Note 1016 — Chapter XIII · THE FEAST OF FOOLS

Grenier, 362. He says the ‘cérémonial’ is ‘tiré d’un ms. de la cathédrale de Beauvais,’ and gives the footnote ‘Preuv. part 1, no. .’ On the prose Kalendas Ianuarias and the censing his footnotes refer to Ducange, s. v. Kalendae. The ‘Preuves’ for his history are scattered through the MSS. Picardie in the Bibl. Nat. No doubt the reference here is to MSS. 14 and 158 which are copies of the Beauvais office (Dreves, in Stimmen aus Maria-Laach, xlvii. 575). These, or parts of them, are printed by F. Bourquelot, in Bulletin de la Soc. arch. de Sens (1854), vi. 171 (which also, unfortunately, I have not seen), and chants from them are in Dreves, Anal. Hymn. xx. 229. But here Dreves seems to speak of them as copies of Pacchiarotti’s MS. (Egerton MS. 2615). And Desjardins, 124, says that Grenier and Bourquelot used extracts from eighteenth-century copies of Pacchiarotti’s MS. in the library of M. Borel de Brétizel. Are these writers mistaken, or did Grenier only see the copies, and take his description from Louvet? And what has become of the twelfth-century MS.?
