_Anglo-Saxon "Lay of the Phoenix_."--Has any edition of the _Lay of the
Phoenix_ been published, besides the English version in the _Archaeologia_, vol. 30, and that which bears the date, "Copenhagen, Grundtvig, 1840, 8vo"? Can any light be thrown on the doubts respecting the era of the author of this lay? And is there any published edition of the hexameter poem by Lactantius, which is said by Stephens to have suggested the first idea of this beautiful Anglo-Saxon poem? SELEUCUS. _C. Agricola, Propugnaculum Anti-Pistorianum_.--Could any of your readers direct me to an accessible library which possess a copy of Christian Agricola's _Propugnaculum Anti-Pistorianum_, or otherwise give me any account of that treatise? J. SANSOM. _The Liturgy Version of the Psalms_.--In Beloe's _Anecdotes of Literature_ (edition 1807), vol. i. p. 181. and vol. ii. p.316. are notices of _The Bishops' Bible_, where mention is made of one edition of it containing two different versions of the Psalms. The two statements, however, differ, making it doubtful of what is intended; the first speaking of one edition and the second of another. Vol. i. p. 181. says-- "The first edition of this Bible was published in 1568. In this the new translation of the Psalms was inserted alone. In the second edition the translation of the Great Bible was added in opposite columns, and in a different character." |
