Pepys 2498 in the library of Magdalene College, Cambridge. The MS. is erroneously catalogued1 and labelled as a collection of Wycliffe's sermons. The real contents were first dis- covered in 1902 by Miss A. C. Paues of Newnham College, Cambridge, and made known by her in Vol. XXX of the Englische Studien,2 and further in her A Fourteenth Century English Biblical Version? A more detailed description of the volume was given in 1907 by W. H. Hulme,4 and still more recently by J, Pahlsson.5 Contents. The volume contains eight separate works : 1. pp. la-43a (No title). The Harmony of the Gospels now printed for the first time. 2. pp. 45a-212b (No original title 6). a litel treti$ of diuinite to turn man from romances and gestes, wherein he lese]> mychel of his tyme pat so settep his hert /ram god, and to give him instead ping pat is profitable hope to lyf 8f to soule. 3. pp. 212b-226b (Title in red).

This is the earliest of the nine known MSS. of the Middle English prose versions of this Gospel.6 Description. Judging from the writing, Dr. Montague James considers that the MS. belongs to about the year 1400. This date also tallies with a note 7 on p. 370 of the volume : Tlie age of this book, by conferring with an other coppy, was wretten when k henry the. If, had busines agayste the toelshmen.

The volume is arranged in quires of 8 leaves each, as is indicated by catchwords, which occur regularly on every sixteenth page, except at the end of the third and the twenty-third quires, which contain 14 and 11 leaves respectively. The MS. is numbered by pages in a recent handwriting, and the first leaf of each quire also bears its number (in pencil). The folio has recently been re-backed and each page now measures 13|- x 9T9F inches. The MS. is written in double columns of 54 lines in a bold and clear 1 hand which is the same throughout. The ink varies from jet black to dark brown. In the Harmony it is wholly brown, though elsewhere generally black. But the titles, paragraph headings, Latin quotations, and, occasionally, English words and phrases together with the original 2 marginal notes are in red ink. In the Harmony the headings only are in red, and these are indicated in the printed text by the use of a larger type. The ornamentation of the MS. is simple. Each separate work begins 3 with an ornamented capital, 4-12 MS.-lines deep,4 coloured blue, or blue and red, and standing out in bold relief against a back- ground of fine rod, or red and violet, pen-work ; while similar capitals, though smaller B and less ornate, mark the subdivisions of each work. The MS. is bound in brown leather. Its front cover is adorned with one of Pepys' book-plates imprinted in gold, and showing by its decoration and inscription the connection of Pepys with the Admiralty, The decoration consists chiefly of two anchors entwined with ropes, and the inscription is : SAM. PEPYS CAR. ET I AC ANGL. REGIB. A SECRETIS ADMIRALI^E.8 On the back cover, similarly imprinted, is his armorial book-plate, with the motto : MENS CUJUSQUE IS EST QUISQUE 1 Except that e ; o, c ; t, and n : u, are often ambiguous. 8 For marginalia and other insertions not in the original handwriting, cf. Pahlsson, op. cit., pp. viii-xi. s Except the fourth (incij?. p. 226b), and the fifth (incip. p. 263b), whose initial capitals are beautifully drawn, but not coloured. 4 The initial 0 of the Harmony occupies 12 MS.-lines. * In the Harmony these smaller capitals are almost invariably 3 MS.-lines deep, with the exception of p and /: p varies botween 4 and 13 MS.-lines, and / between 5 and 9. • Cf.

I have not yet been able to discover the immediate source of tlio Pepysian Harmony; but that it was French, and not Latin, is almost if not absolutely proved by the striking evidence of vocabulary and phraseology. In the expression And bo Ugonnen hij []>]at helden Jesu forto cracchen lujm (93.33-34), the word cracchen1 (OF. crachier, 'to spit') is peculiarly interesting, since there is no other known example of its use in English.2 Again, in the phrase to yuen her chateux in to be temple (49.18-19), we have the only case on record in which the Anglo- French legal term chateux, ' goods,' ' chattels,' is used non-technically.3 There are also certain curious verbal errors which are most likely mistranslations of a French original. The most remarkable of these is oriole, which occurs in the expression, And Jesus was ]>o a slepe biltinde in be scliipp in an oriole (21.18-19). The corresponding Vulgate is supra cervical dormiens (Mc. iv, 38), which the Later Wycliffite Version* rightly renders 'sleeping on a pillow.' The word oriole, which means ' porch ' or ' passage,' is apparently due to a misreading of the Old French word for ' pillow,' which is oreille(e).6 A similar error occurs in the following : — And Jesus entred in to on of be schippes, \at was Simondes faders. Here Simondes faders, 17.25-26 (Vulg. Simonis, Lc. v, 3) is probably a mistranslation of the Anglo-French de or a simon pers — the MS. contraction for pent, ' Peter,' being misread as pere, ' father.' Again, in the passage : — \)o com a man to Jesu and of rede Itym children, ]>at lie schulde touchen hem and blissen hem. And Jesus deciples recu[s]eden hem \at hem offreden (67.23-26), the contradiction between a man and hem pat . . . offreden is very likely due to a mistranslation of the French indefinite pronoun on, since in Old French many of the forms for on and homme were identical, e. g. OF. on, hon, omrne, horn. At the marriage feast in Cana of Galilee, when the Virgin Mary noticed the lack of wine, Jesus said, \>e man teas nou$t ^ut comen pat scholde scheme his power, 12.9-10 (Vulg. nondum venit hora mea . . . Joh. ii, 4). This translation man for hour is probably due to the misreading of OF. (h)ore as (h)on. Cf. 76.29, where be wers ■ 1 Cf. craccheden, 97.22. B cracchen not in N.E.D. 3 The only example of this form quoted in N.E.D. is: — 1389 Eng, Qilds (1870) 53, To certefyen jou of godes & chateux. 4 Edit.

Pauos. m XV Digitized by Google Oriqinal from PRINCETON UNIVERSITY xvi Introduction (Vulg. lapidesl Lc. xix, 40) points to a similar confusion between F, pire and pierres. No less than three times it would seem that OF. level' and laver have been confused. (1) ' Jch,' he setde, 'lyfte yrn of pe icatere for penaunce,' 9.32-33 {Vulg. Ego quidem vos baptizo in aqua in paenitevtiam, Mt. iii, 11). (2) for as mychel as Jesus ne aros nouyth tofore "pat he ete, 40. 1 0-1 1 (Vulg. quare non baptizatus esset ante prandiam, Lc. xi, 38). (3) And Jesus po to hem seide which of hem it were pat nolde no^th wasche his schepe vpon pe sabat $if it were fallen in a foule diche, 37.29-31 (Vulg. Ipse autem dixit Mis Quis erit ex vobis homo qui habeat ovem unam, et si ceciderit haec sabbatis in foveam, nonne tenebit et levabit earn ? Mt. xii, 11). Another mistranslation of the same kind is apparently due to OF. foudre having been read as poudre, with the result that Satan is said to have fallen from heaven, not as lightning (Vulg. Videbam satanam sicut fulgur de caelo cadentem, Lc. x, 18), but as dust: — 'ich seij Sathan als dust falle fram heuene,' 34.20. In a previous discourse Jesus is said to have bidden his disciples to be wyse as seint Petre and symple as a douue, 30.14-15 (Vulg. Estote ergo prudentes sicut serpentes, et simplices sicut columbae, Mt. x, 16). The curious mistranslation seint Petre is probably due to OF. serpentes, in its contracted MS. form, being mistaken for A-F. 8. Pers. A further witness to a French source is the use of he, instead of it, with reference to pe temple ( F. le temple), 84.10, and pe wynde (F. le vent), 21.24; both obvious retentions of the French gender. The context is : (1) And als he went out of be temple, so comen his deciples and scheweden hym how he was riche tj- good 4' strong, 84.9-11. (2) And also suipe Jesus comaunded be wynde and pe see forto be stille and pat he ne blew nomore; and also sone it was stille, 21.23-25. Cf. 54.1, where the second hym refers to ]>e werlde. The story of Hou pat JJiesus reised pe wedewes dou3tter from dep to lyue, 30. § 29, is a curious case of persistent error.1 The passage corresponds to the raising of the widow's son at Nain (Lc. vii, 11-18). On the hypothesis that the substitution of doubter for the traditional son is merely a scribal error,2 the case for a French as against a Latin 1 For an account of a similar error in a fourteenth-century translation of the liturgical gospels, see Deanesly, M , 17ie Loll-ard Bible, Camb. Univ. Press, 1920, p. 181. 3 But it is more likely to be a case of direct translation from French. Since the type for the above was set up, Miss Mabel Day has kindly drawn my atten- tion to an O.F. Gospel Harmony which resembles the Middle English one in the same striking divergence from canonical tradition : 'Et quewit il vint alentrce de le chite si encontra vne biere & se gisoit dedens le fille a vue veue femme qui morte estoit . . . et chele se drecha tantost & fu toute garie & saine.' — Brit. Mus. MS. Roy. 20, A. xiii, fol. 40 a. no ^ LTi N if CD 3 (J a. rv • ^h C^ C\C\Ci\c> Oriqinal from by VjUUgU. PRINCETON UNIVERSITY r^ £ 10 9 3 9 s no ^ 3 ^ O -a £ S CO CD Introduction xvii source is strengthened by the fact that while the Vulgate account employs six words indicative of gender : — -films, unicus, defuncius, mortuus, ilium and Hit, French translations of the Vulgate normally use only three, as in the following fifteenth-century account1 : — Quant il aprocha a la forte de la cite len portoit un cors qui estoit mors qui estoit fify dune fame qui nauoit plus denfans Sf ele estoit nueue et grant tourbe de la cite o lui. Quant nostres sires la mo il fu men de misericorde.

Here the only evidence of the widow's child being a son lies in the words fil^, al'1 and le. The English translator, working probably on a similar narrative, perhaps misread OF. ^3 as file (OF. fille, 'daughter'), and having begun the story in terms of doubter continued it consistently to the end, changing the gender of al and le to correspond. Another illustration of close kinship with a French source is the following : — And \>ou, he seide, sum tyme turne ayein arid conforte \i bretheren, 88.6-7. This rendering is clearly much nearer to : — Sf tu auownefois tome vers Us freres 4' les conferme,3 or to : — § tu aucune fois tournes vers tes freres § les confermes* tlian to the Vulgate : — et tu aliquando conversus confirma fratres tuos (Lc. xxii, 32). Further evidence of a French source is afforded by the following idiomatic phrases : — And he reproued hem \>at wolden hym slee, and scheived hem ]>at hij hadden wrong, 54.11-13 (cf. F. avoir tort). tj* ]>orou$ ]>at skyl went Joseph [$•] Marie his spouse . . . vnto Bed- leem forto make reconischannce in his owen cite, 4. 33-5. 2 (cf. Lc. ii, 4). The expression/orfo make reconischaunce is taken from OF. f aire recon- noissance. There is no other example of the phrase in Middle English.5 Uou Jhesus turned be heued to $acheus, 4' tolde hym an ensample of X besaunt^, 70, § 77, heading (cf. F. tourner la tete).

After wardes \an ekes Jesus hym sexti & twelue disciples, ib. 11. 19-20. This rendering of the Vulg. sepluaginta duos (Lc. x, 1), is apparently due to OF, sexante do$e (also duse, doce, dose, douse, dotfe, dwfie), F, soixante-douze. And bo com a womman and avised hir of seint Petre (92.28). This reflexive use of avised with of, meaning 'observed,' 'watched/ is evidently borrowed from the F. s'aviser de. The corresponding Vulgate is vidit eum alia, Mt. xxvi, 71. The above evidence for a French source is further strengthened by the strong French element in the vocabulary, especially by the presence of certain somewhat uncommon loan-words, e.g. : — sfte hadde done \at dede in ]>e honoura[n]ce of his buryinge, 75.20-21. (OF. honorance, onnourance). Hou Jhesus heled a womman ]>at was bocched,1 42. § 44, heading. (ON-F. boche = OF. boce, 'ulcer'). hij scholden fei^e ]>e aprise of \e Phariseus, 52.2-1-25. aprise, ' learning ' = OF. aprise, the substantive use of the fern. sing, of apris, p. p. of aprendre, ' to learn.' (The corresponding Latin is doctrina Pharisaeorum, Mt. xvi, 12.) Yblissed be be bonair, 26.30 (Vulg. Bead mites, 'Blessed be the meek,' Mt. v, 5). \e feste of loges, 53.18. OF. loge means 'arbour' or 'hut.' (The corresponding Latin Avoid is scenopegia, ' feast of Tabernacles,' Joh. vii, 2.) And \>o comen \e wymmen towardes be sepulchre in \at gardyne, and sei$en an aungel . . . ycladde in a white chesible, 103.3-6. A curious use of OF. chesible. (The Vulg. has stola Candida, lie. xvi, 5.) The Pharisees are described as being liche be graues \at ben daubed and made f aire mpouten and stunken wipinne (82.10-11) — an amplification of the Vulg. similes . . . sepulchris dealbatis (Mt. xxiii, 27). The OF. verb, is dauber. In Jn's gentil womman, 42.27, we have OF. gentilfemme. (The corresponding Latin is Hanc auiemfiliam Abrahae, Lc. xiii, 16.) Thus the cumulative evidence of vocabulary, phraseology, and especially of those curious divergences from the Vulgate which I have called mistranslations, all clearly indicates a French text as the immediate source of the Gospel Harmony. 1 N.E.D. quotes only one example of the use of the verb botch with the abovo meaning : 1699, Young Hylas, botch'd with Stains loo foul to name. n- ■• ^h C^ c\c\n\c> Oriqinalfram by VjUUgU.

It is true that the pres. part. -(e)ande : ende : yng(e) = 65 : 7 : 13, § 76, points to a North Midland or West Midland origin, but though the ending -ande is chiefly found in the North and West, " it also occurs frequently in the Norfolk Gilds (Schultz, p. 36 ft.), in Cap- grave's works and occasionally in the Paston Letters and other Eastern documents (cf. Dibelius, Anglia, xxiv. p. 255 § 301a)." The pret. of weak verbs regularly retains personal endings both in the sing, and plur. §§ 77, 78. The prefix y- frequently appears in the past. part. § 79, and 9 different nouns have adopted the -n plur. § 52. The genitive ending is 5 times lacking, but on the other hand there are 5 cases in which the inflection is fully kept, e. g. sonenday, etc., § 51, and in haluendel § 54, the O.E. ending of the ace. sing, is retained. With regard to pronouns, though the Northern form sche ' she ' appears throughout the text § 58, the Southern forms ich, hij, hem, greatly predominate over the Northern j, pai, pern § 58. O.E. g is regularly written i (y), though the old sound, written u, is sometimes retained, and a few e- forms occur §§ 8, 15. O.E. So appears as e, ee §§ 19, 28. non-W.S. e, W.S. £ appear shortened as e, also a, § 69, dredde, dradde. Isolated examples of peculiarly South Midland forms are quop and quod § 3 (a), see Morsb. § 96.

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY ID S 5 no 3 ^ O -a £ B CO CD RELATION OF THE HARMONY TO THE CANONICAL GOSPELS In one kind of Gospel Harmony the several accounts of the four Evangelists are woven into a continuous narrative, while in the other the text of the Gospels is arranged in parallel columns, the corresponding sections being placed side by side. The first kind is the more primitive. It dates back as far as c. 160 A.i)., when Tatian wrote his famous Diatessaron. The Pepysian Harmony is also a Sia reo-crdpiDv, the aim of its compiler — or compilers — being to present the life of Christ i*ecorded in the four Gospels as an organic whole, set forth in the simplest language possible. Little therefore is omitted, little is added, and the deviations from the text of the original are mostly verbal and always in the direction of greater simplicity. Omissions. — The genealogies of Christ, for instance, are omitted as irrelevant ; also S. Luke's preface to Theophilus and most of S« Matthew's quotations from the Old Testament. Deviations. — Deviations from the original have generally been made either for the sake of brevity or clearness. Some of the discourses and parables are so briefly summarised as to be hardly recognisable. The whole of the discourse contained in Ioh. viii, 12-58, for example, is represented by these few words : — And po bigan Jesus to prone pat he was Goddes son, and pat hij weren pe deuels children, and nouyt Abraham sones (55.27-29). The parable of the labourers in the vineyard (cf. Mt. xx, 1-16) is reduced to -.—And panne tolde Jesus hem an ensaumple of a man pat brouith werk men in to his vyner. And he paied hem pat comen late raper, Sf als mykel ^af hem as hem pat comen first (69.2-6). Occasionally, as in the account of the marriage feast of the king's son (cf. Mt. xxii, 1-15), the summary is incomplete : — And sipen tolde hem Jesus pe pridde tale of a kyng pat helde his sones fest. And po pat he hadde bod-en to pe fest, chidden and slow^en his seruaunt$ whan hij comen after hem (79.26-29). In the case of such well-known canticles as the Benedicttis and xlv Digilized by Google Oriqinal from PRINCETON UNIVERSITY xlvi Introduction the Magnificat, eitliev the first few words .are given, or the canticle is merely referred to by name : — Benedict us Dominus Deus Israel (4.20) ; po ansuered Marie Sf ponked God and seide pe psalme of Magnificat al out (3.31-32) : similarly with the Pater noster — which Jesus bad his disciples say cntentifiich § u'ip goode wille (36.18-19). Throughout his work, the Harmonist aims at presenting the Gospel story as clearly and simply as possible ; anything that might be unfamiliar is generally explained either by definition or homely parallel. Explanation by definition, — The Pharisees are described as pe folk of religioun in pat tyme (9.6) ; the publicans as pe hepene bayliues seruauntj (9.17) ; the Samaritans as those pat in on half iceren Jewes §■ in anoper half hij weren pay ens (15.10-11); the centurion as conestuble ouer an hundrep kniyttes (100.9); and a legion as that which amounted sex pousande and sex hundrep and sexti and sex (22.1-2). Explanation by homely jwraWeZs. — Even more characteristic than the tendency to define, is the habit of replacing Biblical words and phrases by more homely equivalents. S. John the Baptist did not eat 'locusts and wild honey ' (Mt. iii, 4), but 'garlic and bryony' — ramesones and wilde-nepes (9.4). In the account of the marriage feast in Cana of Galilee, the stone water-pots which held 'two or three firkins apiece' (lob., ii, 6) are described as sexe boketcs pat pe gode man 4" al pe meigne loesshen of, euerilch of pe mesure of pre galouns (12.12-13). It is also curious to note that after pe gode man had tasted the water turned to wine, he Bummoned, not the 'bridegroom' (Job. ii, 9), but the 'butler' — he cleped pe bo tiler (12.19). When Mary Magdalene recognised her newly-risen Lord in the garden on Easter morning, she did not say 'Kabboni' (lobs xx, 16), but she fel adoun to his feete and seide ' Ha ! Swete sir ' (103.36-37). In another place we read that when Jesus, as He hung upon the cross, sei$ his moder and John, his deeiple pat Tie loued so mychel, stonde pere, Jhesus seide to his moder : ' Womman, loo ! pere pi son.' And sipen he seide to seint John : ' Loo ! pere pi moder' And from pat tyme fcn'pwardes seint John resceyued hire, and kepte Mr als his moder (98.25-30) — kepte hir als his moder corresponds to the Vulgate, 'accepit in sua' (lob, xix, 27). A similar example is Christ's answer to the disciples' request that they might call down fire from heaven to burn certain Samaritans who had refused to receive Him. Jesus turned to the disciples and £ S O -a £ B £1 ID -C 9 3 S * Digilized by GoOgle Oriqinal from PRINCETON UNIVERSITY r^ £ ID -C 9 3 9 s no ^ 3 l/> O -a £ S CO CD Introduction xlvii said, not f Ye knoAV not what manner of spirit ye are of (Lc. ix, 55), but ' Ne witen je nou^th hou je sclwlden here $ou swetelich fy soft ? ' (61.9-10). It is evident that the Harmonist had a keen eye for the things of earth as well as of heaven. He was not content to say ' all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them' (Mt. iv, 8) : the glory at once shaped itself into wodes fy feldes fy tounes (10.27-28). As for the Pharisees, hij weren liche \>e graues pat ben daubed and made fairs ivipouten, and stimken ivipinne (82.9-11) ! The Harmouist's habit of interpreting the past in terms of the life of his own day is also shown in his treatment of words connected with the Church. The Jewish ' high priest ' (Vulgate ' pontifex,' ' priuceps sacerdotum') is invariably rendered lriss(c)hop(p) (93.11, 21, 28; 94.1-2), genit. bisscliopes (92.14); the Passover, though usually referred to as the fest of p>ask (13.16 etc.), is four times called the fest{e) of ester, or estren (12.26; 75.1; 86.3; 87.1): hei^e auter(e) is the name given both to the 'Holy of Holies' (100.6), and to the 'altar of incense' (2.1), while euensong(e) tyme (21.14; 46.22; 100.30, etc.) is the regular expression for 'evening.' It is interesting to note that the angel who, on the morning of the Resurrection, appeared syttande (105.5) on pe ri^th half of pe sepulchre (103.5) is described as being ycladde in a white chesible (103.5-6) — a white 'chasuble,' as if he were a priest. The Vulgate reading is : 'stola Candida' (Mc. xvi, 5). Additions, — The Harmonist's additions to the Gospel story often take the form of short phrases introduced for the sake of emphasis, or explanation. Additions for the sake of emphasis. — "We are told that Jesus turned wel suetelich (55.23) towards the woman accused of adultery, and that, after He had blessed His disciples, he kyssed hem alle by and by : and amonges hem seeande vchone, he stei^ vp to heuene, and tweie aungels on ilch syde of hym (11214-17). The blind man whom Jesus had restored to sight on the Sabbatli, when questioned by the indignant Pharisees, answered so swetelich and so dignelich for Jesus sake, pat for pure jre hij dryuen hym away (56.7-9). After the cock had crowed S. Peter went out and wept, not only wel sore (93,6), but also tenderlich1 (ib.). 1 Mandeville's Travels, Warner, G. F., Eoxburghe Club, 1889, p. 46, I. 33, 1 Et la est lo lieu (i. e. Mount Sion) ou seint Piere ploroit mult tendrement.' Digilized by GoOgle Oriqinal from PRINCETON UNIVERSITY xlviii Introduction When Jesus called ' Marie' she knew Him by his voice (103.36). Martha is not allowed to fall behind her sister Mary in devotion to her Lord : she too fel to his feete (73.16) when she greeted Him outside Bethany (cf. 73.31-32). At the simultaneous coining of the gret erpe dyne (102.8) and the angel with a visage ah rede as fyre (102.10), the keepers of the sepulchre weren alle abaischt & fellen adoune for drede, ri^th als pax Jiadden ben dede (102.12-13). Another addition showing how vividly the Harmonist visualised the Gospel story occurs when Jesus gyrde hym wip a totcayle, and diide toatere in a bacyne, and sette hym on knees, $■ bigan to wasschen her feete (i. e. the disciples') $ forto wipen hem (88.22-25). The beggar Lazarus is described as a mesel who was not only ful of sores (64.18), but also of vertnyne (ib.) . . . And noman ne xaf hym nou$th, bot token pe houndes and bayted hym from pe gate. And pe hon\ii\des conien and likheden his fete (64.19-22). Explanatory additions. — Not infrequently the addition takes the form of a reason for something which the Gospels leave unexplained. In the parable of the talents, for instance, the lord who set off to a far country is said to go, as the Harmonist himself had probably gone, in pilgrymage (85.19). The saying of S. Thomas : — ' Goo ice now and dye wip oure maister' (73.11) is explained by the words: — for why, he were his frende pat yede wip hym wip his owene good wille a$ein his enemyes (73.12-13). Why did Herod clothe Jesus in a white clop when he and hia men wanted to show their scorn? The Harmonist's reason may not be the generally accepted one, but it is characteristically vigorous : And po despised Heroude Jesu, and al his meynee, and cladde hym in a white clop as he hadde ben a foole (95.28-30). Cf. Vulgate ' Sprevit autern ilium Herodes cum exercitu suo, et inlusit indutum veste alba' (Lc. xxiii, 11). When Jesus had cast out the money-changers He forbad any vessel to be carried through the temple. The Vulgate reading is : ' et non siuebat lit quisquam transferret vas per templum ' (Mc. xi, 16) ; but the Harmonist at once modifies and explains this by adding, bot $if it toere yhalewed (77.16). Before going up to Jerusalem for the last time Jesus tried to prepare his disciples for His approaching Passion and Besurreetion. t a O -a £ B £1 m Digilized by GoOgle Oriqinal from PRINCETON UNIVERSITY r^ £ ID -C 9 3 9 s no ^ i?"S 3 l/> O -a £ S CO CD Introduction xlix Cf. Vulgate (Et ipsi nihil horum intellexevunt, et erat verbuin istud absconditum ab eis, et non intellegebant quae dicebantur' (Lc. xviii, 34). The Harmonist suras this up quite simply — Ac hij ne vnderstoden it nou$th (69.15) — and then adds in his gentle way; — for pat he nolde noitjth make hem to sorouyful (69.15-16). Additions due to tradition} — It is surprising that only one addition is derived -from the New Testament Apocrypha, namely that the infant Jesus was laid in a manger where an ox & an asse stoden (S.7-8).2 The earliest mention3 of this tradition is in the Gospel of pseudo-Matthew4 which probably belongs to the fifth6 century. The other legendary addition refers to the * elder tree ' on which the traitor Judas was said to have hanged himself. And Judas . . . icent hym forp, and henge hym self on a nelren tree (94.35-95.1 ).6 I have not yet been able to trace this further back than ' Mandeville's Travels,' the first English reference to which probably belongs to the year 1356.7 The tradition is also alluded to in ' Piers the Plowman,' the earliest text of which was probably written about 1362. Paragraph headings. — The paragraph headings are also additions to the Biblical text. They are brief and to the point, each of the hundred and thirteen paragraphs, or chapters, having a separate title. The headings of §§ 94-100, the seven paragraphs dealing with the Passion, do not, as the rest, primarily indicate events, but rather the time covered by events — the passioun being regarded, according to mediaeval usage, as the supreme and therefore almost separate8 portion of Christ's life. The paragraphs describe the successive events from Holy Wednesday to the evening of Good Friday. The purpose of the Harmony. — The Harmony was probably intended as a guide to meditation on the Gospel story. The only specific evidence, however, of the compiler's purpose is extremely slight, though curious. It consists merely of the opening words of the headings of §§ 88, 95 : — ' Here bigynnep pe secounde meditacioun by pe pursday * ; * Here bigynnep pe sexte 1 I am greatly indebted to Professor Kennedy for supplying me with a list of historical rererences to these legendary elements.

GOSPEL HARMONY d Google Oriqinal from PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 1 Introduction meditacioun vtpon pe friday. But the very fact that the work is a complete and chronologically arranged life of Christ, conveniently divided into short paragraphs, or chapters, of varying length, makes it eminently suitable for daily reading and meditation.1 This indeed is how similar modern Harmonies 2 are still used in the Roman Church. In any case it is as a hook of devotion that the Pepysian Harmony makes its appeal. Regarded technically the work has considerable defects : for by paying too much heed to slight verbal discrepancies between the four Gospels, the Harmonist often fails to discern their essential unity ; and this not only with regard to details about facts, but occasionally also with regard to the facts themselves. Tims §§ 15, 17 are different versions of the same event, namely the call of Simon, Andrew, James and John. § 15 follows S. Luke,3 § 17 SS. Matthew4 and Mark.6 And so, according to the Harmony, Simon Peter, James and John were called twice — S. Luke does not mention Andrew. After the first call we are told that hij retourneden hem a$ein to her mystery ewer til Jesus hem cleped anoper tyme. An even more ingenious example of this tendency merely to add together rather than to harmonise apparent contradictions, is the story of Hou pe leuedies scheweden pe resureccioun of Jesu Crist to his deciples (105. § 106, heading). Some of the ladies said hij sei^en an aungel syttande (105.5), in accordance with the Vulgate 4 angelus domini . . . sedebat,' Mt. xxviii, 2 ; others said hij sei^en tweie aungels stondande (105.6-7), following ' eece duo viri steterunt ... in veste fulgenti,' Lc. xxiv, 4. In this way the seeming contradiction between SS. Matthew and Luke becomes a natural reason for S. Luke's account of the incredulity of the disciples, who held the words of the ladies as for trufle (105.8). Cf. ' sicut deliramentum,' Lc. xxiv, 11. This characteristically simple method of avoiding apparent discrepancies between the Evangelists, comes out sometimes very strikingly in details of description. Thus where S. Matthew6 says ' scarlet,' and SS. Mark 7 and John,8 ' purple,' the Harmonist says 3 i?"S 1 Cf. Note 87, § 95, heading. 2 Cf.
