1 These entries are in the different ink. 2 I believe that the now-received day of death of Henry I. is Dec. 1. But our Obituarist is far from being alone in his Dec. 2. For instance, Ordericus Vitalis, while in two cases (i. 24; xiii. 19) placing Henry's death on kal. Dec., yet in another case (xi. 5) places it on 4th Non. It is 4th Non. in William of Jumièges (684, 1. 30, Camden); in the Hexham Chronicles (62 and 113, Surtees Soc.), where also the day of the week is added,-" quarto 66 nonas Decembris, feria secunda ;" and again, in the Continuation of Flor. Worc. (ii. 95 and 97, Engl. Hist. Soc.). Malmsbury has, " Cal. "Decembris, qua nocte discessit," and "Nocte jam intempesta naturæ "cessit" (100 b, ll. 21 and 36, Savile). He died, it would seem, late in the evening of December 1, which by some would be reckoned as December 2. 3 This entry is in the different ink. This Gerardus is probably the "Magister Gerardus canonicus" of the Catalogue, infra, 166, 1. 30. 4 Roger, bishop of Salisbury, was uncle of bishop Alexander of Lincoln. But the reason of his name being included in this Obituary, no doubt, was that he was a benefactor to Lincoln. He seems to have given the church of Langford, Oxfordshire (?), and land there, as confirmed by charter of Henry II. : Reg. Antiquiss., f. 25 b, and Dugdale, No. 57. The first archdeacon of Leicester, appointed by Remigius, was a Ralph (Any. Sac., ii. 696, 1. 7); the second archdeacon of Bedford was a Ralph, "miserande occisus" (Ibid. 1. 15). To which of these this entry belongs, I cannot say. 165 APPENDIX C. CATALOGUE OF BOOKS, 12TH CENTURY, LINCOLN Liber sanctæ Mariæ Lincolniensis.

Sac. ii. 696, l. 2). But there is said to have been another archdeacon Nicholas of Huntingdon, whose name occurs in 1155 and 1184 (Hardy's Le Neve), who possibly may have been the donor of this Bible.
