Migne, xvii. 7C5 970, with the title Expositio super septem visiones libri Apocalypsis, and is attributed to Beren-
gauches, a Dominican monk of Ferrieres. It has also been attributed to St. Ambrose.

1 The Hexameron of Basil consists of nine homilies on the creation, to which are often added in Latin copies (as
in MS. Reg. 5 F. xvi) two supposititious homilies, De Hominis Structura. The Tractatus de Corpore Christi was
perhaps chapters v. to viii. of Basil's book, De Spiritu Sancto, or else some treatise on the Incarnation (of which Migne,
ccxix. 448, enumerates nineteen,) written in the same MS. volume which contained the Hexameron, or one on the body
of Christ, of which Migne gives ten. See ccxviii. 680 81, or perhaps Thomas Aquinas, Opusculum 58, De venerabili
Sacramento altaris. The Officium de Corpore Christi in the Cistercian (as in the Roman) Breviary is by Thomas
Aquinas, Opusculum 57. Opusculum 58 occupies sixty columns of the folio edition of the Opusculse,, Venice, 1498.

200 HISTORY OF WHALLEY. [BooK II. CHAP. II.
SEALS ATTACHED TO WHALLEY CHARTERS.
The Plate of Ecclesiastical Seals which faces this page was inserted in this History by Dr. Whitaker
without further explanation than that given in the Latin line at its head, that it represents the seals of
ancient Bishops and Chapters which were appended to the charters of the monasteries of Stanlaw and
Whalley, and to the confirmations of the churches of Whalley, Blackburn, and Rochdale. They were
unfortunately derived from no better originals than very rude pen-and-ink drawings in the Harleian MS.
2064, one of the MSS. of Randle Holme, who copied them, together with the charters to which they were
attached, from the originals then at Whalley. They are considerably " improved " in drawing by the
engraver Basire, and consequently can only be regarded as affording a general idea of the devices of the
seals, and imperfect copies of their legends. With this explanation, the present Editor will do what he
can towards describing them.
1. Seal of the Priory of St. Mary of Coventry. The Virgin and Child.
SIGILLVM SANCTE MARIE DE COVENTRE.
This seal is engraved in the Monasticon Anglicanum, edit. 1826, Plate VIII. fig. 6, but from so im-
perfect an impression that the Holy Child is omitted and the legend varied.
Counterscal of a Prior named Henry. The device of this I cannot undertake to specify : nor do I find
it in the Harl. MS. 2064.
2. Alexander do Stavenby, Bishop of Coventry 1224.
Counterseal : the device is evidently an antique gem, apparently of Hercules. The legend is too
blundered in copying to be interpreted.
This seal was attached to a charter relating to the chapel of Walton, which is printed in the Coucher
Book, edit. Chctliam Soc. p. 84.
3. William de Cornhill, Bishop of Coventry 1214-1223.
The counterseal represents the bishop praying to the Son of God, held in the arms of the Virgin, in the
terms of this hexameter:
SIS ROGO FILI DEI GDLIELMO DUX VIA VITE.
This seal was affixed to a charter relating to the church of Rochdale, printed in the Coucher Book,
edit. Chetham Soc., p. 139.
4. Perron, Bishop of Larina 1280. The Virgin and Child between the moon and sun; below, the
bishop between two stars.
Counterseal, the Holy Lamb.
5. Boniface, Bishop of Parenzo 1289.
6. Leother, Bishop of Veroli 1289.
Counterseal, apparently an owl.
These are the three seals attached to the Indulgence printed in p. 146.
7. Roger de Meuland, Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield 1257.
He was the third Roger who had occupied the see, and in order to identify his seal this is inscribed
across the seal, ROGr' III., under heads probably intended for Saint Alban and Saint Chad. Below are his
two cathedral churches. Beneath his feet merely an architectural bracket, ill copied.
8. Seal of the Abbat of Stanlaw
SIGILLVM ABBATIS DE LOCO [BENEDICTO].
This seal is attached to a charter relating to the churches of Rochdale and Blackburn in 1277. (Harl.
MS. 2064, fol. 307.)

9. Baldwin, Archbishop of Canterbury 1184. Counterseal, his figure repeated : SIGNVM SECRETVM.
(The inverted crescent behind his head is a mistaken alteration of the dependent infulse of his mitre.)
This seal was attached to the archbishop's confirmation of the charter of Richard Bishop of Coventry,
of Staney and Eston to Stanlaw. Harl. MS. 2064, fol. 307. Coucher Book, edit. Chetham Soc. p. 15.
The Seal of Whalley Abbey, which was unknown to Dr. Whitaker, is now engraved for the first time.
It is from an impression in green wax attached to a charter in the office of the Duchy of Lancaster,
