Note 313 — CLEMENCY AND COMMON SENSE. A CURIOSITY OF LITERATURE; WITH A MORAL.

Graesse, in his Trésor de Livres Rares, which ought to be accurate, makes a strange mistake in calling Gualterus “Episcopus Insulanus.” He was never more than canon, and held no post at Lille. Fabricius entitles him simply “Magister Philippus Gualterus de Castellione, Insulanus.” (Bib. Lat. Mediæ et Infimæ Ætatis, Tom. III. p. 328.) See also Wright’s Early Mysteries and other Latin Poems of the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries, Preface, p. xviii.
