Missale Gothicum, a Gallican Sacramentary, Ms. Vatican

The completion of these dissertations was hindered, and the issue of the volume delayed, through the demands made upon Dr. Bannister’s time and energy by the duties of a temporary post in the Bodleian Library, which he undertook at a time of need, and which he fulfilled with unfailing readiness and devotion. At his decease it appeared that although he had made preparations on a large scale for these dissertations, and a considerable amount of material had been collected, none of the proposed dissertations had been put together in a form such as to fit it for publication and Dr. Bannister’s notes, although he might himself have reduced them in a short time to order and presented the result in literary form, could not be dealt with readily or quickly, if at all, by any hand other than his own.
