Summary:
One of six manuscripts in the Public Library Bruges containing the
Libri quattuor sententiarum or Sententiae of Petrus Lombardus (d.
1160), this copy is the second oldest, dating from the first
quarter of the thirteenth century. It was possibly copied at the
Ten Duinen abbey. The Sententiae are the most important scholastic
work in high medieval theology, and were used as standard reading
material at universities ever since. It laid the foundation of
scholastic theology and methodology of asking, confirming and
refuting questions with arguments from authorities. In this copy
the text is incomplete, as in several places folia are missing. The
text ends on fol. 124v: the following leaf contains excerpts from
several authorities on the subject of fornication and penitence.
The final leaf, fol. 126, was used by a different (but roughly
contemporary) scribe to draw up an index on the Sententiae. The
text is presented in two columns per page. Occasionally part of a
column is further divided into two sub columns. Initials have been
added alternately in red and either blue or green ink, usually with
decoration in the other colour. The text is provided with several
layers of structure and intertextual references. The margins have
been used to denote the beginning of distinctions, arguments and
responses, and to add citations from authoritative sources (the
latter in red ink). The manuscript is bound in a late medieval
leather binding over wooden boards. The covers are blindstamped and
the corner edges have been reinforced with metal plates. Traces of
two clamps are present. Despite the manuscript probably having been
written in Ten Duinen, there is no direct contemporary evidence.
Only the seventeenth-century cross-shaped stamp is found on the
first and last leaves. [Summary by Dr. Mark Vermeer] Title:
