tation, but the words vas de gemma are added at the be-
ining. In EE (Ep. 2 C 27 = C. G. L. v 340, 53) it has been cut
\vn to these three words, so that Corpus is (in this case) the
issing link between Leid. and EE. The difficulty of the item
ublicani disappears if we allow the same mistake with the same
marginalia for Leid. and Corpus, Publicani: qui publicam rem
faciunt, non a peccando (Leid. § 24, 6, from the section assigned
to Matthew glosses; Corp. P 870). I take it that two annotations
on such a verse as Mat. ix 10 (where publicani and peccatores
are mentioned together) have been fused into one: Publicani:
qui publicam rem faciunt, Peccatores: nomen a peccando. As
sample
of Bible batches in EE take the first of the three in the
P-section: (Ep. 19 A 5-17 = C. G. L. v 380, 16-28) Poderem tunicam
(Sirach 27, 9), Pinnaculum (Mat. 4, 5), Per crepidinem
(Judith 7, 3), Polenta (Judith 10, 5, etc.), Palathas (ibid.), Placentas
(Jerem. 7, 18), Praetoriola (Ezech. 27, 6), Postica (Dan.
13, 18), Polenta (2 Reg. 17, 28), Panis collyris (2 Reg. 6, 19),
Poa laventium (Malach. 3, 2 herba fullonum), Parta(?), Pulvinar
(Ezech. 13, 18). A trivial irregularity in Leid. is worth mention,
for it is such things that give a clue to a compiler's method.
Section 15, containing some fifty glosses and di\'ided into two
portions, is assigned to Ezechiel. But a Hosea batch intrudes
(nos. 32-36) at the end of the first portion (immediately before
the ITEM ALIA). There follows a section on Daniel (§ 16) and
a section on the Minor Prophets (§ 17); then a Hosea section
{§ 18) headed de osee specialiter, in which these intruders are
repeated. The slip suggests that the compiler had before him
not a Bible MS. (for Hosea does not follow Daniel immediately),
but merely 'glossae collectae.'
Of the other authors represented in Leid. a mere mention will
suffice, since they have not supplied enough material to EE for
batches : Cassiodore's Commentary on the Psalter (Leid. § 28, ii;
its few contributions stand as a rule after the Phocas batches and
at the very end of the EE i sections, e.g. C. G. L. v 354, 62-64;
359, 27-29; 361, 45-48 =
Ep. 9 E 34-36); Jerome's Commentarjon
the Gospel of Saint Matthew (Leid. § 29), Isidore De Natura
Rerum (Leid. §§ 27 and 44; but § 44, rather excerpts than glosses,
has no connexion with EE), Gregory's Dialogues (Leid. § 39, 1-48),
