The Sarum Missal selected for translation in these volumes is the folio printed edition of (f526> A perfect copy of it may be seen in two of our largest public libraries, under the following (present) press- marks : Oxford, Bodleian Library, Gough Missals, 23 ; Cambridge, University Library, Vel. A. 52. 3. There are three other copies known, one in the Chapter Library at York ; one at Maynooth College ; and one (imperfect) the property of the late F. H. Dickinson, Esq. There is not a copy in the British Museum, where, however, there is a nearly perfect copy of the very similar folio edition of the Sarum Missal printed by Regnault at Paris in 1531. The only modern reprint of the Sarum Missal (Burnt- island, 1861-83) is a reprint of the 1526 edition." It was therefore, obviously, the most convenient edition to take from which to make the present translation. It is desirable to give a description of its arrangement, and an outline of its contents, especially as its scheme of signatures and foliation (not pagination) is complicated, and not at all clear for purposes of reference. References to pages in the present reprint cannot be given here, because this Introduction is being prefixed to the first volume before the whole of the text of both volumes has been set up ; but such pages will for the most part be easily found by reference to Indexes 2 and 3. ' With the exception of the Kalendar, which for some unexplained reason was printed from the 1497 edition. There are some, though not many, variations. The Kalendar in this volume is from the 1526 edition. 3 ii INTRODUCTION. are Collation.—Foil. [8] + clvi. (but cxxix.-cxxxviii. omitted in the foliation) + [i6] + lxxii. + Ix. + [12J.
