d the prospect is
not hopeless. These glosses, however, were revised by another master of
the Apostolic Palace, Sixtus Fabri, and were edited, under the sanction
of Pope Gregory XIII., in the year 1580; and from this authentic
impression the impious panegyric has not been withdrawn. The marginal
abridgment has, in compliance with Manriq's direction, been
exterminated; and this additional note has been appended as a
palliative:--

"Haec verba sano modo sunt accipienda: prolata enim sunt ad
ostendendum amplissimam esse Romani Pontificis
potestatem."--Col. 4. ed. Paris, 1585.

_Poeta Anglicus_ (Vol ii., p. 167).--I cannot answer J.B.'s Queries; but
I have fallen upon a _cross scent_, which perchance may lead to their
discovery.

1. Ioannes Pitseus, _de Scriptor. ad ann._ 1250, (_Relat. Histor. de
Rebus Anglicis_, ed. Par. 1619, p. 322.), gives the following account
"de Michaele Blaunpaino:"--

"Michael Blaunpainus, vulgo _Magister_ cognominatus, natione
Anglus, patria Cornubiensis, ... missus Oxonium, deinde
Parisios, ... prae caeteris se dedidit elegantiae linguae Latinae,
fuitque inter praecipuos sui temporis _poetus_ per Angliam
potissimum et Galliam numeratus. Hunc subinde citat Textor in
Cornucopia sub nomine Michaelis _Anglici_.... In lucem emisit:
Historiarum Normanniae, librum unum: Contra Henricum Abrincensem
versu. librum unum. Archipoeta vide, quod non sit. (_MS. in
Bibliotheca Lunleiana._) Epistolarum et carminum, librum unum.
Claruit anno Messiae 1250, sub Henrici tertii regno."

2. Valerius Andreas, however, gives a somewhat different account of
_Michael Anglicus_. In his _Biblioth. Belg._ ed. 8vo. Lovan, 1623, p.
609., he says:

"Michael Anglicus, Bellimontensis, Hanno, I. V. Professor et
_Poeta_, scripsit:

Eclogarum, libros iv., ad Episc. Parisien.
Eclogarum, libb. ii., ad Lud. Villerium.
De mutatione studiorum, lib. i.
Elegiam deprecatoriam.

Et alia, quae Paris. sunt typis edita. Hujus eruditionem et
Poemata Bapt. Mantuanus et Joannes Ravisius Testor epigrammate
commendarunt: hic etiam in Epithetis suis _Anglici_ auctoritatem
non semel adducit."

3. Franciscus Sweertius (_Athenae Belgricoe_, ed. Antv. 1628, p. 565.)
gives a similar account to this of Valerius Andreas.

4. And the account given by Christopher Hendreich Brandebargca, (ed.
Berolini, 1699, p. 193.) is substantia
