“Panhood J am, therefore J me delygbt To hunt and hawke, to nourish up and kede The grephounde to the course, the hawke to th’ Aight, And to bestryde a good and lusty stede.” From Sir THOMAS Morr’s Poems.

Introduction.

EVERAL independent printing preſſes were eftablifhed in England before the clofe of the fifteenth century; and from them iffued numerous books which are

invaluable to all ftudents of antiquity from the light

they throw upon the focial habits and literary progrefs of our nation. Of thefe it may fafely be faid that not one exceeds in intereſt that work of an unknown typographer, which is here prefented in facfimile, and which, from the town in which it was compiled, as well as printed, is known to all bibliographers as “The Book of St. Albans.” This work has always been a favourite, partly becaufe our feelings are appealed to in favour of the writer who for centuries has taken rank as England’s earlieft poetefs, and is ftill, in all our Biographical Dictionaries, reckoned among “noble and partly becaufe we love myſteries, and a myftery has always enfhrouded the namelefs printer. The fubjects, too, fo curioufly alliterative—Hawking, Hunting, and Heraldry, have an enticing and antique flavour about them, being juft thofe with

which, at that period, every man claiming to be “gentle” was

authors;

expected to be ſamiliar; while ignorance of their laws and language was to confefs himfelf a churl.“

6 Introdultion.

As to the language and orthography of the book, it is a never- failing ſource of intereft, being quite different from any other printed work of the fifteenth century, except the St. Albans’ Chronicle from the fame prefs. Among bibliographers it ranks as “variffimus,’ the known copies being fo few that they might pro- bably be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Looking at the book, then, all round, it will be a convenient plan to confider thefe ſubjects feparately, and to treat the volume in its four aſpects of Authorfhip, Typography and Bibliography, Subject matter, and Philology.

CHAPTER I.

Authorship.

SIISTORIANS and Biographers, together with Libra- rians and Bookfellers, have a natural antipathy to anonymous books; and, wherever they can, are willing to accept the smalleſt amount of evidence as proof of paternity. It faves much trouble and avoids numerous errors in cataloguing, when a recognifed name can be affociated with an anonymous work. From this tendency a bad habit has arifen of attributing to particular writers books concerning which the evidence of authorfhip is doubtful, if not altogether untruftworthy. In this very book we have a ftriking inftance of fuch erroneous attribution. The three treatifes, of which the book is made up, are quite diftinét, and to a portion only of one of theſe is there any author's name attached. Yet that name, Dam Julyans Barnes,” altered by degrees to Dame Juliana Berners, is now univerfally received as the name of the authorefs of the whole volume. With even lefs fhow of reafon fhe is credited with the authorfhip of a “ Treatife on Fiſning for which there is not the fhadow of evidence, that treatife having been added ten years later by Wynken de Worde, who, when reprinting the Book of St. Albans, thought that the subject of Fifhing would complete the work as a Gentleman’s Vade Mecum. There are really four diftinét tractates in the Book of St. Albans, although the two laſt being on Heraldry are generally counted as one.

*

8 r A uthor (hep.

The firſt is on Hawking; to this no name of the author is attached, but it has a prologue which no one acquainted with the other writings of the printer can doubt to be his. Of this we fhall have more to fay anon.

The fecond tractate is on Hunting: it is fpecially aſſociated with the name of Dame Juliana Berners, and will require a more extended elucidation than the others.

Here the evidence of authorfhip is as good as for moft pieces of fifteenth-century production a period at which literary rights did not exift, and when the ſcribe, if at all acquainted with the ſubject upon which the book he was copying treated, did not ſcruple to interpolate his own ideas, and that without any egotiftical vanity, but merely from a feeling that all books being written for the good of men, and not from vanity in the author, it was a duty to improve them where poffible. But as improvement moftly meant the addition of ſomething on the fame ſubject taken from another manufcript, we have the conftant occurrence of one MS. being a compilation of two or three others, and yet appearing under the name of the laft compiler.

In this treatife on Hunting we have the exprefs ſtatement at the end of the twenty-fourth page Explicit Dam Julyans Barnes.” This might certainly apply to the tranfcription only, but, when taken with Wynken de Worde’s verfion, the probability is, that the lady compiled as well as wrote it. In the reprint by Wynken de Worde, only ten years later than the original, he varies the colophon thus. “@ Explicit dame Julyans Bernes doctryne in her boke of huntynge,” the whole reprint ending Enprynted at weftmeftre by Wynkyn the Worde the yere of thyncarnacdn of our lorde. M.CCCC, Ixxxxvj.” So that he, a contemporary, evidently believed her to be the authorefs. Later authorities attributed the whole book to her pen, but as they were in poſſeſſion of no more evidence than we now are, and probably not fo much, we fhould attach no weight to fuch ftate- ments, which were founded fimply on a vivid imagination.

But what is known of the lady who is admitted to have com- piled the twenty-four pages on Hunting? Who was Dame Julians Barnes? Here, unlefs a fentimental and inventive fympathy be employed to throw an artificial light upon the darknefs, we are in total ignorance. A biography of her has certainly been written, and all our Dictionaries and Encyclopedias devote a page or two to her hiftory, which, in 1810, under Haflewood’s nurture, attained its full development. Even fo far back as 1549, or nearly a century after her ſuppoſed death, the learned Bale, who wrote an account of all our Englifh celebrities, allows his gallantry to bedeck her memory with garments fine. Foemina illuftris!” he exclaims, “corporis et animi dotibus abundans ac forma elegantia fpectabilis” (An illuftrious lady! abundantly gifted, both in body and mind, and charming in the elegance of her mien). Confidering that the name of the lady is the whole of the text upon which Bale had to build, this is by no means a bad ſpecimen of imagina- tive biography, and became a good foundation for fuiure commen- tators. The ftory, however, fared rather badly at firft; for Holinfhed, in 1577, while echoing Bale very exactly, is made, by a curious error of the printer, who miftook the letters n for m, to call the authorefs Julyan Bemes; while Baker in his Chronicles, too carelefs even to refer to the original text, adds another blunder to the ftory, and, thinking that Julyan. muft be a man’s name, dubs the authorefs “a gentleman of excellent gifts, who wrote certain treatifes of Hawking and Hunting.”

Chauncy, in 1700 (Hiftory of Hertfordſhire), reſtored her fex to the lady, and then fet to work upon making a family hiftory for her. His firft difcovery was that, being a “ Dame,” fhe was of noble blood. Finding alfo that the family name of Lord Berners was, in olden time, ſpelt occafionally Barnes, he foon fupplied a father for our authorefs, in the perfon of Sir James Berners. And fo the game of making hiftory went on merrily up to the time of Jofeph Haflewood, who, in 1810, reprinted Wynken de Worde's

to Aulliorſep.

edition of the Book of St. Albans, and ſupplied a full-blown biography of the authorefs, giving particulars of her birth and education, the occupations of her youthful days, and a moft impofing pedigree. Let us quote Haflewood’s own words: “Julyans, or Juliana, Barnes, otherwife Berners, who has been generally defignated as the authorefs of the prefent volume, is fuppofed to have been born, towards the latter end of the fourteenth century, at Roding- Berners, in the county of Effex. The received report is that fhe was the daughter of Sir James Berners, whofe fon was created Baron Berners, temp. Henry IV., and that fhe once held the fituation of Priorefs of Sopwell Nunnery, in Hertfordfhire.” He then attributes to her the authorfhip of all four works in the Book of St. Albans. The difficulty of accounting for a lady fo placed writing upon fuch fubjects, is cleverly, if not ſatisfactorily fettled by affuming that fhe paſſed her teens at court, partaking of the amuſements of the field, and writing for her own ufe a common place book on various fubjects. Then retiring through difappoint- ment (doubtlefs a love affair) to a cloifter, her rank raifed her to the pofition of priorefs. There in her feclufion, writing amidft the folitude of liftlefs hours and vain regrets, fhe verfified the gene- ral rules of fport from her own pleafant recollection, and from the diaries of her youthful happinefs, which fortunately fhe had preferved. If we remember the mania which feized all claffes for diary-keeping at the beginning of this century, when Haflewood wrote this, it will deepen our fenfe of humour to note that he attributes private diary- keeping to a young lady who lived ante 1450.

But enough of fuch fham biography ; let us return to facts.

The word “Dame” did not in the fifteenth century, as it does now, imply any connection with a titled family, it meant fimply Miftrefs or Mrs. Chaucer fpeaks of Dame Partlet in this fenfe; and had the Dame Julyans Barnes of the fifteenth century lived now, fhe would have been juſt Mrs. Barnes.”

Similarity of name in hiftory, like fimilarity of found in philology.

Author{hip. 11

is a will-o-the-wiſp which has led many a writer into a bog. Allowing that Lord Berners name was ſometimes fpelt Barnes, is that fufficient reaſon for making our authorefs a member of his family? I think not.

That the greater portion of the book on Hunting was compiled by Miſtreſs Barnes, is probably correct,“ and had fhe written much more, and produced even an original work on the ſubject, fhe would not have ſtood alone, even at that early period, as an authoreſs. Cryſtine de Piſan, two of whoſe works were printed by Caxton, was contemporary with Julians Barnes, and left not only numerous original writings behind her—one of which was upon the Art of War—but left her mark, and that no mean nor ignoble one, upon the political courfe and moral development of her countrymen. But Dame Julyans’ work upon Hunting is certainly not original, as indeed very few works upon any fubject were at that period. This is evident from a glance at the text and the grouping of the ſubjects. It begins with diftinguifhing the varieties of beaſts and their ages; the proper names by which to defignate the beaſts, ſingly and together; on hunting and dreffing a Roe, a Boar, a Hare; of flaying; of the horns of a Roebuck; of the Hart; of the feasons; of the Hare. Then follows, from another fource, an inter- polation of a difcourfe between a Mafter of the Hunt and his man, going over portions of the fame ground again; and this ended, we get back again to the original MS. and the difmemberment of various beafts. All through, with the exception of the interpolated conver- ſation, the text is addreffed to My deare childe.” Thus we read “Do fo, my child; “Think what I fay, my fon;” “My lief childer; Say, child, where you go? my dame taught you fo.” Evidently that portion was originally written for a mother to ufe

Taking Berners and Barnes to be the fame word, it is curious to note—in connection with the work attributed to Dame Juliana, viz., The Book of Hunting—that the mafters of that ſport employed men called Berners, to be ready with relays of horfes and to feed the hounds.— See Halliwell's Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words.“

as a {chool-book, by which her fon would learn to read, and, at the fame time, become familiar with the terms of venery.

In the Bodleian Library is a fmall manufcript on the Terms of the Chafe, the beginning of which is :—

Mi dere fones, where ye fare, be frith or by fell, Take good hede in his tyme how Triftram wol tell.“

This manufcript was probably copied by fome youth as a ſchool- exercife, which would account for ie following odd colophon— “Explicit, expliceat, ludere ſcriptor eat.”

Compare the above with the opening ftanza of the verfes we attribute to Miftrefs Barnes: | % Wherefoever ye fare, by frith or by fell, “

My dear child, take heed how Triftram doth you tell.“ ¢ The reft of the Oxford MS. is in fimilar accord with the print, but nowhere in it is there a word about Miftrefs Barnes.

The words “ Explicit Dam Julyans Barnes” have been confidered to prove that the lady was alive when the book was printed. If, however, Sir James Berners were her father, of which there is no evidence, fhe muft have been clofe upon a hundred years old in 1486, as he died in 1390. But this is importing a needleſs difficulty into the theory, which is not rendered more probable by making the authorefs and printer contemporary.

It may here be as well to fay a few words about Sopwell Nunnery, over which, without a particle of evidence, our authorefs is fuppofed to have prefided. Sopwell Nunnery, Hertfordfhire, was founded about 1140, under the rule of St. Benedict, and ſubject to the Abbot of St. Albans, from which it was not far

diftant. The rule of life among the inmates was very fevere, and at the firft the nuns were enclofed under locks and bolts, made additionally fure by the feal, on the door, of the Abbot for the time being (Chauncy’s Hiſtory, p. 466). How long this lafted, and how the nuns liked it, hiftory faith not; but, in 1338, a re-organifation had become imperative, and the Abbot of St. Albans, among other inftructions, ordered that no nun fhould lodge out of the houfe, and no gueft within it (Newcome, p. 468). There does not feem much fcope left here for the Priorefs to take an active part in field fports, though a hundred and fifty years later, which was about the period of our Dame,” many relaxations of the ftri€ rules may have become common. But, then, we have apparently accurate lifts of all the Prioreffes of Sopwell in the fifteenth century, and the name of Juliana Barnes does not appear at all in them. The known dates are these:—In 1416, Matilda de Flamftede was Priorefs. Four years before her death, which was in 1430, fhe was fucceeded by Letitia Wyttenham. The next whose name is known was Joan Chapell; the date of her appointment is not recorded, but as fhe was fet afide in 1480 on account of her age, fhe had probably occupied the pofition for many years. In 1480, Elizabeth Webb fucceeded Joan Chapell.

What is really known of the Dame is almoſt nothing, and may be fummed up in the following few words. She probably lived at the beginning of the fifteenth century, and fhe poffibly compiled from exifting MSS. fome rhymes on Hunting.

There is ftill the authorfhip of the other parts of the book to determine, and if fimilarity of wording and phrafeology may be taken as evidence, they were all from one pen. |

At the end of the book on Heraldry the printer has put the {ollowing—“ Here endeth the book of Blafing of Arms tranflated and compiled together at Seynt Albons.” Here we have the printer's own ftatement as to the origin of his text, and doubtlefs this, as well as the treatife on Hawking, were made up or “compiled” from more

than one manufcript in French. Haſlewood gives a lift of fuch as are in the Britifh Mufeum, in feveral of which portions of the printed work are contained. Works on Hunting and Hawking were not uncommon in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and are ſtill found in all large collections of manufcripts. There were feveral in the libraries of the Dukes of Burgundy in the fifteenth century, and many are ftill extant in the national collections of England and France.

The other tractates in the volume have an origin very fimilar to that of the Book of Hunting. The Book of Hawking is an evident compilation from feveral manufcripts, which accounts perhaps for its deficiency in arrangement and want of continuity. The Book of Coat Armour alfo has two diftinét fources in contemporary works, one of which was the De Officio Militari” of Nicholas Upton. From this the fchoolmafter copied Book IV. almoft word for word, fupple- menting it from The Book of the Lineage of Coat Armour,” as ftated already. The only other literary work which can be attributed to our printer is the extenfive compilation known as the St. Albans’ Chronicle or the Fructus Temporum. But neither in the Chronicle, where he fimply combined two hiftories into one, nor in the Book of St. Albans, which is alfo a compilation, does the fchoolmafter fhow any literary ability above the average of fcholars of his period.

As fpecimens of the ſchoolmaſters powers of compofition we annex the following, the originals of which can be feen in the en- suing facfimile pages.

Prologue to the Book of batvking,

“In fo much that gentlemen and honeft perfons have great delight in Hawking, and defire to have the manner to take hawks: and alfo how and in what wife they fhould guide them ordinately: and ta know the gentle terms in communing of their hawks: and to under. ftand their fickneffes and infirmities, and to know medicines for them according, and the many notable terms that be ufed in hawking

both of their hawks and of the fowls that their hawks fhall flay. Therefore this book following in a due form fhows very knowledge of fuch pleafure to gentlemen and perfons difpofed to fee it.”

Prologue to Mistress Barnes’ Compilation on bunting.

“ Likewife, as in the Book of Hawking aforefaid are written and noted the terms of pleaſure belonging to gentlemen having delight therein, in the ſame manner this book following ſhoweth to ſuch gentle perfons the manner of Hunting for all manner of beafts, whether they be beaſts of Venery, or of Chace, or Rascal. And alfo it fhoweth all the terms convenient as well to the hounds as to the beaſts aforeſaid. And in certain there be many diverſe of them as it is declared in the book following.”

Prologue to the Book of Coat Armour.

„Here in this book following is determined the lineage of Coat Armours: and how gentlemen ſnhall be known from ungentle men, and how bondage began firft in angel and after fucceeded in man kind, as it is here fhowed in proceſs, both in the childer of Adam and alfo of Noe, and how Noe divided the world in three parts to his three fons. Alſo there be fhowed the nine colours in Arms figured by the nine orders of Angels, and it is fhowed by the forefaid colours which be worthy and which be royal; and of regalities which be noble and which be excellent. And there be here the vertues of Chivalry, and many other notable and famous things, to the pleafure of noble perfons fhall be fhowed, as the works following witneffes, whofoever liketh to fee them and read them, which were too long now to rehearfe. And after thefe notable things aforefaid followeth the Blafing of all manner Arms in Latin, French, and Englifh.”

So wrote the fchoolmafter. Let us now fee what kind of book this is typographically.

worthy doctor may have been, it is evident that our Book of St. Albans could never have been aught but an alien on 4 book: ſhelves.

The works printed by William Caxton were almoſt without exception in the Englifh tongue, while the contemporary preſſes of Oxford, St. Albans, and Machlinia were nearly all in Latin. Of the eight books at preſent known to have been printed at St. Albans, the only two in Englifh were the “Fructus Temporum” and the work under review. The “Fructus” or St. Albans’ Chronicle is the fame as that printed two years previoufly by Caxton, with the addition of certain ecclefiaftical events and Papal chronology, probably added by the printer himfelf to pleafe the monks.

The Book of St. Albans’ and the St. Albans’ Chronicle make a clafs of themfelves; but as it is impoffible to underftand their pofition without a glance at the other works from the fame prefs, we will give a tabulated defcription of the whole eight.

But who was the printer? What was his name? Was he aſſociated with the great Abbey? and is there any internal or external evidence in his works to connect him with any other printer or any other town?

The only notice we have of the printer is an accidental one by

Wynken de Worde, who, in reprinting the St. Albans’ Chronicle, ſays 0

in the colophon, Here endith this prefent Chronicle . . . compiled in a book and alfo enprinted by our fometime Schoolmafter of St. Alban.” He was a fchoolmafter, then, and this will account for the nature of his early works, all fcholaftic and all in Latin. Not till the end of his typographical career did he realife the fact that the print- ing-prefs, inftead of being the hobby of a few learned men, was the educator of the people, the whole nation ; and then he gave his country- men what they wanted—a hiftory of their own country and a book upon the whole (secular) duty of the gentleman, as then underftood.

The name of the fchoolmafter-printer is quite unknown. No notice of him is found in the records of the Abbey, nor does he appear in any contemporary document. Yet here, as in Miftrefs Barnes’s cafe, imagination has come to the refcue and a legendary name has been provided.

Finding that the Prologue to the Book of Hawking began with the words, Inſomuch as gentle men and honeft perſons have great delight in Hawking; finding alſo that the St. Alban’s Chronicle from the fame prefs began thus: Inſomuch as it is neceſſary; and bearing in mind that certain old authors had veiled ¢heiy names in the firſt words of their works, Dr. Chauncy arrived at the ſagacious concluſion that the St. Albans printer wifhed to veil 42s name, which really was “Infomuch.” The joke, for it almoft feems like one, does not bear even the ſcrutiny which itfelf invites, for although the fchool- mafter ufes the words in two other places, in neither cafe are they at the beginning of a chapter.* It fhould be added that in this the worthy hiftorian of Hertfordfhire only followed the lead of both Bale and Pits.

Was he connected with the Abbey? I think not. There is not a word to fuggeft fuch a connection, although we may take it for granted that the Abbot and his fraternity could not have frowned upon

the printer, or he would never have eftablifhed himfelf. His imprints all mention the town of St. Albans, but never the Abbey, and his pofi- tion was probably fimilar to that of Caxton, who was fimply a tenant of the Abbot of Weftminfter, but, fo far as is known, nothing more. Was he connected with Caxton and the Weftminfter prefs? With- out a fhadow of doubt I fay, No! Mr. E. Scott, of the MS. depart- ment in the Britifh Mufeum, has indeed ftrung together a number of furmifes to fhow that the Schoolmafter was employed by Caxton, and that all the books without date or place hitherto attributed to Weftminfter were really printed at St. Albans. But internal evidence is againft any fuch gratuitous affumption. There is nothing in common between the two printers in any of their habits or cuftoms except the poffeffion of Caxton’s No. 3 type. This is the only one of Caxton’s types ufed outfide his own office (for W. de Worde, his succeffor in houfe and bufinefs, muft not be regarded as a feparate printer). Caxton employed it from his arrival in England in 1477 till 1484, when it makes its laft appearance in the headings of ÆEſop, the “Order of Chivalry,” and The Golden Legend.” In 1485 Caxton obtained a new fount, fimilar in fhape and character, and from that time the old No. 3 difappears to make way for the new and ſmaller type No. 5. This being more fuited to the tafte of the day, we find the larger and worn fount paffing over to the country prefs of St. Albans, where the Schoolmafter firft ufes it in 1486, being the identical year in which its fucceffor appears in Caxton's Royal Book.” We may here obferve that after the ftoppage of the St. Albans’ Prefs the fame fount finds its way back again and is feen in W. de Worde’s reprint, in 1496-97, of the two Englifh St. Albans books. But the difcovery of a copy of Caxton’s Boethius in the old Grammar School at St. Albans, and the numerous fragments of old books extracted from its covers, are quoted as confirming the idea. Yet the book itfelf and all thefe fragments were from Weftminfter, not a fingle one being from a known St. Albans book, and they included the Caxton “ Chronicles,” 1480, the Dictes,” 1477, and the

20 Typography and Bibliography.

ftill earlier Life of Jaſon; fo that we had better at once remove the whole Weftminfter prefs, dated and undated, to St. Albans, if fuch an argument is to have any force. Thefe fragments, indeed, can only point to the fact that the copy of Boethius was bound in the printing office, as was commonly the cafe with the books from Caxton’s prefs.

Again, Mr. Scott draws attention to the fact that a page of the St. Albans’ Book, 1486, has been copied by a contemporary writer on to the blank leaves of one of Caxton’s earlieft books. ’Tis true; but this copying of part of one book into another, printed ten years before, has no typographical bearing whatever. Laſtly, the name Caufton appears in an old St. Albans’ Regifter of the early part of the fifteenth century. But this, again, means pofitively nothing. Caxton’s name was not at all uncommon; there were Cauftons or Caxtons in nearly every Englifh county, and I have quite a long lift of them.

It is highly probable that Caxton, while at Weftminfter, in the van of all the literature of his day, would have communications of fome fort with the important town of St. Albans; but that the two printers aſſiſted one another in the production of books, is, fo far as any evidence goes, a pure fiction.

Let us now glance at the bibliographical aſpect of the book.

The work itfelf has no title. It is difficult in our time, accuftomed as we are to “teeming millions” of books, each with its own title- page, to conceive a period when the prefs fent out works without even the fhadow of a title-page. Before the invention of printing, the author fimply headed his firft page with the name of the work, as “Here begins the Confeffio Amantis,” or “Hic incipit Parvus Catho,” and, without preface or more ado, the text commenced. Sometimes even this little notification was omitted, and, as in Caxton’s “Jafon,” The Chefs Book,” Tulle, and many other fifteenth-century books, the ſubject of the work had to be learned by reading the text. So it is with the book now under review; it comprifes four diftinét works, but to one only is there any heading, and that has the bare line “Incipit liber armorum.”

The firſt, The Book of Hawking,” ſtarts ftraight off—“ This is the manner to keep Hawks,“ and occupies three ſignatures, a, b, and t, of eight leaves each, and fig. d, which has but four leaves, on purpoſe that this portion might be complete alone, if ſo deſired. The fame idea controlled the arrangement of The Book of Hunting,” which, beginning on fig. k j, ends with Dame Juliana’s “Explicit” on the recto of fig. f iiij. This left the laft feven pages of the quaternion to be filled up. Now it was a common practice, both with the ſcribes and with the early printers, when they got to the end of their text and found that a page or two of blank paper was left, to occupy the blank pages with fuch common houfehold aphorifms or popular rhymes as came eafily to the memory, or were at hand in fome other book. So here the fchoolmaster- printer fills up his vacant pages with a number of odd fentences and rhymes, moft of which occur over and over again in numerous manu- {cripts of early poetry. Among others we notice the well-known :—

Ariſe erly, ferue God deuouteli, and the world beſily. &c. &c. Alfo the folks proverb Too wyues in oon hous, Too cattys and oon mous, Too dogges and oon boon, Theis fhal] neũ accorde oon.“ Then the liſt of proper terms to be uſed by gentlemen and thoſe

curious in their ſpeech is of very common occurrence:

An herde of Hertis An herde of all mañ dere A pride of Lionys A ſleuth of Beeris.“ &c. &c.

This was evidently copied from ſome MS., and ends with J Ex- plicit,” and nothing more. On the next page we have the proper ‘terms for carving or dismembering beafts, fowls, and fifhes, followed pn the laft leaf by a lift of bifhoprics and provinces,

Having thus filled up all his leaves, the printer begins his third ſubject on a frefh fignature, and introduces the Liber Armorum” with the Preface (already printed). A long work on the “ Blafing of Arms follows, beginning on fig. c j, and ending on fig. f 10.

This is extremely interefting, both in matter and in the very rude woodcut reprefentations of armorial bearings with which the text is profufely illuftrated. Except in one or two cafes of uncommon tints, thefe are all colour-printed, as are the initials to paragraphs. In the Grenville copy, the preffman having forgotten to roll the “forme,” the initials all appear in that femi-tinted ftate which would be the natural refult of fuch an omiffion. We notice, too, that where the coats of arms require, say, three colours on one page, then the initials are alfo in three colours; but if only one colour is required for the arms, only one colour, and that the fame, is ufed for the initials. Occafionally, where a peculiar colour was neceffary, a brufh was ufed to infert that tint by hand.

In workmanfhip the St. Albans printer, efpecially in the Englith books, is much inferior to the contemporary iſſue from the Weft- minfter prefs. The types are worfe, the arrangement worfe, the preffwork worfe, and the ink worfe. From this point of view alone, the theory that he would print for Caxton fo much better than he did for himfelf, is not worth ferious confideration.

The Book of St. Albans went through many editions, particu- lars of which are difficult to obtain.

How did the fchoolmafter at St. Albans obtain his types? This is a puzzling queftion in the prefent {tate of palæotypography. Mr. Bradfhaw of Cambridge has, by unwearied ftudy of early printed books, thrown great light upon the connection and genealogy of numerous founts ufed by fifteenth-century printers, and ſyſtematic attention to the minute peculiarities of each printer is doubtlefs the only way in which thofe old books can be forced to yield up their fecrets ; but the tafk is immenfe, and beyond the powers of any one man to complete. Some day, however, when the palæotypography of this country, as well as of the Continental preffes, fhall have received that full technical and philofophical analyfis which time is fure to bring, the more fortunate bibliographer of the future will be able with certainty to track the footfteps and operations of the early typefounders, and will be enabled to ftate for certain to what extent Caxton and the St. Albans printer were their own typefounders, and to what extent and to whom they looked for outside help. As the cafe now ftands, we can only confefs our ignorance of where the St. Albans types came from.

CHAPTER III. The Subjects Created.

N the rude civilifation of the fifteenth century, a year's . experience of which would fend moft of us to our graves, the mental occupation as well as the bodily recreation of our anceftors was almoft confined to hunting and hawking. “Fifhing with an Angle” came in as a bad third, being too tame a purfuit for men who were no men if not men of war. Mimic war—war on the beafts of the field and the fowls of the air—war which could be purfued in times of peace, and which yet required knowledge, patience, fortitude, and courage this had great attractions, and we cannot wonder at the general popularity of thefe purfuits.

The firft treatife in the following reprint is upon Hawking, a paftime effentially ariftocratic from the great expenfe it entailed in the purchafe, breeding, and maintenance of the birds. This, indeed, coupled with the diminution of game confequent on the progrefs of civilifation and the increafe of the population, led to the gradual decadence of the fport, and nearly to its extinction in the eighteenth century, although, in very rare cafes, falconry is even now practifed.

As we have feen, one of the moft difficult objects in hawking was to obtain an eaſy command of the proper vocabulary, and fo at firſt ftart our author inftructs us in The manner to ſpeak of Hawks, from the egg.” We muft not fay a young hawk is hatched, but

The Subjecis Treated. 25

“ difclofed ;” they do not breed but eyer; it was a want of culture in any falconer to fay that hawks were building their neft, they “timbered” it. When the young could firft leave the neft they were “ Boweffes,” and when they could fly they were Branchers,” and then was the time to catch and train them.

When the young were caught, which was with nets, the firft thing was to “enfile” them, that is, to take a needle and thread and few up the eyelids,” fo that they ſee never a dele.” After a night and a day the threads were cut foftly for fear of breaking the “lyddis of the ighen,” then they were fed with well-wafhed flefh, but kept awake the next night and day, after which they were fuppofed to be tame, or “ reclaimed.”

The various difeafes to which Hawks are liable are then explained, and medicines prefcribed for them. Some of thefe are very abfurd and fome contradictory. Then comes a variety of terms for every movement and habit, for every limb or part of the body, and for almoft every feather in the plumage. In this minute defcription the author begins at the feet of the bird and fo works upwards, as when “ Knyghttis been harneffide.”

Next we are inſtructed how important it is to be careful of the manner of guiding the Hawk the firft time it is ready to nomme a partridge; how to reward her by giving her the head and neck, after which on no account is fhe to fly again till fhe has “rejoiced,” z.e., fharpened her beak and fhaken her feathers. More medicines follow, among which is how to get rid of “lies” (lice). ‘Take a piece of rough blanket and hold it to the fire till it is quite hot; wrap the hawk therein, and without hurting hold her ſoftely and ftylly’ in your hands, and all the vermin will creep into the cloth.” A happy thought this !

The ‘ Geffe,” or ftrip of leather by which the Hawk is held when carrying her on the hand, is next defcribed, together with the creance or long line. More medicines ftill, and then how to treat Hawks when “in mew,” or moulting, a matter of great importance. To promate

26 The Suljetis Treated.

“mewing give the flefh of a kid, a young fwan, and efpecially rats flesh ; ftewed adders are alſo ſtrongly recommended, or chickens which have been fed upon wheat foaked in broth of vipers.

Gout feems a common difease in various parts of the Hawk's body, which may be known by fwelling and ungladneſs; alfo rheum and fever and blains and agrum, which laft is cured by a red-hot filver needle thruft into the noftrils. Botches in the jaw fhould be kutte with a knyfe.” More terms follow for various habits and actions, the laft paragraph being upon the variety of Bells ufed for Hawks. There fhould be two, one a ſemytoyn (femitone) below the other. The Bells of Melen (Milan?) were the beft, but,” fays the author, there be now ufed Dutchland bells, of a town called durdright (Dordrecht), and they be paffing good, fonowre (fonorous) of ringing in fhrillnefs, and well lafting.”

The whole ends with a lift of various ſpecies of Hawks and their appropriatenefs to the various ftations of life, among which are—

An Eagle for an Emperor. A Merlyon for a Lady. A Gerfalcon for a King. A Gofhawk for a Yeoman. A Peregrine for an Earl. A Sparehawk for a Prieft.

A Mufkyte for “an holiwater clerke.”

The fecond treatife is upon Hunting, and has a fhort preface, which

probably came, like the firſt, from the pen of the Schoolmaſter.

The work is all in metre, and evidently intended for boys to learn by heart. It begins by telling my dere chylde the various kinds of beaft to be hunted; the changes of name they take as they grow older; the variety of horns ; how to fkin and difmember ; the various cries and noifes to be ufed ; the feafons of hunting various beafts.

Then follow inſtructions how to hunt the Hare, and what to fay to the hounds, who muft always be addreffed in French, as arere! when he enters the kennel-door; “this is the firft word, my fon, of venery.” ‘Sa facy auaunt,” “ Sweff mon amy sweff, and other fimilar cries are noted down, fome to be fhouted twice only and fome thrice,

The Subjects Treated. 27

the chief cry being So how.” The knowledge of when and how often thefe cries ſnould be ufed was moit important, as their proper uſe would bring “worfhip among all men.“ Here, apparently, in the midſt of one eſſay, another is interpolated, and we are treated to a portion of ſome old dialogue like The Maſter of the Hunt,“ in which the „Man“ afks all forts of queftions and the Maſter replies. It might indeed be dubbed The Hunter’s Catechifm.” This occupies eight pages, and then we fall back upon the original rhyme again and the inftructions of the Dame to “my childe,” ending with the Explicit” of Dam Julyans Barnes. Some leaves remaining to be filled up, the moral and other fentences, as already defcribed at page 21, were added.

Perhaps the third treatife upon Coat Armour and the Blafon of Arms is the moft interefting portion of the book. The quaintnefs of fome of the explanations is very amufing, and many people will find more points of fympathy, both hiftorical and technical, with this than with the others.

The headline, Incipit Liber Armorum,” gives us at once the title of the manufcript from which the text was compiled. Heraldry Run Mad” might indeed have been an appropriate title for this, as well as all fimilar tractates; for the author, in his anxiety to honour the fcience, does not ſcruple to take the reader back hiftorically not to Noah only, but to Adam, whofe fpade, he tells us, was the firft fhield in Heraldry, and who was the firft to bear Coat Armour. The argu- ment, if it may fo be called, is:—All “gentilnes” comes from God; there were originally in heaven ten Orders of Angels bearing Coat Armour, but now only nine, Lucifer with “mylionys of aungelis” having fallen out of heaven into hell and other places. As a bond- man might fay that all men come from Adam, fo might Lucifer fay he and his angels came from heaven.

Cain, for his wickednefs, was the firft churl, and all his offfpring were churls alfo by the curfe of God. Seth, on the other hand, was a gentleman by his father's bleſſing; Noah, too, was a gentleman by nature, but of his three ſons, Sem, Cham, and Jafeth,” Cham, for

28 The Subjects Treated.

his unfilial conduct, was made ungentle.“ The addrefs of Noah to his three fons is curious, and is thus fupplemented :—

“Of the offfpring of the gentleman Japhet came Abraham, Mofes Aaron, and the prophets, and alfo the King of the right line of Mary, of whom that gentleman Jefus was born, very God and man, after his manhood King of the land of Judah and of Jews, a gentleman by his mother Mary, and Prince of Coat Armour.”

Some fay that Coat Armour began at the fiege of Troy, but it was of far greater antiquity than that, and was founded upon the nine Orders of Angels, who were crowned each with a diadem of precious ftones—the Topaz (truth), Smaragdus (hardihood), Amethyſt (chivalry), Loys (powerful), Ruby (courageous), Sapphire (wifdom), Diamond, a black ftone (durable), Carbuncle (doughty and glorious). Theſe reprefent Gentleman, Squire, Knight, Baron, Lord, Earl, Marquis, Duke, and Prince. Here we probably have the origin of the fhape pf various crowns and coronets. Everything is treated in nines, and the nine virtues and nine vices of gentlenefs follow, with nine rejoic- ings, nine articles that every knight fhould keep, and nine manner of gentlemen, in which we learn that the Evangelifts and Apoftles were all gentlemen of the right line of that worthy conqueror, Judas Machabeus, who in courfe of time had fallen to labour, and fo were not called gentlemen. The four doctors of the Church—St. Jerome Ambrofe, Auguftine, and Gregory—were alfo gentlemen of blood and of Coat Armour. There are nine differences of Coat Armour and nine quadrats, all of which are explained. The Blafyng of Arms” comes next, the preface to which is by the author, and not by the printer. It begins with the varieties of the Crofs as borne in arms, each being illuftrated by a rude woodcut printed in its proper colours, and the blafon, or technical defcription of each is given in Latin, French, and Englifh. All varieties of arms follow, with the myfteries o! bends, engrail, borders, chequers, balls, cakes, rings, &c., offering but little which can be quoted, but forming an interefting and ufeful book of reference.

CHAPTER IV.

Philologp.

HERE is a ſtrongly marked individuality in the ſpelling 4 throughout all the treatifes in this work. If the Hunting rhymes belong to Dam Julyans, their ortho- graphy, like the profe portions, is that of the School- << mafter, who appears to have been a North-countryman, many words leading to that conclufion. The formation of the plural by adding the letters is or “ys” ftrikes the attention at once. Thus the plural of bells is bellis; egg, eggis; vetch, fetchis; fulmert, ful- mertis; hawk, hawkys; herd, herdys; person, personys, and so on. The change of a y at the end of a word to an: is common, as onli, fofteli, unthretti ; and for if; algate; awth for all the; bowke; chylder; clepit ; clees; knaw ; ken; yowre; and many others are Northern. As might be expected, many Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman words now obfolete are found, fuch as benymme, blynne, byzete, canell, clepit, colver, dagon, gobbit, kawe, kydde, liggen, merde, nafethrils, nym,* raton, and many others.

The following vocabulary will fhow the chief words in which peculiarity of ſpelling or dialect are noticeable :—

We have now traced the various aſpects in which this curious work may be viewed. There is not one of them that would not repay much deeper ftudy, and the reader will, doubtlefs, fympathife with the writer in the wifh that more could be difcovered concerning the {choolmafter-printer. That his pioneer attempts to eftablifh a printing prefs met with many difcouragements was a matter of courfe; and, doubtlefs, he had many technical, bufinefs, and even focial difficulties to overcome; for a reading public had to be created and patronage was fcantily afforded. Neverthelefs he ftruggled on for at leaft feven years, as we learn from the dates on his books, and whatever may have been his fhortcomings, either as author or as printer, the fact of his having been one of the earlieft promoters in this country of the grandeft difcovery which the mind of man has yet made, will unite all of us in honouring the memory and reſpecting the name, fhadowy though it be, of the “Scole mayfter of St. Albon.” |
