Taxus pro arbore que gal. dicitur yf (ibid.; Revue Critique, 1868, II, p. 295). Macula est in oculo meo, g. mayle est en le oyl . . . Macula corporis est lesura, gall, mayme (p. 38 ; Meyer, pp. 673-74). Examination of earlier lexicons would doubtless reveal the origin of the Latin portion of the greater part of these glosses, indeed the corre- spondence between the Sacerdos ad altare and any one of Neckam's writings might be explained on the ground of copying or the use of a common source; but ...such considerations are not sufficient to destroy the cumulative force of the argument. The close agreement of the text with the De nominibus utensilium and the De naturis rerum, and the exact correspondence of the gloss, in both Latin and French, with the Corrogationes, taken with the general similarities of style, point clearly to the conclusion that text and gloss are the work of one writer and that this writer is Alexander Neckam. This view is strengthened by considerations which show that both text and gloss were composed toward the close of the twelfth century 1 by one famib'ar with the schools of Paris, and that the gloss, at least, was written in England.
