istiani Juncker, 8vo., Francof. 1699. In this
work (p.129.) there is an impression of a medal on which was exhibited
the _Imago ad vivam effigiem expressa_ of Erasmus, anno 1531.

_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?

_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?

_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."

Vol. ii. p. 316.:--

"Bishops' Bible, first edition, 1568. There is also a double
translation of the Psalms, one from what is called the Great Bible,
the other entirely a new one."

Will any of your correspondents be so obliging as to state what is the
additional version--new or other--there alluded to, other than the
present Liturgy version?

MISCELLANIES.

_Sir William Rider_.--"P.C.S.S." is happy to be able to answer one of
the questions of "H.F." (at p. 186. No. 12.), by referring him to the
_Extracts from the Parish Registers of St. Olave's_, which were
published in vol. ii. of the _Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica_.
At p. 316., of that volume, he will find the following entry, which
pretty nearly determines the date of Sir William Rider's death:--"1611,
