X PREFACE,
trum, Gem 1656. p. 16, and Sixtus Sinensis Bibl. Sauc.
Col. lib. iv. p. 218, c.] was first made complete by
Wharton, who, in his reprint [4to, Lond. 1693] of Bede's
Opera qumdam Historica, first published by Ware, Dub.
1664, inserted the supplementary portion from an ancient
MS. in the library of Lambeth Palace. It was about the
same time published in Martene's Thesaur. Anecdot.
v. 115. Smith, Baronins, and Wharton, divide the work
into four books, but in some of the manuscripts it is comprised
in three.
The treatise is dedicated to Acca, Bishop of Hexham,
and contains an interpretation of the first twenty chapters
of Genesis, and ten verses of the twenty-first. It is here
reprinted from Martcne's Thesaurus, which is more full
than the edition of Wharton, as the editor has not been
ab]e to collate any fresh manuscripts.
De tabernaculo et vasis ejus, ae vestibus Sacerdotum,
libri m.
This is an allegorical commentary on Exodus xxiv. 12,
to xxx. 21. It occurs in the folio editions of the works,
[Basil. iv. 1166--1280. Col. iv. 838--916.] and is called
in the catalogue of Sixtus Sinensis, lib. iv. p. 219, A.
Expositio in Exodum a xxiv. capite usque ad trigesimum,
de tabernaculo, &c.
The present edition is based on a collation of the Basle
printed text, with four MSS., the first of which, preserved
in the British Museum, [Reg. V. F. vi.] has been collated
as far as the end of the first book: the second and third
are manuscripts found in the public library at Boulogne
sur Met; the former of these has been collated from the
words "Comedetis vetustissima veterum," near the end
of the first book to the end of the second book; the latter,
which is less correct, from the beginning of the third book
