Description
  • This composite manuscript contains two parts, which may have been bound together in the 17th century.Contents: ff. 1r-129v: the only surviving copy of an Old English translation of Boethius's De Consolatione Philosophiae in alternating prose and verse. These folios were copied in the mid-10th century. ff. 130r-168v: Aelred of Rievaulx, Vita Sancti Edwardi Regis et Confessoris , which was copied in the second half of the 12th century. f. 169r: a damaged, 13th-century fragment of an account of a group from Norfolk's pilgrimage to Edward the Confessor's shrine. According to Smith's 1969 catalogue of Cotton's library, the manuscript once also contained a separate account of one of Edward the Confessor's miracles. This appears to have been lost when the manuscript was damaged in the Ashburnham House fire of 1731.
