REVIEW OF ENGLISH STUDIES The Hatton and e Musaeo manuscript
collections are important donations given to the Bodleian Library
during its formative years in the seventeenth century. The Hatton
collection, assembled by Christopher, first Baron Hatton,was
largely acquired by the Bodleian Library in 1671. Among its Middle
English prose manuscripts are religious texts, including Nicholas
Love's Mirror of the Blessed Life of Jesus Christ, commentaries by
Richard Rolle on the psalms and ten commandments, chronicles such
as the Brut and an assortment of manuscripts ranging from political
prophecies and grammar treatises to compendia of medical recipes.
The e Musaeo collection, so called because it was originally an
eclectic group of manuscripts stored in the librarian's study, also
contains a variety of significant Middle English texts. They range
from the religious and devotional: a Wycliffite New Testament,
Love's Mirror, and Heinrich Suso's treatise The Seven Points of
True Love and Everlasting Wisdom); to the scientific and medicinal:
Chaucer's Astrolabe, Henry Daniel's Liber Uricrisiarum; and to the
historical, notably the Brut and Mandeville's Travels. Patrick J.
Horner, FSC (a De LaSalle Christian Brother) is Professor of
English at Manhattan College.
