Summary:
In manuscript 72 two books of the Bible are included, together with
the Glossa Ordinaria: (ff. 1r-62v) the Gospel of Mark; and (ff.
63r-103v) the Lamentations of Jeremiah. The authorship of these
famous glosses - ordinaria refers to their popularity and common
use, as they were commonly copied alongside Biblical texts - has
been subject of scholarly discussion. Traditionally, they were
ascribed to Walafrid Strabo (d. 849), though current consensus
credits Anselm of Laon (d. 1117) with this work. A list of the
chapters of Mark is found on leaf [f. 1r]. The glosses on Jeremiah
are attributed to Gilbert Universalis (also Gilbert of Auxerre, d.
1134), who is credited with having written glosses on several books
of the Bible. The manuscript is dated to the first quarter of the
thirteenth century: the text of Mark might have been written in
Paris, while Jeremiah was written in Ten Duinen. This abbey's
ownership inscription is found on the final leaf. Both texts are
written in a single column per page, surrounded on both sides by
marginal glosses, with additional interlinear glosses in between
the lines of the main text. Few initials are present throughout the
volume: thise in Mark have been written in coloured ink and are
decorated. Jeremiah has rubricated chapter numbers. [Summary by Dr.
