Acquisition
Before his death, Junius gave his Anglo-Saxon manuscripts and his philological collections to the University by a deed of gift dated in the same month. The manuscripts seem to have reached the Library in 1677.
This item was recorded in the Summary Catalogue as "missing" at the time of cataloguing:
5221: Described in the O.C. as 'Hymni canendi per circulum anni, in lingua frisica [rectius francica] cum interpretatione Latina interlineari manu Iunii. 4o', but not known to be in the Library since the 18th cent., and probably 'lost in dr. Owen's time [after 1747] or before' (so dr. Bandinel, librarian from 1813). See Thomas Siebs, 'West-friesische Studien', in Abh. der kön. Akad. der Wiss. in Berlin (1895), p. 53, and cf. E. Sievers, Die Murbacher Hymnen (Halle, 1874), p. 8.
