. Jacobus Cardinalis de Coronatione Bonifacii VIII. inter Acta SS. Maii tom. 4. pag. 470 : At litui stridere vices et cymbala strident :Tympana congeminant sonitum, nec verbere tunsaDiscunt ferre gradum, tibi sed Cornubia substantQuæ digitis commota canis. Hic Continuator Bollandi : Cornubia quidem nomen est civitatis in Anglia, sed Auctor per quamdam allusionem eo est usus, aut quia Cornubiorum inventum esse credidit, tympanorum pulsum ad fistulam regere, aut quia significatam voluit fistulam, non illam rectam instar tubi, quali utuntur Germani, sed cornu instar reflexam, quæ vulgo Cornetta appellatur. Hanc expositionem exscribit Murator. Script. Ital. tom. 3. pag. 653. col. 1.
