'Tomus primus Animaduersionum in Patres Latinæque Ecclesiæ Doctores primarios. Opus inchoatum ... 3 io die mensis Martij 1598... Thomas James.' This first and only volume is an 'Elenchus eorum quæ in omnibus operibus D. Cypriani hactenus excusis sunt uel addita vel detracta vel commutata uel ... supposita ...' With the printed edition of Cyprian edited by Simon Goulartij, 1593, are collated two New college MSS. and one Lincoln college MS. of Cyprian (presumably MSS. New coll. 130, 132, Linc, 47), in parallel columns.

From fol. 151 it is clear that James began a draft of his work on Aug. 3, 1597. Fol. iii is a leaf (sign. A. ii) of the Sarum Missal printed in London by Pynson in 1504, on parchment with illuminated border: with a note on it by the rev. H. M. Bannister, 1906.
