Text Appearing Before Image:
Diplomatica hasgiven a fac-simile of the text of the Pentateuch. Inthe original, Charles is surrounded by four attendants,who are blended, as it were, with a group of twelvebelow—in the habits of priests—listening to the ora-tion of one, who stands nearly in the centre.-;- This il-lumination, in the whole, measures about fourteeninches in height by nearly ten and a half in width: thepurple ground being frequently faded into a greenishtint. The volume itself is about twenty inches inheight by fifteen wide. It is consequently of no verymeagre dimensions ; and may in every respect be pro-nounced among the most precious, both on the scoreof art and antiquity, which this wonderful library con-tains. It will always, I trust, henceforward be deem-ed a public treasiue as well as a particiUar regal heir-loom. It is bound in red morocco, with the arms ofColbert, as usual, upon the sides. * See the Opposite Plate.t Earl Vivian, and eleven monks, in the act of presenting thevolume to Charles.

The exterior of the first sideof the binding has an elaborate piece of sculpture, inivory, consisting- of small human figures, beasts, &c.;and surrounded with oval and square coloured stones.The exterior of the other or corresponding side of thebinding has the same species of sculpture, in ivory;but no stones. The text of the volume is in gold capi-tals throughout; but the ornaments, as well as the por-trait of Charles, are much inferior to those in that justdescribed. However, this is doubtless a valuable relic.Prayer Book of Charles the Bald; in small4to. This is rather an Evangehstarium, or excerptsfrom the four Gospels. The writing is a smallroman lower-case. The illuminations, like those inthe preceding, are rubbed and faded, and they aresmaller. The exterior
