Excerpt from Libri Psalmorum Versio Antiqua Latina: Cum Paraphrasi Anglo-Saxonica, Partim Soluta Oratione, Partim Metrice Composita; Nunc Primum e Cod. Ms. In Bibl. Regia Parisiensi Adservato
Perlectis iis qua de hoc codice narrat Gleyus, primo mihi dubitare succurrit utmm sermone vere Anglo Saxonico scriptus esset, an cognata aliqua dialecto Teutonica, qua ab extero homine qui nunquam ser moni nostro prisco dedisset operam, pro anglo-saxo nica haberi facile posset. Visum est igitur a d.joanne Bowumo, LL.D., viro amatissimo, mihique amici tia conjunctissimo, qui tune temporis negotia pub lica Lutetia Parisiorum agebat, petere ut qualia esset codex me per litterae certiorem faceret. Hic pro humanitate singulari sua et benevolentia cito quidem, sed nullo sermonis adjecto specimine, pe titioni mea obsecutus est. Incertus itaque adhuc bareham, quum D. Carolus purton cooper, LL.D., Publicorum Magna Britannia Archivorum Curatori bus Regiis a Secretis, - qui quanto studio et successu ubique indagaverit quacunque lucem annalibus no stris antiquis a¿'erre viderentur, res notior est quam ut praconio meo indigeat, - duabus codicis paginis, prima scilicet et ultima, potitus est, accuratissime descriptis. Nullo jam loco dubitandi relicto quia codex esset, id quod dixerat Gleyus, Paraphra sis Psalmorum anglo-saxonica; reverendis Ty pographei Academici apud Oxonienses delegatis operam meam ad eum describendum obtuli. Hi quum liberalissime conditionem a me oblatam acce pissent, postea statuerunt ut me editore paraphrasis in lucem prodiret.
