Description

• Summary: CCCC MS 297 is an interesting manuscript because of its very ordinariness. It contains a number of disparate texts copied at Thorney Abbey in Cambridgeshire between the early thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, including copies of legal material such as the Statuta abbreviata and an account of a dispute involving the abbot of Thorney, together with tracts on diplomatic practice, husbandry, medicine (both human and veterinary) and accounting. The suggestion must be that this volume was one of very many created as a commonplace book either for a monastic administrator or as a more general source of information useful to a monastic community.
