JUKI US, HICKES, AND SIR ROBERT COTTON HELP OX THE WORK. That must be counted a day of good omen for the study of Anglo-Saxon and the kindred dialects in this country when Francis Junius, born at Heidelberg, 1589, arrived in Oxford for the purpose of working in the library. Here he discovered (says Graevius, the writer of his Life) some Anglo-Saxon books of great antiquity, upon which he began to study that language, which was here greatly neglected, and spent much time and labour to obtain a true knowledge of it. In all, he was thirty years in England, eight of which he spent at Oxford. The correspondent of Archbishop Ussher, of Hugo Grotius, of Claudius Salmasius, of Gerhard John Voss; upright in character, of engaging and modest manners, full of anecdote and humour, he was clearly a man worth knowing, and he was much sought after accordingly. Vandyke's portrait of him in the Bodleian shows a capacious head, shaded by curly hair, thin face, and most intelligent eyes; one could hardly have imagined that he was capable of such superhuman labour. Rising at four, winter and summer, he laboured at his manuscripts till one, when he dined. At three he again repaired to the Museum,1 working till eight, when he supped. He seldom appeared in the streets of Oxford, but took his exercise in area sub- divali (a college cloister), now at a walk, now at a run; and if the weather was bad, per omnes scalas in coenaculo ascendendo valetudinis tuendi causa. Such was the lifeof a student in those days. But, as bis biographer explains, he had a formidable task before him; great darkness prevailed in the domain which he was exploring. Loca peragrabat avia, et tetra caligine, necnon vepribus et dumis horrida. 1 The Bodleian was opened in 1604. M.icray, Annuls of Bodleian....
