Several collations of the Latin Psalter with MSS. and printed editions, almost all apparently in Ussher's hand:

  1. (fol. 1) 'Collatio Psalterii à B. Hieronymo ex Hebræo conversi, et à Jac. Fabro Parisijs anno 1513 editi, cum alijs exemplaribus MSS18, et impressis': Pss. i-cl, collated in eleven books.
  2. (fol. 65) Pss. cxxxi. 9-cl (Psalterium Romanum), in five books, with the canticles and (fol. 64v) Ps. cli (Pusillus eram).
  3. (fol. 74) Titles of the Psalms, in one and (i-xxiv only, fol. 85) in four books.
  4. (fol. 88) Pss. i-lxxi (Psalterium Gallicum), in five books.
  5. (fol. 96) Pss. lxv. 8-cl, in six books.
  6. (fol. 108v) The Canticles, in five books.

Explanations of the symbols occur on fols. 1 (two), 72v (eight for the Psalt. Gall.), 73v (three), 85 (four), 88 (four), 116v (fourteen).
