Latin notes (Yale, Beinecke Library, Beinecke MS 317)

Comment

Many Latin notes, in several hands, tightly squeezed together, including sections labelled Augustinus in confessionibus; de ascensione; de temptacione. Folios 53-55 are mutilated; f. 56 is torn in half with the upper portion missing. On f. 54v appears "Aue maria mayden ymmaculate/ Eram plena et humylyte/ dominus tecum bothe erthely and late/...ventris tui Ihesus on vs have mercy"; and some proverbs, in Middle English and Latin, beginning: "By a lytel hoole beholdeth man his frend/ Per specular modicum speculatur amicus amicum/...(cf. B. J. Whiting, Proverbs, Sentences and Proverbial Phrases...[Cambridge, 1968] p. 284, H 414).
