An alphabetical listing based on Anstey was prepared by H. H. E. Craster, ‘Index to Duke Humphrey's Gifts to the Old Library of the University in 1439, 1441, and 1444', Bodleian Quarterly Record, 1 (1915), 131-135, which has served as my guide.

⁶ Ullman, , op. cit., pp. 67–72 Google Scholar. Whether the medical works were typical or atypical is a matter of conjecture. The other titles in the donation were not particularly standard in other parts of the curriculum so that I see no reason to suppose that the medical ones might have been given for this reason. There is also no indication of a shortage of these particular titles in the university although the Duke's gifts were certainly very much appreciated. There are of course many titles which never reached Oxford (see Weiss, , op. cit., pp. 66–67 Google Scholar) and the Duke's contribution to Cambridge is unknown.

⁷ In general, the works are the standard medical works of the thirteenth-century curriculum. The Arabic works were translated by Constantine the African, Gerard of Cremona, and others. For a thirteenth-century list see Charles Homer Haskins, Studies in the History of Mediaeval Science (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1927), pp. 374-375, while a good example of a fourteenth-century list at Oxford is found in the will of Simon Bredon who died in 1372. See Powicke, F. M., The Medieval Books of Merton College (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1931), pp. 81–86 Google Scholar. The only names on the present list who might cause difficulty in identification are Theodosius presbyter and Vincentius. I am not sure that the Passionarium is a medical work but it is listed among a group of medical works (Anstey, op. cit., 1, 182). If it is a medical work, it could be by Theodorus Priscianus, physician to the Emperor Gratianus, 367-383, who wrote a book on therapeutic prescriptions. The Vincentius might well refer to Vincent of Beauvais, French Dominican and encyclopaedist, whose work included a section on medicine.

⁹ Peter of Capestang was a French physician (ca. 1299-1313) at Montpellier who wrote questions on Hippocrates Regimen acutorum. I have been unable to identify Jo. de Corpo, fifexcept for the reference to his Quaestiones super Hippocratis Prognostica, mentioned in Lynn Thorndike and Kibre, Pearl, A Catalogue of Incipits of Mediaeval Scientific Writings in Latin (Cambridge, Mediaeval Academy of America Pub., XXIX, 1937), col. 688Google Scholar.

¹⁰ John of Gaddesden was a fourteenth-century English physician who had received his doctor of medicine degree from Oxford by 1332. See Emden, op. cit., n, 739.

¹¹ Peter Tussiano can probably be identified as Petrus de Tossignano (died ca. 1407). He was a professor at both Bologna and Padua and wrote on the plague, on therapeutics, and materia medica.

¹³ Teodorico Borgognoni was an Italian surgeon and physician, the son of Hugh of Lucca.

¹⁵ Henry of Mondeville was a French surgeon of the first part of the fourteenth century.

¹⁶ Thaddaeus Alderotti (1215-95) was an early leader of the Bologna medical school.

¹⁷ These works are not listed in the will of Bishop Rede nor in the catalogue of theological books which he gave to New College ( Powicke, , op. cit., pp. 87 Google Scholar ff.) but they are included in a Bodleian MS which bears his name—E. Museo MS 19 (ibid., pp. 166-167).

¹⁸ Roger of Parma is probably Roger of Salerno, the famous twelfth-century Salernitan surgeon who was sometimes called by this name. It might also be the thirteenth-century Roland of Parma.

¹⁹ John of Jametz was a thirteenth-century Italian surgeon.

²⁰ Erotianos was a Greek philologist and lexicographer of the first century who compiled a lexicon of Hippocrates.
