ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT
Footnotes
THIRTEENTH-CENTURY MANUSCRIPT COMPENDIUM OF THEOLOGY AND CANON LAW.
Comprises:
ff. 1r-22v, a later (probably fourteenth century) index.
ff. 23r-186v, relates to Canon Law, with sections on apostasy ("De Apostatis"), murder ("De homicidio"), matrimony ("De matrimonio"). The text is divided in four books (numbered consecutively), it is written in two columns and it is incomplete - the numbering to the first columns present being 73, a portion missing in the centre (without columns 385 to 448), and concludes at column 912. It is followed by an index.
ff. 187-202v, includes part of De spiritu et anima ("Incipt liber Sancti Augustini De Anima"), a treatise on the soul drawn from several authors (including Alcuin, Bernard of Clairvaux, Augustine of Hippo, Boethius and Hugo of St Victor). At one time attributed to St. Augustine, or the twelfth-century Cistercian monk Alcherus of Clairvaux, it is now generally deemed to be a pseudo-Augustine of the twelfth century.
ff. 203-208v, is a glossary of words and phrases from the Scriptures arranged alphabetically (lacking title and first and final sections) with references to the Books of the Bible noted in red. This compilation appears to be of French origin, as there are references to the French vernacular, "gallice".
Provenance: M. Gaucci, Florence; Ia. Stewart, Rome, 1853; G.A. Watson, early ownership inscriptions to first fly-leaves.
