Author: M. R. James

HENRY THE SIXTH - CONTENTS - PREFACE . . . . PAGE vii TEXT . . I TRANSLATION . . . 23 NOTES - 45 SPECIAL NOTES I. A PRAYER TO HENRY V1 IN ENGLISH VERSE . - 50 11. ON THE MANUSCRIPT MIRACLES OF HENRY VI. - 51 111. ON JOHN BLACMANS BOOKS . 55 -- PREFACE -- THE tract on the Personality of King Henry V1 as I may perhaps be allowed to call it, which ... more »is here reprinted, has hitherto been almost inaccessible to ordinary students. It is not known to exist at all in manuscript. We depend ultimately for our - know-ledge of it upon a printed editioh issued by Robert Coplande of London, of which the date is said to be 1510. Of this there may be two copies in existence. This text was reprinted by Thomas Hearne in I 732, in his edition of the Chronicles of Thomas Otterbourne and John Whethamstede, of which I 50 copies were issued. I have here reprinted Hearnes text, and have collated it with Coplandes. This 1 was enable to do through the great kindness of the authorities of St Cuthberts College at Ushaw, who most generously lent me a copy of the tract preserved in their Library. This copy I will endeavour to describe. It is in a modern binding lettered Hyltons Lives of British Saints. Blackmans Life of Henry 71. The XVIII pressmark is c 4 7 The size is I 85 X I 30 mm. There are 32 lines to a full page Colhtion A B. Sigqatures A I 2 not signed A III 426 not signed. . B I 2 not signed B 111 4 not signed. Ab I a has the titIe at top 4 Collectarium Mansuetudinum et bonorum morum regis Henri . i V I. ex collecti6e magistri Joannis blak man bacchalarei the0 logie et post Car tusie monachi Londini. Below this is a woodcut measuring qg X 76, and representing a bearded king in hat with crown about it, clad in ermine tippet, and dalmatic over long robe. . He holds a closed book in his R. hand, a sceptre in his L. on the L. wrist is a maniple. His head is turned towards R. On R. a tree, plants across the foreground a mound on L. with two trees seen over it. I feel confident that the woodcut is not intended for a portrait of Henry VI, and that it really represents some Old Testament personage but I have not attempted-to trace it in other books. It has a border in three pieces. Those on R. and L. are I 15 mm. in height and contain small figures of prophets standing on tall shafts that at bottom was designed to be placed vertically, and contains a half-length figure of a prophet springing out of foliage, and with foliage above. On A I b the woodcut is repeated without the border. Then follows the text as given by me. After it, on B IV a, is Robert Coplandes device, measuring 80 X 95 a wreath of roses and . leaves, comprised within two concentric circles within it the printers mark. Outside in the upper L. corner a rose slipped and leaved in the upper R. corner, a pomegranate. Below, a scroll inscribed Robert rose Coplande. On B IV b the woodcut of the king, without border. Below it, in a neat hand . R. Johnson. prec. I . For the rest, the volume contains Capgraves New Legende, beginning imperfectly in the Table De S. Esterwino abbate. fo. xxxviii. This is preceded by two inserted leaves of paper on the first are the missing items of the Table, supplied in a rough hand of cent. XVI. On the second, in a hand of cent. XVIII, is Printed at London by Richard Pynson Printer to the Kings Noble Grace the 20th day of February I 5 I 6. Vid. Page I 33...
