^{page 416 note a} It may be remarked that the night vigil before the relics, and the subsequent enclosing of them in the altar of the church, are prominent features in the Roman and in most Continental Pontificals. In many English Pontificals, however, there is no mention of the enclosing of the relics of saints in the sepulchre of the altar. When the enclosing of relics is noticed it is said to be done in the Roman manner (more Romano), when no relics areenclosed the dedication is performed after the English custom (more Anglicano). This is very clearly set forth in a MS. Pontifical in the British Museum (Lansdowne, 451, circa 1400), written for a bishop of London, in which the Roman Use is given as an alternative to the English, but it is added that Roman manner of enclosing relics was seldom used in those days, on account of the scarcityof old relics, and the fact that the canonisation of new saints was a rare event.(“Sciendum est tamen quod variis modis recluduntur reliquie infra altare licet istis temporibus hoc raro fiat propter reliquiarum antiquarum paucitatem et novorum sanctorum raram canonizacionem.” Lansdowne MS. 451, fo. 136 b.) Another difference between the Roman and English mode of dedicating churches is that in the former twelve crosses are painted on the inside walls of th e church only, whilst in the latter twelve crosses are painted on the outside as well as on the inside.

^{page 417 note a} In writing the Greek Alphabet the Metz rubric orders the bishop to commence de dextro-angulo ab oriente. The Ordo Romanus, on the contrary, says de sinistro angulo. Perhaps the same corner is meant in both places. The rubric of the Roman Pontifical makes the matter clear by saying ab angulo Ecclesiœ ad sinistram intrantis.
