Description

  • Summary: CCCC MS 334 contains Jerome's translation of Origen's homilies on Luke. It was written in the type of script known as "a-z minuscule", one of the many European pre-Caroline minuscules, probably at a nunnery in Laon in the eighth century. It shares scribes with other Laon books, and has a note saying that it was written by one 'Fortunatus'. It contains some fish and animal decoration very typical in manuscripts of its date from northern France. There is no record of how it came into Parker's hands, and no evidence that it was in England in the Middle Ages.

    Note: Each Homily has heading in uncials, and initial in outline usually with animal forms, beaked fishes, etc. Homily 14 (f. 34r) has its title and initial touched with green. In Homily 18 (f. 49v) title and initial have some washing of red as well as green, and red dots about some of the letters. The small initials in the text about here are similarly coloured and dotted. This ornamentation affects all quire 7 (ff. 48r-55v)

    Note: On f. 97v written in pencil down the left side of the page in very irregular characters is this very interesting inscription. A few letters have gone through cropping: FOR/TJ/NA/TV/ ssc/·Ip/·it/·stu/·ibr/·m/·ra/·e/·ro/·llu i.e. Fortunatus scripsit istum librum orate pro illum (!)
