Queen, the wife of Ferdinand of Aragon; rather than either of her daughters. Two of the pictures look like portraits; oneSaint Barbara-I will not venture to identify, but the otherSaint Catherine is almost certainly the Portrait of Doña Juana when she was about twenty years of age, to judge from the authentic likeness given in Carderera's Inconografia. The first may be that of Margaret of Austria "la gente Demoiselle," who had many artists in her service, and who may have been the real begetter of this beautiful little MS., on account of her brother Philip. Independently of the y y united by a cordon in different places, there are in some of the borders groups of letters, used apparently for the most part as mere ornament, but sometimes significant. The recurrence several times of the letters YQ YQ, evidently indicates a symbol in imitation of the QV, which we know was used by Philip of Austria as his motto (Qui voudra). 26824 LIBER MISSALIS, SECUNDUM CONSUETUDINEM SEDIS VALENTIE CUM CALENDARIO, large folio, splendid Spanish Manuscript on vellum, finely illuminated in gold and colours, the first page of text ornamented with an exquisite Arabesque Border, displaying the arms of the Bishop of Valencia supported by flying Cupids, and a beautiful Miniature, of the Annunciation richly painted in colours and heightened with gold. Before the Canon of the Mass are two large Paintings (12 by 8 inches) of the ECCE HOMO and the CRUCIFIXION, by an EARLY SPANISH ARTIST, admirably executed in vivid colours heightened with gold; the whole volume in astonishingly perfect preservation, and bound in the original oak boards, covered with stamped morocco, £220. SEC. XV (1477) "In This splendid manuscript was written in the year 1477, as appears from the first leaf of calendar which commences hoc Anno Domini m.cccc.lxxvii est littera dominicalis e ut in cruce." Specimens of Spanish art are excessively rare, and the present MS. is one so remarkably fine and so brilliantly decorated, in the Italian style, which was then followed by the Spaniards, that it would form a specially valuable feature in any palæographical collection. There is, as compared with the Italianesque ornamentation, a more distinctive character in the two large paintings, which are truly imposing works of Art, somewhat in the Flemish style. The face of the mother in the picture of the Crucifixion is an extremely beautiful composition. 26825 ALCAÇAR (Baltaçar del) Obras Poeticas recogidas por Don Diego Luis de Arroyo y Figueroa, sm. 4to. beautifully written MS. prepared for publication, 243 pp. vellum wrapper, £4. Sevilla, 1666 Extremely valuable; the works of this witty and brilliant poet never having been printed in a collective form. The collections of Espinosa, Rivadeneyra, and others contain fragmentary specimens, which Ticknor recommended that some one should bring together and publish in a book. Evidently no one seemed to know that the task had already been accomplished in 1666, just sixty years after the author's death. At the end of the poems (which occupy 211 pages) we find a prose composition of the writer entitled La Pasion en Romance. 26826 ANTIGUEDADES DE LA ESPAÑA, Historia, Medallas, Inscripciones, etc.-varias obras y obrecitas MSS. in a stout small folio parcel, 36s Sec.
