Description
  • This manuscript contains a copy of the four books of the Dialogi (Dialogues) written in 593-594 by Pope Gregory I (b. c. 540, d. 604), commonly known as St Gregory the Great. The Dialogues discuss the miracles and prophecies of holy men in 6th-century Italy, especially those of Benedict of Nursia, to whom the second book is entirely dedicated, and were particularly popular among monastic audiences. This manuscript, written by a scribe who identifies himself as a cleric named Gaufridus, was written for a male religious community in Southern France, possibly the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Alyre in Clairmont (Auvergne). Contents: ff. 1r-2r: A list of chapters for Books 1-3 of the Dialogi . ff. 2r-88v: Gregory the Great, Dialogi (Books 1-4). [f. 88v is blank].Decoration: 1 miniature in red and brown ink on f. 18v: St Benedict of Nursia. 1 large historiated initial (‘Q’) in a frame, containing knot-work, in red and green, on f. 2r: Gregory the Great. 4 small historiated initials in red and brown ink. The subjects of the miniatures is as follows:f. 32v: A child, raised from the dead (described in Book 2, Chapter 32) inside the initial; a man with horns (a purgatorial demon?) below the initial. f. 40v: St Sabinus of Canosa. f. 48r: Benedict the monk (described in Book 3, Chapter 18). f. 61r: A man in a red robe, grabbing the initial ‘P’ [Rustic capital]. 3 large decorated initials with knot-work in green and orange (f. 1r, 18v, 36r). 1 small initial with knot-work in brown ink (f. 17v).
