Anliphoners. — There is one MS. which describes itself iis "Antiphonarium de toto anni eirculo, a festivitate S. Aciscli [17 Nov.] usque ad finem", con- taining the choir parts, but not the priest's part of the Offices and Masses. Tliis is the book known, quite erroneously, as the "Antiphoner of King Wamba", preserved in the Cathedral Library at Leon. It is a vellum MS. of the eleventh century (Era 1107 = A.D. 1069), 200 ff., transcribed by one Arias, probably from a much older book, which perhaps did belong to King Wamba (672-80). Dom Ferotin describes it as very complete.

Sacramenlaries. — (a) Toledo Chapter Library, 35.3, late tenth century, 177 ff. Contains Masses for the year. In the initial of that for St. Peter's Chair (22 Feb.) are the words "Elenus Abbas Acsi indignus scripsit". It belonged to the parish of St. Olalla (Eulalia) at Toledo. Dom Ferotin describes it as a Sacramentary, and says that it is complete. An edition by him will soon be published, (b) There is another MS. at Toledo mentioned but with no identi- fiable number by Burricl, Eguren, and Simonet, which is said by them to contain "Missas omnes tarn de tempore quam de Sanctis per totum anni circulum ". There is a copy of it among the Burriel manuscripts at Madrid, and Eguren ascribes the original to the ninth century.

Psallers. — (a) Madrid, Biblioteca Nacional, for- merly at Toledo (35.1), tenth century, 174 S. Con- tains the Psalter with antiphons, the Canticles, and the Hymnal. On f. 150 are the words "Abundantius presbyter librummauropresbyteroscriptor" (sic). The prologue of the Hymnal is an acrostic in verse which reads "Mavricvs obtante Veraniano edidyt". This MS. was used by Cardinal Lorenzana for the Psalter, Canticles, and Hymnal in his edition of the Mozarabic Breviary. There is a copy among the Burriel MSS. (b) British Museum, Add. 30851, eleventh century. Contains Psalter, Canticles, Hymnal, and "Horse Canonica;", the last (though imperfect) being much fuller than the printed Breviary and containing the now obsolete Night Offices, as well as the other Hours and a number of offices for special occasions.

The Psalter is preceded by a poem addressed by Florus of Lyons to Hyldradus (here called Vsidorus Abbas), Abbot of Novalese near Susa in Piedmont (825-7). There is a full description of this MS. in Ferotin's " Deux Manu- scrits wisigothiques de la Biblioth^que de Ferdinand I", (d) Royal Library, Madrid, 2. J. 5, dated Era 1097 (= A. D 1059). Contains ninety-nine Canticles nearly agreeing with the Compostela Psalter. There is a formula of confession, in which the names of Queen Sancia and the Infanta I^rraca appear, and which con- tain an extraordinary list of sins. The MS. belonged

in the fourteenth century to the Benedictine monas- tery of St. Maria de Aniago near Simancas, which in 1436 became for a time a Mozarabic chapter (.see Section I. History and Origin), then to the Colegio de Cuenca at Salamanca. It is fully described in Fdrotin's "Deux Manuscrits wisigothiques".
