46 THE CHUR BREVIARY OF 1490. Diocese, a chamois. The verso of the leaf contains the Bishop's preface, for which see below. Leaf [8] is missing. This preliminary quire was perhaps followed by two leaves containing a table of contents for the whole book. 2. Ff. 9-58 (?), sigs. a-d 8 [e-g. 6 ?]: c psalterium cum hymnis,' etc. Of this section a 1-8, b i, d 4-7, and all after e 2, is wanting, and the above collation is a guess based on the matter of the 1520 edition. 3. Ff. 59-154, sigs. Aa 8 , Bb 6 , Cc-Gg 8 , Hh, Ii 6 , Kk 8 , LI 6 , Mm, Nn 8 : c pars aestiualis de tempore.' Leaves 59 and 154 are blank. 4. Ff. 155-70, sigs. JJ& 8 : a section headed * Dominica prima post octauas Corporis Christi,' containing apparently the lessons, collects, etc., for the Sundays after Corpus Christi. This section is not kept separate in the 1520 edition. 5. Ff. 171-302, sigs. Oo 6 , Pp-Tt 8 , Vv, Xx 6 , Yy, Zz, aa, bb 8 , cc 6 , dd, ee 8 , ff, gg 10 : 'pars aestiualis de sanctis,' to which is appended the 'Gaude Regina' and the office c de translatione s. Lucii regis ' ; these latter follow on the 'Psalter' in the 1520 edition. Leaf 302 is blank. 6. Ff. 303-30, sigs. aa 8 , bb 6 , cc 8 , dd 6 : 'commune sanctorum.' Leaf 330 (wanting) blank. 7. Ff. [331-34] : c vigiliae mortuorum, cursus B.V.M.' These also follow on the c Psalter ' in the 1 520 edition. The complete volume seems thus to have contained 334 leaves, or 336 if a table of contents be assumed. B. Three types were employed in printing the Breviary a title type of about 180 mm. to 20 lines, used only for the headings to the preface and calendar, and two text types of about 92 mm. to 20 lines, differing in face, but cast on the same body, as is so often the case with founts designed for liturgical work. The title type and the heavier of the two text types appear to tally exactly with
