^{page 225 note 2} Adam of Dryburgh, De Quadripartito Exercitio Cellae, ascribed to Guigo II in P.L., cliii. 787–884. E. Margaret Thompson first noticed the ascription to Adam in MS. Cotton Vespasian D. ix, in The Somerset Carthusians, London 1896, 74Google Scholar; but it was not until 1930 that this ascription was connected with the work published in P.L.: Thompson, E.

Richard Bruce Marks cites this passage of the Quadripartite Exercise in The Medieval Manuscript library of the Charterhouse of St. Barbara in Cologne (Analecta Cartusiana xxi, xxii), Salzburg 1974, i.38, correctly attributing the work to Adam of Dryburgh, but mistakenly giving the title of the work as the Consuetudines.

The most important of these five, and perhaps the earliest ‘association copy’ in English history—it bears the names of owners including Margaret Beaufort, Elizabeth of York and the eminent eighteenth-century collector Narcissus Luttrell—is now in the possession of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon: cf. Fifty-five Books Printed Before 1525 Representing the Works of England's First Printers: An Exhibition from the Collection of Paul Mellon, the Grolier Club 1968, 20–21 and plate. Through the kindness of Mr. Mellon I was allowed to examine this book, from which examination I am preparing a note in which I hope to detail the history of the ‘Book III’ printing anomaly.

Cf- Colledge, E., The Mediaeval Mystics of England, London 1962, 64–65Google Scholar; Phyllis Hodgson, op. cit., lxxxii-lxxxiv and literature cited by both. It is possible that Grenehalgh's notes do not refer to the Cloud and the same author's Book of Privy Counselling together: Douce 262, a London Charterhouse MS., probably did not contain the latter when annotated by Grenehalgh; rather, it was probably added later by Andrew Boorde. The only copy of this work that Grenehalgh is known to have seen is in MS. Harley 2373, which he may have annotated some time later at Mount Grace: cf. Hodgson, op. cit., x-xi.
