Summary:
Manuscript 28 is closely related to manuscript 29. Firstly they
share the same major texts: three commentaries on books of the
Bible, written by Stephen Langton (d. 1228), archbishop of
Canterbury and one of the driving forces behind the Magna Carta:
Super quattuor libros Regum (ff. 35r-95r); Super librum Iudith (ff.
95r-108r); and Super librum Salomonis (ff. 111v-174r). The last two
texts are erroneously attributed by the scribe to the
thirteenth-century French Dominican Nicholas of Gorran (Nicolaus de
Tornaco). Furthermore, manuscripts 28 and 29 both contain two
anonymous sermons (ff. 108r-111r) on the Virgin Mary and on the
Annunciation. The type of script and layout in both manuscripts
correspond to such extent that they were likely copied at the same
location, possibly the scriptorium of Ten Duinen. Manuscript 28
also contains the Sermones varii Stephani Cantuariensis (ff.
2r-21v); three sermons that are attributed by the manuscript to
Stephen (ff. 22r-26r); a Liber poenitentialis by the
twelfth-century Parisian theologian Alain de Lille (1128-1202/3); a
panegyric for Saint Agnes (ff. 33r-34v); and two short moralising
texts on the final leaf (ff. 174v). The manuscript is written in
two columns, with initials in red and blue ink present at each
chapter. The manuscript contains an ownership inscription of Ten
Duinen that has been extended to include a book curse. [Summary by
