In the "Getal der broederē en̄ prouintien," at fol. cccci., we learn that at that time (1518) England had 7 convents and 200 friars; Ireland 15 convents and 400 friars; and Scotland 8 convents and 120 friars.
The "Kalendier" which follows this "Getal" is printed in red and black.
"Den aflaet vā romē" is the last tract in the book. Here is the finis:
"¶ Hier eyndt bÿ de gratie gods dat derde boec vā desen wÿngaert die mit groten arbeyt wt veel ductētelÿcke scriftē wten latÿne vergadert en̄ nu eerst translateert is, ter eerē des heylighe confessors Sinte Franciscus en̄ ten profÿte vā allen gueden kenten menschen.
"¶ Hier na volcht di tafele."
After the "tafel" or index occur some verses containing seventy-three lines, eulogistic of the saint.
I forgot to mention that in the Oude Legende some of St. Francis's poems are given, translated from the Italian originals: at fol. cxxii. is given the "Canticum solis," part of which Sir James Stephen quotes in his sketch of the saint's life.
I have a Query to make, but must defer it to another time, as I have already taken up enough of your paper.
