Description
  • This composite manuscript contains four parts (ff. i recto-48v [Part 1]; ff. 49r-56v [Part 2]; 57r-64v [Part 3]; and 65r-133v [Part 4]) that were produced between the 4th quarter of the 11th century and the 2nd quarter of the 12th century (see 'Provenance' for the dating of the separate parts). It contains theological works by St Augustine of Hippo (b. 354, d. 430); Autpert Ambrose (d. 784), abbot of St Vincent in Volturno at Rocchetta; John Chrysostom (b. c. 349, d. 407); and Fulcher of Chartres (b. 1059, d. 1127). It also includes readings from the miracles of St Liudhard (d. c. 603), bishop and chaplain to Queen Bertha of Kent. The parts were all produced at the Benedictine abbey of St Augustine at Canterbury where they were joined together, at least, by the end of the 14th century: the manuscript has been listed in a catalogue of the abbey’s library that was compiled between 1375 and 1420 (see St Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury , ed. by Barker-Benfield (2008), pp. 527-28).

Part 3: ff. 57r-62r: John Chrysostom, De Muliere Chananea sub Figura Persecutionis (On the Canaanite Woman’s Form of Persecution). ff. 62v-64v: Lectiones de Miraculis Sancti Lethardi Episcopi (Readings from the Miracles of Bishop Saint Lethard). Part 4: ff. 65r-133v: Fulcher of Chartres, Historia Hierosolymitana (History of Jerusalem), with a prologue (ff. 65r-65v).
