ment is also cited in three of Martène's Ordines, already referred to for the forms of Ordination of Priests and Deacons (xx-xxiii supra). In one of these (that taken from Egbert's Pontifical), the extract appears under the name of Innocent. It also appears, in a somewhat different form, in the Decretum of Gratian (Dist. lxxvii. c. 2). The Codex Gellonensis does not contain it; but it is found, apparently, in both the other MSS. which Martène employed, together with that codex, for his fourth Ordo. The Missale Francorum contains some of the canons cited here from the second document, and, like V., brings them together, as a preface to the liturgical formulae which follow: but they are not given in the same order as in V., the regulation as to the Ostiarius being placed first, that as to the Bishop last, while V. follows the order of the canons. In Martène's Ordines the canonical regulations and the liturgical formulae are blended together, so that the canon as to each order precedes immediately the forms of admission to that order. In V., as has already been noted on xx supra, the forms of Ordination for Bishops, Priests, and Deacons are separated from those for the minor orders. Otherwise it may be said that this section and that which follows it are, taken together, parallel to the corresponding portion of the Missale Francorum, and to the three Ordines of Martène. These last will be cited (as before) as Egb. Gem. Gell. 2 ministeriis Egb. Gem.; V., and Mart. Ordo iv, as text. 3 For nomen dederitperduret Egb. Gem. substitute nostra didicerit exempla et inter lectores usque in vicesimum annum continuata observatione perduraverit. Exinde... 4 aetati, so V. Egb. Gem.; aetate Mart.

(ungrammatically); Gell. as text: Egb. Gem. Miss. Franc. have variations and insertions. 28 The words in brackets, omitted by V., are supplied from Miss. Franc. Gell. Egb.; Gem. adds et componant. 29 The words in brackets appear in V. and (with slight variation) in Martène's Ordo iv: they are not in Codex Gellonensis, or in the Missale Francorum: nor do they appear in Egb. Gem. which break up the canon into separate rubrical directions. They have probably been inserted in error through some confusion between this canon and such a form of that preceding, as appears in Miss. Franc. 30 Miss. Franc. omits quia-consecratur. manus Egb. Gell. (qui manus impositionem accipit Gem.); Miss. Franc. omits the canon. 32 Egb. Gem. Gell. (?) omit aqua et. manutergium Egb.

Gell. among the forms relating to priests: but in Egb. it is attached to the forms for deacons, with the title Consecratio manuum diaconi de oleo sancto et chrisma (de oleo ad chrisma Mart.). Its wording is slightly varied in the different texts. XCVII. IN NATALE 1 CONSECRATIONIS DIACONI.
