
Besides the instances in the medical treatises which
survive, and which are the less characteristic as they
are borrowed, we find the healing power of worts
spoken of as a thing of course. Thus, " Nis no wurt
" woxen on woode ne on felde )>er euure mage pe lif
jdovGoOt^lc
liv PBEFACE.
" uphelden."' No wort is waaen in wood or vn fidd
which for ever may mama life uphold. In the Liber
ScintiUarum, unpublished, the word^ Sicut uenenata
animalia fortiores herbsti uel pigmenta expellunt, are
tranBlated, Spa fpa jetetrpube nycenu fcpen^an pypta
oi5i5e pjpt jemanju uc anybaB;" as the stronger -worta
or wort miaAwrea drive aivay poiaonoua OAiimala,
where it was Dot necessary to consider pigmenta a&
made of herbs. Absurd remedies are not infrequent;
besides those in tiiis volume, we find shrifts for
burning com " on the place where a dead man was,
" for the healing of the living ;" for a woman " if she
" swallows of her husbands blood by way of a leech-
" dom ;" " if she set her daughter over a house or in
" an oven, for the purpose of curing her of fever."'
Some, for a babys recovery, would creep through a
hole in the ground, and stop it up behind them with
thorns ; some to secure health would fiist " in honour
" of the moon ;" * some would treat a sick child by
witchcraft, or pull it through some earth at the cross-
ways."
Saxon boiiny. ^6 botany of the Angles and Saxons here printed
is not free from errors. How oould it be expected ?
One fourth, they say, of the plants mentioned by
Dioskorides, has not yet, in 1 863, been truly identified.
Even our own botanists are often scientifically at issue
with one another, and are certainly historically wrong
in setting upon the bilberry family of plants tlie name
vaccinium, which, as was clearly shown, more than a
hundred years ago, by John Martyn, professor of botany

some better equivalent^ water elder, which it is not.
What Latin dictionary, now that the world is much
improved, will give any information on the subject,
I have not ascertained; the beet I know givee none.
Yet I cannot doubt the tree is the 'Orrputc, Ourputj
of Theo&aatoB, the Ostrya of modem botany. It is
figured in Beichenbach, Flora Qermanica, vol xii, plate
635. In art. xxv,, ;^Mfut(JXaia, the Dafne mezereon,
is mistaken for y^sciutiKimv, a stalkleas thistle, and trans-
lated wolfs comb, which is a thistle, but stalked. The
error in xcvii may perhaps be a mere sUp, from in-
attention. In art c., hedera nigra is very far from
earth ivy. Tribtilus (cxlii.) is not goree; Strychnus
(cxiiv.) is not foxglove ; ^an^imy^oi (cxlviii.) is not elder,
Samirueua; Capparis (clxzii) is not woodbind; Inni-
perus is not gorse. (Leechbook, I. xxz. S.) Among
these mistranslations that which produced most im-
pression on myself was the confusion of the Idymele,
which all its Teutonic affinities make oilt to be the
hop plant, with the poisonous Bryony. All doubt
whether our lexicographical concliision is correct has
been removed by the author of the Saxon book
himself, for he says of his own motion, not quoting
the Latin text, but adding to it of his own judg-
ment, "this wort is so excellent that it is mingled
" in ordinary drinks," that is, in beer. The bryonia

berries. Our writer, therefore, who has coofonnded the
two, IB not to be regarded as infallible. His error may
be Been shared by Lovell in his Herball as late aa 1659.
It is perhaps due to Flinitis, who, at the commence*
ment of his 23rd book, has spoken without cdeamess.
Dioskorides, when he speaks of the white and black
bryony ' as liaving a irnit clustered as in the gr^pe,
certainly could not well mean the hop, which does not
make one think of grapes at all.
The aw^l halo of in&Jlibility being once removed
from tlie translators portrait, we are ready to question
some other assertions of his ; thus, Atterlothe (ilv.),
to which the most capital qualities are attributed,
cannot be the cocks foot grass ; nor can Smearwort
(zx.), which to those acquainted with the early
Teutonic languages tella a greasy buttery tale, be any
Aristolochia, but must be Butterwort, PinguicttUt.
It is, however, too exacting to require of a Saxon
nine hundred years ^o a &ithfdl Tersion of foreign
names of plants. It cannot be given now in the latter
half of the nineteenth centuiy. The latest authorities
do not agree.
In Gonadering the composition of the Leechbook, the
inquiry, how far the Saxons were able to draw from
the weUs of Hellenic literature will come before us
in an urgent form. The author of that work takes a
page at a time out of Alexander of Tralles, Paullus
of .^gina, and Fhilagrioa. It wiU be much more con-
venient to state the particular facts when we have
the Saxon text in its integrity before us. In the
meantime It is desirable to furnish some materials for

" scheme," can be said to team Greek, though the words
do not come in the proper alphabet And in some
sense our ordinary schohtrs may be said never to have
seen a Qreek book, since our Hellenic autbors are
scfu-cely ever printed in the true alphabet, but in an
imitation of an Alexandrine or Byzantine cursive cha-
racter, which neither Plato nor AriHtophanes could
have read to save his neck. These considerations forbid
our lashing out in liasty declarations that unless proof
can be produced tliat the Saxons read Greek in the
Greek character, th^ cannot well be said to have
read it all. Let as consent to suppose a Greek word
written in the common English way, and duly under-
stood by its English equivalent, to be a step towards
a knowledge of the Qreek language, and we shall find
that, as proved by the extant ^ossaries, which cite
Greek words by hundreds, the Saxona had taken very
many steps, degrees, in knowledge of that sort. Some-
times a Qreek word is marked as such by the letter G.
Not rarely we find Hebrew words also interpreted.
The Colloquium, now well known, was intended as The Collo'

to test him, in some of the less ea^ words occuring

proved by the words of JE]Mc Bata, who adds to a

The piece which I print next is called the Lorica;
of its existeoce in the Cambridge manuscript, I was
first informed by Mr. Bradshaw, who has more than
once freely discussed the subject, with the aids to the
interpretation of it, for my information. It is with
Mr. Bradshaws consent, and by help of books lent me
by him, that I now print and annotate. The Harleian
copy came in my way while engaged upon the Leech-
doms. The Latin part has been printed in Germany
by Mono ; also by Daniel, with two conjectural and
wholly mistaken interpretations ; with glosses from an

PAEFACE. Ixvii
Irish MS. by Mr, Whitley Stokes, who has had tho
assistance of Dr. Wright in making out, to a good ex-
tent, the Syriac or Hebrew words disguised in it The
mere presence of two glossed copies now first printed
will dear up some difficulties, and one or two words
I may perhaps myself have rightly guessed. The Irish
HS. of the Latin text declares the composition to be
written in hendekasyllahic verse; but lest a purer
classical taste should suppose that by this term the
" heudecasyllabi," or Fhahekians of Catullus have
been emulated, the opening lines arranged with due
regularity may be taken as a specimen of the rest.
It will be seen that they are scanned by the accents.
Soffrogare, qaiBBO, michi posBito
Magoi maris uelut in periculo,
TTt non secum trahat me mortalitas
HuiuB onni neqne mnnili uanitas.
etc.
The Irish MS., " in the opinion of Dr. Todd pro-
" duced in the latter part of the fourteenth century,"
tells OS also, that " Oillas hauc loricam fecit," and
" Laidcend mac Bfiith Bannaig uenit sb eo in insolam
" Hibemiam : transtulit et portauit super attare sancti
" Patricii episcopi sanos nos &cere, amen." The Latin
text of the Cambridge MS. is of the eighth century ;
it was not intended to be gloBsed; the glosses were
introduced afterwards in a small hand ; * the earher
ones marked with an asterisk belong to the end of
the tenth century, the others to the eleventh Its
readings agree closely with those printed by Mone ;
errors and alL By one or two mistakes in the glosses
of MS. C. it seems probable that they wa» a tran-
script, and as the newer are sometimes written above
the wrong words, the same may be concluded of them

These pieces will prove that the Saxons, in their Learning of
way, tried to leam languages. Our
fashion ia of recent invention : persons now living
received the first elements of Latin from Corderius;
and the whole colour of training is necessarily different
for those, who are to use a language colloquially, and
those who must imitate Ovidius, Yirgilins, Horatius,
in the several branches in which they excelled. He-
brew and Syriac are still exceptional studies.
Of the manuscript from which the text of the Her- MS. V.
barium and Medicina de Quadrupedibus haa been
taken, BibL Cotton, YitelliuB C. iii.,' the reader has a
specimen in the fac-simile. Opinions, gathered from
those most experienced, agree tiiat it dates as a copy
from about 1050 A.D. For myself, I only venture to
believe that it was written out not earlier than A.D.
1000, nor later than the Conquest, 1066 A.D. It has
been chosen as the ground work of this edition, be-
cause it is illustrated by drawings in colours of the
plants, an advantage which none of the other old
Englisli, ot so called Anglo-Saxon, copies possessed.
While uninjured it must have been a regally magni-
ficent book, executed at im enormous expense. It
sufiered from the fire at Ashbumham Hoose, 1731,
and, like the rest of the MSS., was tslcen out of the
ashes a shrivelled blackened lump of leaves. Kecently
it haa been rebound. The binder first soaked the
ruins in water, to make them limp ; he then flattened
them, and for this purpose was obliged often to cut
through the edges, and to stretch them by pins,

widening all the flaws ; stout pieces of cardboard were
then prepared as a frame to carry the leaves, wliidi
were flzed into these paper fmmes by ligaments of
goldbeaters skin. Thus once more the burnt leaves
became a volome. The binder had probably some
superintendence in his task, for aa long as the Latin
text of Apuleius afforded its guidance the folios were
rightly numbered, but beyond that they have been
frequently misplaced. It is possible tliat on the pub-
lication of this work, the binder may be directed to
rearrange the folios, in which case the references to
the drawings printed in the text will no longer cor-
respond with the numbers in the MS. Besides the
serious mischief from the fire, i^e pages had also
suffered from the paintings placed upon them. The
green pigment used, probably sulphate of cupper, has
eaten sway the vellum upon which it was laid, so
that not only the drawings so &r have perished, but
also the writing at the back has gona Thus this
manuscript, taken by itself, had become in many
places illegible ; yet, when a parallel text was laid by
the side of it, the broken lines and half surviving
words were again significant, and it was possible to
print nearly all the letters of the book from the
richest and most beautiiul copy.
^ In editing an ancient work, the rule is now i-ecog-
nized, which due consideration has suggested ; to print
from the best MS. and supply its defects, if any, from
the next best. The three best HSS. conspire in
making the extravagant slip in Herbarium, art Ixxi.,
and the fourth is not taken into account. But in the
orthography of old English words, a certain method
has prevailed, and the mode of .£l&ic^ it may be, has
been followed in modem grammars and by modem
editors, no objection to snch a course, as of a choice,
being now taken ; yet this customary spelling has
also been called " pure Saxon," and otiier methods

have been damaed ns dialects, to both of which judg-
ments I take leave to lodge an appeal, whicli shall be
pleaded to on some future occasion. It so happens,
however, that the spelling of MS. V. is nearer to the
customoiy manner than that of MS. B., so that no
discusBion need ariae out of the choice of a base for
printiog. The fainter strokes of the reed in this
wasted MS. ore scarcely visible : the accents oflen are
vanighing ; and only the visit of a aimbeam revealed to
me, that what has beea printed on page 216,' as
rreenihcum, waa really written fctenihrum. The letters
a and u are scarcely distinguishable in the handwriting
of this MS.
MS. V. in its pristine beauty had two large paint- Onumeatai
ings each filling a page. The first contains a tall JJ^*^' "'
figure standing on a lion, habited in loose tunic or
amice, chasuble and stole ; * to ^ appearance an eccle-
^astic of rank, holding in the right hand a crozier, the
smalt cross bar of which is, ihongh not easily, dis-
cerned ; it rests ou the ground, and the lion has seized
it in his jaws. In the left' tliis toll personage holds a
heavy book. The draperies according to Saxon custom
seem caught by a gust of wind. Over him waves a
baldachin or canopied curttuns. On his left approaches
reverentially a tonsured priest presenting a volume
On his right a soldier, with a full sized shield, looks
up for orders. The purport of this painting is scarcely
conveyed by the design itself: it seems, however, to
represent the church dignitary for whom the work was
copied ; the stole marking a churchman : though some
hesitation is produced by the presence of a soldier
with a Roman air. This painting was meant for this
book, since the border matches that which backs the
tiUe.

The secon^ large paiatiag is explained by the in-

Centaur ChiroDj and Flabo. jEsculapius is a tall beard-
less figure, the Centaur is a Hippocentaur with bald
head, and Plato has right shotilder bare. AU three
grasp a large Tolnme in plain binding, with a broad
tie round the middle, as if the two, the Centaur uid
Plato, were each at once receiving it &om .^aculapius.
The foreground is infested with snakes ; the badc-
gronnd is fiill of animals, of which the boar, wolf,
hare, roebuck, bear, and dog are still distiDguishable,
On the other side of the leaf a broad ornamental

' The owners of MS. V. I have been uuable to trace
to any good purpose. No information is derivable from
Sir Robert Cottons private catalogue in manuscript,
which I have inspected. On the middle of fol. 7^ a,
between lines is written "Bicherd HoUond this boke,"
for "his boke," in a hand of the fifteenth century.
There was a Richard Holland, brother of John, re-
stored Earl of Huntingdon 1417, created Duke of
Exeter 1442, died 1447, which Biciiard was Admiral
of England, uid died 1404. Whether he were owner
of the MS. I shall not pretend to decide : bat I know
of no other so likely. On the fece of an early folio is
written " elizabeth colmore," in a text hand, perhaps
of the age of Sir Robert Cotton. Among the books in
the old library of (the Cathedral) Christ Church, Can-
terbury, mentioned by Wanley in his preface, occurs
" HerbariuB Anglice, depictus," and as this answers to
the description of MS. V,, Wanley has concluded it
is perhaps the same copy. The Hollands derived their
importance frY)m a marriage with the Fair Maid of
Kent, descended from Edmund Plantagenet of Wood-
stock (bom 1301, Aug. 5, beheaded 19 Marchl^JO),
son of Edward I., by his second wife Margaret of
France ; whence the Earldom of Kent came into the

Holland &mily, and they would be within reach of a
few books firom Canberbuiy. Those who like dove-
tuliog may be content to splice together the probable
date of tbe MS. (1040—1050), Canterboiy, and the
archiepiaoop&te of Eadsige (1038 — 1050) ; but such
calcalatioQS hare in them much uncertainty.
The drawings may oaoe have been likenesses of the The dnvings
plants; in some cases we see thart the pencdls employed <^'^pi™*»'
were capable of the work ; thus betonica, arum dra-
cunculus, an orchis or satyrion, gaHum aparine, ery-
thnea centam^um, achillea millefoUum, lihnm, atropa
tnandragoras, licinus communis, suggest to the eyes the
plant intended by the artist, and with the exception
of galium aparine, that aJso mentioned in the authors
text. Bat it often happened, that when a pattern to
be fiuthfully repeated was placed in the hands of the
limner, he regarded it with too artistio an eye and
coiuidaed how he could improve it. The fac-simile gives
QB Uie drawing which in MS. Y. stands for saxifraga gra-
nulata. This plant throws out, adhering to its roots,
many small bulbs of tiie form and colour of onions,
but not bigger than the heads of large pins ; remove
all colour &om the picture, and you will see that the
outline represented these characteristics of the plant ; an
oval piece of turf suggested that the part under earths
sor&ce was delineated, and then the roots and granules
were seen below it. The artist knowing nothing about
this, amended, as clever fellows are always doing, his
original ; heightened the colour of the mider side of the
Int of Bturfiuie, and seeing no leaves, rounded and made
green the granules, so as to do the duty of leaves. In
many other cases Some such improvements were intro-
duced; thus the fiowera of chamomile have had their
white rays and yellow discs coloured alike blue. In other
cane the botanical system current in the earlier cen^
turiee of the Christian era was the cause of our discon-
tent ; for in those days, the plan of relying principally

upon the parts of fructification for the identification of
a plant had not come into vogue, and tlie illustrators
were content to give us some specimen, however de-
ficient in the distinctive marks. Hence proliably, Os-
triago, 'OffT^ua, a tree native to the countries on the
Mediterranean, is explained by Lifiwort, which is the
Water Elder, opposite leaves being found in both.
Erifin, an herb now unknown, is also translated Iii6-
wort, and the drawing is like the former. When the
plnnt itself presented a very complex task to the
ptunter, he contented himself with indicatiog the
character, as in yarrow, rosemary, and carot. In maDy
cases the stems are made rigid and erect, instead of
pliant and trailing, as in dnqfoil and potentilla. In
many cases no one can at sight recognize the plant
intended, even buttercup, horsetail, manh mallow, which
may once have been a tree maUow, the botanical hibis-
cus, could not be known by the drawing. Nor could
cress, strawberry, hop, celandine, clover, hemp, and so on.
yienna US. of At Vienna exists an illustrated manuscript of Dios-
DioikorldM. korides, from which, in Jocquins time, woodcuts were
made, and from these one set of more than four
bundred plates was sent to Sibthorp, and is now in
tlie library of the Botanic Garden, Oxford. This set,
by the courtesy of Dr. Daubeny, I have examined.
Another set of only one hundred and forty-two plates
was sent to Linneeus, and is now in possession of the
Linnsean Society ; by the kindness of Professor Bell, I
have hod an opportunity of inspecUng this copy.
Though less extended than that at Oxford, it is more
valuable, as far as it goes, by containing notes in ink
by Jacquin, and others in pencil by Sir J. E. Smith;
Jacquiji describes the colours, which are, of course,
wanting in prints, and Sir J. E. Smith endeavours to
determine the plaate. The botanical world was for a
long while in great agitation about the names in
IMoshorides, and these drawings were expected to be

of great asaifilauce : controversies t&ged, ftnd folios
were published, till at lenf^tli the stru^les of the
learned " terminated only by despair of suocesB." ^
It was by no means in hope that I shonld add to
bottmic&l knowledge that I paid a visit to Oxford
specially to see these plates, but &om a desire to
elicit, if I could, from a comparison of the Saxon
drawings in the Herbaiium, from art cxxxiv. to the
end, with those from the Vienna manuscript, some
solution of the difficulties of the sabject. If the
Siixon artist bad altered a little here and a little
there, some light would be thrown on the matter.
The Vienna Greek copy might be even the original,
or if not so, very near to the original of the English.
But though in many cases the Vienna copy gives
faithful drawings of the plants, as in aedum, arboreum,
which is spoiled in the English figure (art, cxlvii.),
yet there was no such similarity between the drawings
as to lead to any useful result. Dr. Daubeny gave
me a small book of his own publishing, running to
fleventeen pages, in which he has assigned modern
scientific equivalents to the old Hellenic appellations
of Dioskorides. On the fece of it this book treats
rather of the figures than of the written text; yet, of
couise, the words of the author were always kept in
view. The Professor, then, " characterizes the drawings
" of the plants in the Vienna MS." often as " fictitious,"
often as having " aUght resemblance," as " doubtfiil,"
" bad," " very rude," " indifferent," and all tiiis in a
treatise where the conclusions were drawn in a good
measure from the drawings. Anxious to leam more
about Brittanike, the Vienna MS. gave me a drawing,
showing the flowering stems of Lyfhrwm eaiicarUt,
with leaves which must belong to a monocotyledonous
plant. Little, therefore, was to be gained from the

Viernia Tepres^Ltations. The lat«8fc authorities are
not agreed upon many questions relating to that old
anthor. These drawings of the Vienna MS. were, it
is said, derived from another, which was sometimes
called the Neapolitan MS.* Frofeseor Jacquin, writing
on the copy of Amaracus thos made, utters the same
language as that employed above, and says, " pictor
" ^ti suae et genio nimium indulsit." He complains
also of inaccurate drawing of umbelli&rous plants,
" umbellarum configuratio Talde rndis in omnibus um-
" belliferis." *
The Saxon drawings of the snakes axe lanctfol :
" there never were such snakes," I have been assured
by one of the best naturalists in England.
. An illustrated copy of the Latin Apuleius,' which as
of ihe twelfth century, has sometimes been here men-
tioned as MS. T., haa been collated for assistance in
determining plants. It has a few EInglish glosses, and
some of its figui-es like MS. V. Under Ocimum* ate
added the following words : " Herba Ocymum te r<^o

US. B. Of the Saxon text, MS. E, a Bodleian manuscript,*
is a veiy handsomely written folio, twelve inches toll,
ei^t broad, in doable columns, the letters clear and
sharply marked, with, vacant spaces intended for draw-
ings of the plants and snakes, but never filled in.
The Herbariom and Medicina de Quadnipedibus ran
from folio 68 to 130. Two folios have been cut out,
as noticed here in the various readings on pages 298,
366. Competent judges make MS. B. of the same age
nearly as MS. Y. That they are frx)m one origin is
dear by their community of error, as in the omission
of the heading Artemisia t^antes, and what occurs
at art. Izxi. A few titles and numbers in K are by
a later hand, which has sometimes scratched through
the earlier rubricated numbers; this hand may be re-
ferred to the twelfth centuiy. Both Y. and B. leave
blanks for English names where the author was at
a loss.
US. H. MS. H.* was never intended for display, but for
use ; it ]\aa no drawings, nor was meant to have
any; it omits the phrases prepared for the insertion
of English names, is not so correctly copied, and may
be dated a little later than MSS. Y. and B.
WS. a • MS. O. is a mean manuscript written upon shreds

into alphabetical order. The language shows signs of
change; examples of it may be found on page 102,
foot, page 132, foot. The collation of this MS. was
not carried through, it was not desirable. For the
history of our language it may some day be required
jdovGoOt^lc
PBEFACE. IxXXT
that the whole should be printed for comparison with
OUT earlier text. Since our text was printed this
MS. haa recovered eight leaves, which had found their
way into the Cottonian collection, and into the fire
of 1731 ; it has been rebound, and of course folioed
afresh.
The interpretation of the English names of plants PrinciplM
rests on the same basis generally as the render- Stemming
ing of any other obsolete words. But lest my duty wb«t pi*"**
should be misapprehended, it is necessary to call the ^^"^
Tieaders attention to the true state of the question.
Hitiierto men have been content with what is found
in dictionaries, and the dictionaries do nothing but '
quote for autiiorities such a book as this Herbarium,
or some glossaries. The interpretation, therefore, is
sometimes probably false from the errors of such books,
and sometimes contradictory, as glossaries disagreed.
On discovering that the poisonous bryony, with its
clusters of berries, is confused with the " humble,"
with its hop catkins and wholesome juices, it was
impossible any longer blindly to follow the author
before us. To ascertain, therefore, the signification of
any obscure English word, it was by no means proper
to accept the Greek or Latin equivalent fixed on in the
Herbarium, or elsewhere, and to find out what plant
was intended by such a word. Thus, if the Herbarium
sets down hvErpypt as Ostrit^, and Ostriago proves,
probably, to be 'OTrpua, a tree not known here, while
at the same time Li&pypc is Dwarf Elder, by much
concurrent testimony, the conclusion must be that our
author was probably wrong in his identification. In
glossaries, and, I doubt, to some extent here, the
authors aim was to convey as nearly as possible the
sense of the foreign word to English eius; liis traua-
lation was, thei-efore, o^n only an approximation.
Li&pyjic for Ostriago, and for Erifiu, may be excused
on this ground. For Populttti alba, Abele seems, at least,

not Latin, not " Albella," whether connected with the
Polish bialy, white, or no ; the Populus tremvla was
the M^x> ^ aapen, and in some glossaries is very
reasonably called the Cpicbeam, guidihea/m, as always
alive : the Popviua nigra is commonly now called the
Italia/n poplar, and though admitted by our men of
science for indigenous is perhaps an importation. In
. the face of those native names it seems eztraordinary
to £nd the glossaries interpreting Fopulus by byjic,
birch, at the same time as Betulus, Hreh. Whatever
he the solution, I cannot accept from a glossator the
teaching that Fopultts is birch. Perhaps by an emen-
dation we may recover another native name. In GL R,,
p. 45, we have Sf^inus, hpic hsBj^L Only one kind of
Corylus is known in England ; I propose .^girus,
A'ytipoc, for the white hazel. Sometimes the glossator
did not at all know his plant under a foreign name,
which must be excused by all who are not mere novices.
Sometimes the inattention of editors misrepresents the
old writer. In GL R, p. 47, is written,
Cedrus, cebep beam.
Cedria, hilTsep, [that is hif fiep, tJie eap of it\
The editors never made this out; yet " Hisssepe Cedria"
should not have found its way into any dictionary.
No interpretation of a significant name can be
.satisfactory unless the meaning well befits the plant.
Smearwort, as mentioned above, must be a greasy
plant, such as is Butterwort. Quickbeam has no sense
whatever when applied to the Rowan tree, though
the name be well rooted in our language ; and it per-
haps belonged originally to the Aspen, as some glossaries
give it Gl. R, p. 47, has —

When the Herbarium and the glossaries proved not
always trustworthy, it was neceraary not to rely on
them too confidently. The drawings are of no gi-eat
use. Tradition and the consent of Englishmen are
moat valuable, but require to be accepted with vigi-
lance : and to ascertain them it has been my task to
examine all accessible glossaries ; which are very
nomeroas. Those which I have foimd of most im-
portance are an unpublished gL of two thousand en-

From tiiis glossary it may be concluded that the
Herbarium was not the first attempt to fix the sense
of the Latin names of trees and plants, since in this
work and in the later glosaaries acme errors of tiie
older one, such as *' cucumis popBej," " ajibucus sespe,"
" edepa uudupinde," have been omitted.
The Herbarium consists of two parts, a translation
from the work intituled Herbarium Apuleii, with a
few extra paragraphs ; and a continuation, chiefly from
Dioskorides. Ackerman and Sprengel, who have written
on the histoiy of medicine, and Sillig, who in his edition
of Pliuius ' has printed a short fragment of Apuleius,
are of opinion that Apuleius never wrote the book.
Saumaise' thought he did. Sprengel is angry at the
book as unphiloaophical, but it is better, it is prac-
tical It« translation into English shows its popularity,
and amid the scardty of old English manuscripts, four
copies still exist of this work, and three glossaries
show themselves indebted to it. Nothing is less per-
manent than science. The English translation is now
published, doubtless as giving us better knowledge

PREFACE. Ixxxix:
thooglit in medicine, and for a record of the older
part of our iangua^ That the portion of the Saxon
Herbarium, which is ori^nally from Dioakoridea, had
a I^tin text for its original, seems certain. TIte name
Spreritis, Herbar. cxxxviiL, is not in Dioskorides. But
in a Latin MS. of Trin, ColL, Cambridge,* of late date,
containing extracts from Dioskorides, it is found with
the followijig description: " Habet folia minuta lanu-
" ginosa ex una radice ; multos ramos emittit per
" terram fosoe, florem crocenm, bofitahno' aimilem,
" odorem murteum (so) si digitia conteratur." Tliese
ate the very words of our Saxon text. Zamalentitioii
is also to be found in the Trin. MS. It is therefore to
be concluded that the translator did not draw direct
from the Botanist of Anazarba. It is, however, to his
credit that he drew from him at all. He was not
quite imphilosophical after aU.
The Trinity MS., immediately after the last entry
firom Apuleius, indicates ainnetbing of its own origin
in these words : " Incipit liber medicinae diafcoridis
" ex hebreomm foedif" If the Saxon additions to
Dioskorides and this manuscript came from a com-
mon source, we should be here taught that the Qreek
had filtered through a Hebrew text. But it is quite
impossible that the names of the plants could retain
their original form after being expressed by Hebrew
characters.
No one knows anything about Sextus Placitus nor Seiijw
why he should be called Flatonicus or Papyriensis. ***
Perhaps he is a nominis umbra, a phantom name, a
nediffival bit of fim. Idpartus king of Egypt, a co-
temporary of Augustus, must be a creature of imagi-
natdon, a stalking horse for a bookmaker. The old
English piece of the eleventh century on the Marvels
jdovGoOt^lc
of (he East, printed in Narratinnciilte, has a parallel in
a Latin piece on the same subject by " King Premo."'
And if the small wit invented Idpartus, why not also
Sextos Placitus 7 The Latin of this Quadrupedal Me-
didne, aa printed, does not oontain as much as our
tezt ; ' and it may be found, besides its other editions,
among the leaves of the " Artis Medicse Principes."
The Bodleian copy, MS. B., has bound up with it two
letters of Euax, king of tiie Arabs, to Tiberius Cmaax,
on the virtues of stones. AVhether Eujot ever existed
shall be for men more at leisure to inquire.'
i The text has been printed in the form, as regards
'' the shape of the characters, which they take in tiie
original H8S. Besides the objection to printing in
the character of our own day, which arises in the
heart of every man who dislikes to dress up antiquity
in modem clothes, there is one which is not senti-
mental at all; by a change so levelling we lose all
the chronological characteristics of a manuscript arising
from the form of the letters. The age of an English
manuscript may be determined to half a century, for
the most part, by the shape of p, f, j, g, p, r, a, f , ( f,
y, f. Print all these alike, and you, as &r as in yon
lies, shut out from your readers the information con-
tained in those forms. The letter j> is a mark of an
early English manoBcript, of one belonging probably
to the ninth or tenth century. It may be seen in
the &c-aimiles of tiie Lauderdale Orosius, of the Codex
Exoniensis, of the O.C.C. copy of the Chronicle. It
occurs frequently in the Leechbook, but not in the
copy of a lost chapter, which we shall restore to its
proper place ; not because the text, bnt because the

book.
It appears by the inscription on Alfreds jewel to
have . been known tinder the form ^, whete I re-
cognize an Hypsilon T ; it is, however, found in a
manuscript of Al&eds time, as yet nnpnblished, in
the ccmunon form j=. It does not occur at aU in the
MS, of CEodmoa, which ie written throughout with y

Csedmon, if Cwdmoa (for Pseudo-Ctedmon is a strong
assertion), that piece on the Harrowing of Hell, which
is bound up in the same volume, but written in a
much dofier hand, with about forty eight, instead of
thirty nine letters in a line; this has f dotted. The
letter ji does not occur in the Herbarium in any of
the MSS.
Experts in MSS. have finer and more delicate tr&ite
by which they distinguish the age of copies ; they are
so minute that a traced fao-simile will scarcely re-
produce them. Except these, and the ornamental
letters' and the contractions, which are forbidden to
this set of publications, the present text puts before
the reader the MS. as written. When the shape of
letters affords so discriminating and so constantly
present a test of the age of manuscripts, it is a sub-
ject of great regret to me, that editors have so freely
applied the sponge of modernism, wiping away all
such peculiarities. In some cases we can separate at
once, an interpolation from the original by .watching

the omission. When I say that the original MS. has

is used. The capital letters at the beginning of sen-
tences are most un&irly omitted in the printed edition,'
and sometimes where capitals are printed the MS. has
none. In Ctedmon, if Cffidmon, MS. p. 42, line 8 =
p. 54, line 21, ed. 1832, perhaps the reading of the
later hand bypjbefc is an improvement on the older
bypjbe.
Towards a reliable i&terpretatioQ, the first step is an
adequate grammar. A few remarks shall therefore be
offered on this subject.
The vocaUsation of the oldest English MSS. differs
from that which may be called the received standard,
from the printed homilies of .£Uric, for instance, and
from the grammars which are all based on .^IfricR
Latin grammar. It is wholly a mistake to hold up
the received method for the pore West Saxon dialect ;
as may be seen by appealing to the authorities. We
have a manuscript which bears upon the face of it
satisfactory evidence of having been sent out of
Alfreds court by his own directions. It spells lajiiop-
tiSm, fc/le, po the article, leBneije eaee, uncSlIpieB&lice
as well as nncselp/pSlice, bion be, boenbnm facientiinis,

Chriatita, and ao on without end. Tlie evidence, which
this is not a convenient place for discussing, is sufii-
luent that in this vocalisation, whether of terminations
or other syllables, we have the dialect of King Alfreds
court. One editor of Orosius has famished us, at the
expense of Mr. Tollemache, with fac-eimiles of three
pages of the Lauderdale MS. Of the antiquity and
Boperior value of this MS. there can be no doubt. We
there see le river, as well as ea, heetc calls, lepielme

and hio)\a, hopi'c for hopf. Just as was to be expected
from current notions, the editor who had access to
this good MS. did not use it ; it has, says he, " a
" northeriy aspect." This expression were true, had it
been used of a manuscript of the eleventh century;
but the Lauderdale MS. is older, and agrees in spelling
with others of nearly tlie same aga If the book called
Ciiedmon, be his, which I neither assert nor deny, the
copy we have is much later than his times; but it
exhibits proofe of having been transcribed from an
earlier book in which the same method of vocalising
prevailed. The penman altered, as was customary, the
spelling as he went ; but at page 55 of the MS, line
3,' he came to a slip of the earlier pen, which he was
unable to understand : it had been meant for

page, line 25,' the first writing was tj- )?*ej- asnja

On page 37, line 15,' per is from the older copy.
On page 39, line 6,' mob is the old spelling, and by
some accident it has been read aa mob and an accent
has been given to it. Enough of this for the present.
Of the C.O.C.C. MS. of the Chronicle the age has been
thrown perhaps too far back; it contains, as appears,
some of these epellinga ; ciejipe, fipbe, lelbsran, hiej^n,*
hiepa, ponjne, and tJie like; these are here given on

The thought dawns upon us, that when our early
manuscripts are put &irly before us, the Heliand itself
may belong to this island.
It is only partly true that the accentual mark of
MSS. denotes a long vowel Of this I shall mention
what I believe to be a decisive proof; but must first
say that Mr, Thorpe wholly deceived himself when he
supposed the accentuation of his edition of Caedmon,
if Osedmon, to be like his original He says, " In the
" accentuation, which confirms in almost every case the
" theory of Professor Rask, I have followed the autho~
" rity of maniiscripta, and except in a very few instances
" that of the manuscript of Ceedmon itself" I add
my testimony to that of others, that the accentuation
has been much altered. In the original MS. at page 14,

cented; the words are written thaa: f him com. It ia

evident that it was the emphatic aeoae and not any
long vowel which loought the accent down on that
word. The syllable on-, with the privative seuae is
frequently accented, as marking a change of meaning.
pSjttmm (except in Ctedmon, if Csedmon, WS.)' often
obtains the accent, but the vowel is certainly not an
omega. In the old MSS. the affix bom is accented, in-
dicating here a long vowel,' as in the Qerman equivalent
-thorn, but our language has a tendency to throw
back accents, and pIfbSm must have before long become
Wisdom. Some have thought that two concurrent
syllables in English cannot take accents at once; but
our utterance of Rich man. Poor man, as compared
with Chapman, Helmsman, is irreconcileable with
that theoiy. The page of Csedmon cited above," gives
UB btc him, onjSn h&n, SfaSp, hlf Itc, with concurrent
accents, in the original MS. These, observe, were not
all vowels long of themselves. The Leecbbook accents
the inflexive syllable -um,- as hat^, otrpGrn, jobtim,
jiyprfim, pronoancing, it may be [assumed, this vowel
long. This pronunciation must have disappeared before
the MSS. could confuse such forms as f>am ilcon with
Jiam ileum, minum, minon, which they very frequently
do.
Saxons accented Latin words as a guide to the
reader ; thus in MS H., fol. 94, mdincati6mbuf,
jpSidunef cempeitStef , ommpotentij- nfij-j-ci : these are
not all long vowels, though they be all long ayllablea
On fol. 96 b, hilSpif is an erroneous pronunciation.
In some instances an accent appears over a con-
sonant, and though it may always be asserted that it
haa been intended for the vowel, it will in the text
here be found as written.

a Final syllables with short vowels are written -with
e, 1, o, or il' Hence a verb ending in -obon became,
on dropping the N, -ohe in its termination; and
peeftmaf, dropping the s, might become psBftme.
The general analogies of the oldeet English with the
Latin and Qreek wonld lead ns to expect the neuters
plural to end in a short vowel as a ; so that pojiba
should represent verba ; and this is so. But the
English also loses the vowel, and the plural becomes
popb. This is the case with most of our neutera.
And not so only. Other terminations lose the vowels
we expect to find. The adverbs ending in -on, and
like -0iv, meaning from, are often found to, and did,
doubtless, originally, end in -one, as heonon, heonone,
hence.
The omission of a final short vowel affects^ the
orthography of nominatives : thus Eemble says, on
serende, " In later times the final e was sometimes
" omitted, but should not have been so." peopc, wark,
2>ain, (a masculine, and ^ot to be confounded with
peojic, work, neuter,) is written in the nominative peopce
twice in the MSl of Ceedmon.' The forms syfeene,
goddeaa, {lyuenu,* leads us to suppose that the language
had a feminine -ne for names of the offices of women,
as Dime, old-germ. Dioma, fwmula, puelia. The St
Johns Oxon MS. gl. for monacha o'S^e monialis has

In manuscripts, which are late Saxon, the nomino^ Article,

The iuflexioDB laid down in grammars are, or ought
to be, the tisaal forms as observed in the language.
In all leas known languages, in Greek to wit, the
conomon grammars are often much in error. In the
oldest written English, abusively called Anglo-Saxon,
these inflexions are less certain, since the writings
have had few students; and it cannot be expected
that we should iske law from the granunara. Yet it
wonld not be reasonable to iavour a reading merely
on the ground of its being exceptional : we dare only
go BO fiu*, as to accept more readily those less usual,
less sanctioned, forms, which lall in with the tendency
of the time, and that was to drop terminations, as is
seen in the English of the twelfth and thirteenth
centntieB, the " Semi Saxon " and the " Early English "
of the artificial phraseology. The infinitive J>anc pitan,
X^ff eiSJMii, savoir gr^, is found in the Exeter book,
written without the s, p&ac piCa.^ These two passages
have more force of testimony than two ooncnrring
manuscripts ; and it follows, that in the tenth century,*
infinitives had begun to drop N. The Hatton Gospels '
read ]>a gastlice Jrearfim,* )>a sibeume,' )>anne ytemeste
fer]>yng,' and so on ; and it is too much for any
moderate partisan to assume to limit closely in time
the commencement of such a falling ofi" of " the
" marching soldiers."
The s of the nominative and accusative plural in
-a]* is sometimes, at least in the MSS., wanting ; as
in Caedmon, if Ctedmon, MS. p. 42, line 17, Sbame
■F. 67, line 34, ed., p. 74,lme31.

Ofconcuimit The early manuscripts, representing sounds, more
than modem feshionable spelling does, often omitted
some one of many concurring consonants. Thus they
wrote pypcpuma, where derivation required pyptcpuma,

culine adjective holbne in Beowulf, 531 ; minne in
Cuedm.? MS. p. 19, line 21; and hatne, Paris Psalter,
Ixxviii. 38. The passages in the same Faria Psalter,
Isi 8, 11, may be explained in more ways than one.

mon in participles ; since the syllables -enbne contain
a combination, which no one but an elocution master
will fling fi-om his lips with comfort. Hence explain

Eemble has already remarked, Beowulf, 92, Appendix,
" mnborwesende is the ace. sing. . . . Participles not
" unfrequenlJiy have this anomaly and omit the n." '
Any comlanation of sound, however, which rendered
the n of the accusative indistinct on the teeth gave
occasion to a neglect of the unsounded letter by the
penman. Deofol is masculine in the Gospels ; there-
fore undffine beofol, Luke iv. 33, is for unchenne. On

An adjective placed immediately in juxta position A^jeedvei
with a substantive or another adjective could dispense ^J^^^on
with its case inflexion. The examples are very
numerous, but most of them have been disposed of
by the hyphen system, making them half compounds ;
in that treatment there is some truth, for a termina-
tion doing duty for two consecutive words, makes
them draw very close to each other, and we have

Bat for myself, the representation of an adjectire
standing immediately before its substantive, as being
more truly an approximation to a compound word,
than an epithet, is tolerable only in some examples,
as in j-mtel {)eapmaf, BTnaU guts, psepneb cynnef, and
these cases are distinguisbable in spoken language by
their having only one fall accent on the group of
syllables. Other instances, aa hpeap sejpu,' rww eggs,
50b apenbe j-py^Se mj'cel pen, Ood sent a heavy Tain,
do not commend themselves on this principle to my
judgment Even such phrases aa cj^inj alpihca,^ are
better sense, if treated as eall for ealjia, than if con-
sidered as compounds.
I have before' observed that the case ending -um,
becomes by loss of the final consonant -e. Rask * had
remarked this of adjectives, but the translator ^ struck
out hirf words. The change however is seen in sub-
stantives, and in short, it is a mere decay of termina-
tion,
rinral verb* jn former treatises " I have observed that by the
loss of N, verbs plural in -on, come to end in -e.
By this simple explanation, harmonizing with other
changes in our early language, we fiilly understand
what has been called "a verb with a singular termi-
" nation joined to a plural nominative,"' "a singular
" for plural."
Sabuintfyet Adjectives become substantives, and are sometimes
twefc masculine, sometime feminine, sometimes neuter.*

The Leechboofc takes a luge licence of careless con- Apposition,
stmction. In a list of the ingrcdienta of a receipt it
commooly uses nominatives, though a verb requiring
accusatives had preceded. It often constructs as if we
should say, Dato legroto banc medicinam, ieiunus ;
either because it is equivalent to Bibat tegrotns banc
medicinam ieiunus, or from simple carelessness, or on
the principle remarked above, that a termination was
of supererogation.

For sore and for swelling of oyes, take this wort, ymtwIeM f
which is called apium, and by another name marche,
well pounded with bread ; lay this to the eyes.

drawn is clearly not mistletoe ; more like " veronica becca-
buDga." (H.)

I. Tliis wort, wliich ia named ^BtaikWxri, and by
another name adderwort, is produced in tlie places
where the adder is, which is named by the same name
jSatriXfirxaf. Verily of them, there is not one sort, hut
they are of three kinds ; one is i^i^puiro;, that is, said
in our language, that it shineth all with gold ; then
there is another sort stellatus, that is in our tongue,
spotted ; it is as if it had a golden head. The third sort
is sanguineus, that is, blood red ; it also may be golden
on the head. All these kinds tliis wort basilisca hath.
If then, one hath this wort with him, none of these
kinds of snakes may do him harm. The first snake
iki'Xfiiaoi, is named ;^uffeo( ; it bloweth upon and setteth
on fire, whatsoever it seeth. Next the other, stellatus,
is truly denominated ;^puo'oxi'f «Xo; kirttfhm ^ as to this
one,* whatsoever it seeth, shrinketh up and perishes.
Nest, the third is named al^BTin;; and ;^u(rDK«fiaXa; ;
whatsoever this one seeth or toucheth, it flowetli.
away, so that nought there remains but the bones.
Tiiis wort basilisca then hath the all powers of them.

and illustrious of aspect, and it is bene&cial. Thou
shalt in this manner take it, when thou comest
to it, tlien thou understandest it by this, that it
shineth at night altt^ther hke a lamp. When first
thou seest its head, then inscribe thou it instantly
with iron, lest it fly irom thee; its virtue is bo
mickle and so famous, that it will immediately flee
from an unclean man, when he coroeth to it ; hence,
as we before said, do thou inscribe it with iroDi and
so shalt thou delve about it, as that thou touch it not
with the iron, but thou ahalt earnestly with an ivory
staff delve the earth. And when thou seest its hands
and its feet, then tie thou it up. Then take the
■ Tkie it in the Latin text tlie last article. In the drawings
the root is a man iu libn^io ; M^. V. adds a dog : from the

call wood hervy, madbeni/, is produced on downs, and
it haa leaves like a leek.^ A man stall take a root of
this wort about midsiunmer, and also in like wise the
whole wort, since it is very convenient for leechdoms.
That is to be admired in this wort that it hath a
small root, and not so straight but that it in some
part is bent ; it is brittle and tender when it is dried,
and when it is broken, it reeketli just as if it sent forth
from it a smoke,^ and it is in some degree bitterish
to the taste. The larger roots, however, are long and
hard, and veiy bitter to the taste, and they have a
virtue to that d^ree powerful and mischievous, that
they often suddenly choke a man. A man then shall
dry this root as we before said, and carve up the
length of it into the likeness of peas. There is mi it
much leechdom for various occasions, so that a man
take of this root by weight of ten pennies ; however,
one must not ever, by reason of its strength, administer
it apart, but mingled with some other meat, according
to the quality, of which the infirmity is ; that is, if
the disorder be so stubborn, administer it in beer or
in black brewis.
2. If he then be troubled with diarrhoea, administer
it in ooze of peas, or with the wort, rather grain,
which is called oryza, rice, with emede, that is, Jine
flour ; all these, however, shall be first sodden and
tioftened in lithe beer.
■ Leek is an alteration ; Dioskorides aays the leavea are like
Uioijo of pluutain or wild beet.

drink in wine; not only doth it stir the mie, but
also similarly the xarctp^vKx, and it relieves the stirring

effect against liver BickneBa and against bites of adders.
3. It also, moreover, taken with seed of the wort
which one nameth oluaatrum,'' is of much benefit
against manifold disorders of the inwards.
4. For swelling of the breasts, take this ilk wort,
wrought into a poultice ; lay it to the breasts ; it
removes all the evil gatherings about the breasts.
6. °For sting of scorpion, and for bites of all sorts
of serpents, and also f^inst bite of mad hound, take
tliis same wort, work it to a plaster, lay it to the

stonecrop." Bnt the botaDists are plainly right in calling
the plant known tut Gromell, Lithospormon. The figure in
MS. V. ia L. officinale.
^ Dioskorides says olive. Rue is not an Engliah plant, nor
arc the leaves appropriately compared here. Gromel leaves
are lanceolate, as in the olive.

administer it to be drunk ; it purgeth the body
through spewing ; and after that the aick hath drunken
the drink, he shall go, that is, iwoM; about, and bestir

compared to the head of the monster whii^ men name
the Gorgon, and the twigs * have, as is also said, • That is, the
both eyes and nose, and colour of serpents.
2. Also the root will make any man resemble itself,
whilom of hue of gold, whilom of silver. And when
thou wilt take up this wort with its roots, then
beware thou that no sun shine upon it, lest its hue
and its might be spoiled through the brightness of
the sun. Ciuve it off then with a crooked and very
hard iron, and he who will carve it, then let him be
averted, for it is not permitted that man may. see
his root unharmed. He who hath this wort with him, ,
avoideth every evil footswathe or track coming on
ag^nst him ; yea, for it the evil man tumeth himself
about, or giveth way to him.

1. This wort, which is named fiox^ot, and by another H^einihia
name , is of two kinds; the one is red, "^"^X^^rMh^
beneficial for sore of the maw ; the other is bitterish wist Mascari
to the taste ; it is called o-xiXX»Sijj ; it is also more <'™«™"-
profitable for the maw ; either of theTn hath strong
main or virtue, and when partaken of for meat, they
much strengthen the body.
■ The gloas in H., " mellUoli/' corandreg," and the officinal
character of the herb, favour this identification. The figure,

rathely it shall be torn asunder, as was the girdle of
Obadiah' the prophet. Then take the right for« foot
with these words, and thus say: In the name of the
. . . . I take thee for a leechdom ; then in what-
soever conflict or fight thou sbalt be, then thou shall
be victorious, and thou shalt do well in it, if thou
hast the foot with thee. With his suet smear the
horses which are in a fever, or in any ailment; it
shall retire from them, and the hour of life shall be
proloDged to them,'> and though it be a mickle ailment,
quickly it shall depart away.
3. Mingle hi-i blood with a little salt for horses
and mules, and any four-footed neat which are
strolling witli pestilence, or with any evil ; put it
by means of a horn on the deers (beaats) mouth, and
so for about three nights ; they will be hale. Seethe
hia brain in three sextarii of oil in a new crock, till
that the third part be boiled away; bottle off, and
preserve it. If any one be troubled with head-
racking pain i^ter the bath, smear him therewith for
three nights ; he will be healed. And so also the feet.
And though a man be in any chronic ° and incurable
disease, this manner will heal and cure him. Take
his liver, divide it, and delve it down at the turnings
round of thy land boundaries, and of thy borough
wall foundations,^^ and hide the heart at thy borough

she alone combed her head, and with which no other
man has combed nor shall comb. Under the tree

what is lost in the comb, and hang it on an
upstanding twig of the morbeam, and again after a
while, when clean, let her gather it from the twig
and preserve it. That shall be a leechdom for her, for

let her place it on a twig which is turned downwards,
and let her collect it again ; that is her leechdom.

1. Tbis is the best eyesalve for eye pun, and for
mifit, and for pin, and for wonna, and for itchings, and
for eyes running with teardrops, and for every known
swelling : take feverfue blossoms, and dills blossoms, and
thundar clovers" blossoms, and hammer worts** blossoms,
and wonnwood of two kinds, and pulegium, and the
netherward part of a lily, and coloured diU,° and lov^e,
and pelUtoiy, and pound the worts together, and boil
them together la harts marrow or in his grease, and
mingle oil besides ; put them a good mickle into the
eyes, and smear them outwardly, and warm at the
fire; and this salve helpeth for any swelling, to swal-
low it and to smear with it, on whatever limb it
may be.
2. This is efficacioos for an eyesalve : take yellow
stone {ochre), and salt stone (rock salt), and pepper,
and weigh them in a balance, and drive them through
a cloth, and put of all equally much, and put all
together, and drive agtan through a linen cloth ; this
is a tried leechcraft.
3. Fgc lung disease, take white borebonnd, and hys-
sop, and me, and galluc,^ and biyBewort, and brown- *E
wort,« and wood marohe, and groundsel, of each of
these worts twenty pennyweight, and take a sextarius
iiill of old ale, and seetite the w<aia till the sester of
ale is half sodden a/way, and drink every day a cnp
fall of it cold, and at evening a veiy little of it
warm, the last thing ; it is a healing remedy.

To find lost cattle.
Neither stolen Qor hidden be aught of what I own ;
any more than Herod could onr Lord. I remembered
Sivint Helena and I remembered Christ on the rood
hung; 80 I think to find these beeves, not to have
them go far, and to know whei-e they are, not to
work them mischief and to love them, not to lead
them astray. Garmund, servant of Qod, find me those '
beeves, and fetch me tiioae beeves, and have those
beeves, and hold those beeves, and bring home those
beeves, so that he, the miBdoer, may never have any
land, to lead them to, nor gronud to bring them to,
nor houses to keep tliem in. If one do this deed, let
it avail him never. Within three nights I will try
his powers, his might, his 'main, and his protecting
crafts. Be he quite waiy, aa wood is ware of fire,
A8 thigh of bramble or of thistle, he, who may be
thinking to mislead these beeves or to mispossess this
cattle. Amen.
For catching a awarm, of bees.
Take some earth, throw it with thy right hand
under thy right foot and say, " I take nnder foot,
" I am trying what earth avails for everything in the
" world and against spite and against malice, and
" against the mickle tongue of man, and against dis-
" pleasure." Throw oyer them some gravel where
they Bwann, and say, —
" Sit ye, my ladies, sink,
" Sink ye to earth down ;
" Never be so wild,
" As to the wood to fly.
" Be ye as mindful of my good as every man is of
" meat and estate."

A ' charm for 6ewfcA«d lamd.
Here is the remedy, how thoa mayst amend thine
acres, if they will not wax well, or if therein any-
thing improper have been done, by sorcery or- witch-
craft.
Take then at night, ere it dawn, four tur& on the
four quarters of the land, and mark how they formerly
Btood. Then take oil and honey and barm and milTr
of every cattle which is on the land, and part of
every kind of tree which is grown on (iie land except
hard beams, and part of every wort known by name Aetr ptvJo
except the huckhean(?) only, and add to them holy '^'"*""'-
water, and then drop of U thrice upon the place of
the turfe, and then say these worda : Crescite, tiioi is
wax ; et multiplicamini, ikai is and multiply ; et
replete, that is and £11 ; terram, thai is this earth, etc
And say the Paternoster as often as the other forvnida,
and after that bear the turfe to church and let a
ma&s priest sing four massea over the turfs, and let the
green surface be turned towards the altar, and then
let the turfs be brought to the places where they were
before ere the setting of the sun. And let tJn mam
have wrought for him four crosses of quickbeam, and
let him write upon each end, " Matthew, etc," Let
him lay the cross of Christ upon the lower part of
the pit, and then say, etc. Then take the tur& and
set them down therein, and say nine times these

I pray the holy
Heavens ruler
Eftrth I pray
And heaven ahove
And the Booth
Saintly Mary
And heavens might
And halls on high
That I may this gibberish
By grace of the Lord,
With teeth disclose
TbroTigh firmness of thought,
Wake up the wanHrig crops
For our worldly weaJ,
Fill up the fields of earth
With firm belief
Frank forth these grassy plains
As said the prophet.
That he on earth honour should have
Whoso bis alms
Hath dutifully dealt out
Doing his Lords wilL
Then turn thyself thrice according to the stma course,
and then stretch out along and there count the litanies,'
and then say the Tersanctus to the end ; then aing the
Benedicite with arma extended," and the Magnificat,
and the Paternoster, thrice, and commend it to Christ
and to St. Mary and to the Holy Hood, for love, and
for reverence, and for grace for liim who owneth the
land, and all them who are subject to him. When
all that is done, then let one take strange seed of
almsmen, and give them twice as much as was taken
from tbem, and gather all his plough apparatus to-
gether ; tlien let him bore a liole in the plough beam
