Summary:
Manuscript 147 holds three texts from two different authors: (ff.
1r-166v) Gilbertus de Hoilandia in Canticum canticorum; (ff.
166v-174v) Expositio super orationem dominicam; and (ff. 174v-190v)
Expositio super symbolum Constantinopolitanum, recensio prima. The
first two texts, comprising the majority of the manuscript, have
been written by Gilbert of Hoyland (d. 1172), an English abbot and
member of the Cistercian Order. His sermons on the Song of Songs,
taking up the first 166 leaves in this manuscript, were a
continuation of the sermon-commentary left unfinished by the death
of Bernard of Clairvaux; following Gilbert's own death the series
was completed by John of Ford. The third text was originally
attributed in this manuscript to Simon de Cascia (d. 1348), until
this assumption was debunked in the seventeenth century by the Ten
Duinen monk Carolus de Visch. He correctly credited Simon of
Tournai (d. 1201) with writing the text. As the manuscript was
copied in the first quarter of the thirteenth century, Simon de
Cascia could impossibly have been the author. It is believed to
have been copied in Ten Duinen. The texts are presented in two
columns per page, with red initials. The first initial, on f. 1r,
is decorated with foliage in penwork. [Summary by Dr. Mark
