The fragment is printed here as the one still remaining portion of Scottish-Celtic liturgical documents: unless we are to add a Celtic Kalendar printed by Bishop Forbes (Kalendar of Scottish Saints, PP. 79-92, and Pref. p. xxx.). All other existing liturgical remains, known to be in, or to belong to, Scotland, either are Irish (as the Drummond Missal, and most probably the Finit. [p. 89, ed. Stuart.] so-called Missa S. Columbani in the Advocates' Library at Edinburgh); or (which is the case with the far larger number) belong to the Sarum order (adopted almost throughout the Scottish dioceses about the middle of the 13th century, and at Glasgow in the 12th, see above, on p. 33); or are to be classed with the post-Sarum reforms of Bishop Elphinstone of Aberdeen, about A.D. 1507. See Laing's Pref. to the Aberdeen Breviary, and Bishop Forbes as above. APPENDIX B. MS. COTTON. Tiber. D. III. fol. 217 aa, as printed by Reeves, ad Adamn. Pref. p. xxix.a Sancte Columba pater, quem fudit Hibernia [ma]ter, Te petimus per eum . . In tua devotos seruitia protege totos. us pro cunctis funde precatus : a Eleven verses of this, viz. the first five and the last six, are in Ussher (Brit. Eccl. Antiq., XV.; Works, VI. 230, 239), who had the MS. while yet uninjured by the fire of 1731 and from him the gaps in the first few lines are supplied by Dr. Reeves. The [SIMEON OF HY, A.D. 1107×1114.] verses occur at the end of a Life of S. Columba in a series of lives of saints, transcribed A.D. 1180 (Reeves). They were written (as appears by the lines themselves) by one Simeon, apparently a monk of Hy, by order of King Alexander, necessarily Alexander I., A.D. 1107-1124, and before the death of his Queen (Sibylla, ob. A.D. 1122), under the direction of "William," supposed to be the Bishop William of Man, who was succeeded by Bishop Wymund, A.D. 1109 × 1114 (see above, p. 189). Consequently they were APPENDIX C.
