Description

  • Summary: CCCC MS 379 is one of the notebooks of Robert Talbot (1505/6–1558), an antiquarian best remembered for his interest in Anglo-Saxon texts. It contains notes and excerpts from texts in Latin, Greek and Old English from both manuscripts and early printed books as well as runic inscriptions. This notebook has attracted attention both as an artefact of sixteenth-century efforts to learn Old English, and due to the transcription of a large portion of the preface to Genesis by Ælfric of Eynsham (d. 1010) from the now lost first folio of BL Cotton Claudius B.IV. Much of the material in this notebook relates to Talbot's interest in topographical nomenclature, such as his extensive notes on the British section of the Itinerarii Antonini. The Latin version of Oppian's Halieutica with a brief biographical note on the author on ff. 2r-7v appears to be a translation of the Greek version published in the early sixteenth century.
