Excerpt from Historia Meriadoci and De Ortu Waluuanii: Two Arthurian Romances of the Xiiith Century, in Latin Prose Rawlinson B. 149 is also a vellum octavo, written at the end of the 14th or beginning of 15th century. For a description of it see W. D. Macray: Catalogi Codicum Manuscriptorum Bibliothecae Bodleianae, Part. 5, fasc. Cols. Bo0f. Historia Meriadoci begins fol. 91a and ends fol. 132b. The text is not written in columns. The contents of the ms. Are as follows: 1. History of the Three Magi. 2. The Latin prose tale (of Welsh origin), Arthur and Gorlagon, edited by Professor Kittredge in the above-mentioned volume of Harvard Studies and Notes. 3. Apollonius of Tyre. 4. Historia Meriadoci. 5. Historia de Preliis [alexandri Magni]. 6. Aristotle's treatise De Regimine Sanitatis. On the inside of the back Thomas Hearne, the well known antiquary, has noted that he bought the ms. Dec. 29, 1722. Another note (also Thomas Hearne's, I believe) is to this effect: The famous Dr. Langbaine's writing. This refers apparently to the table of contents of the ms. Which is found on the same page. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
