Description
  • This manuscript from the Benedictine abbey of Stavelot was written during the abbacy of Erlebald (1158-1192) or Gerard (1191-1210). The manuscript originally contained Gregory the Great’s Dialogi (Dialogues), a collection of sermons by Ephraim the Syrian (b. c. 306, d. 373), but a number of shorter texts were added at the end in the early 13th century. The manuscript was owned by Stavelot until the sale of its manuscripts in 1847. Contents: ff. 1r-90r, Gregory the Great, Dialogi (Books I-IV), beginning ‘Incipit liber primus Dialogorum Gregorij Pape’. ff. 90v-94v: Ephraim the Syrian, De Die Iudicii (On the Day of Judgment), ‘De Adventu domini et de die iudicii Omelia beati Effrem diaconi [text:] Venite, dilectissimi fratres, exortationem meam suscipite’. ff. 94v-98r: Ephraim the Syrian, De Iudicio Dei et Resurrection (On the Judgment of God and the Resurrection), beginning ‘Item omelia beati Effrem diaconi [text:] Gloria omnipotenti deo qui os nostrum superno nutu apparuit’. ff. 98v-100v: Ephraim the Syrian, De Beatitudine Animae (On the Blessedness of the Soul), ‘Item Omelia beati Effrem diaconi [text:] Beatus qui odio habuit hunc mundum et sollicitudo et meditacio eius’. ff. 100v-103r: Ephraim the Syrian, De Luctamine Spiritali (On the Spiritual Struggle), ‘Item omelia beati Effrem [text:] In luctaminibus huius seculi nullus sine agone certamine coronabitur’. ff. 103v-106r: Ephraim the Syrian, De Poenitentia (On Penance), beginning ‘Dominus ihesus Christus qui de caelo descendit de sinu patris et factus est nobis via salutis super penitentia nos instruens’ ff. 106v-112r: Ephraim the Syrian, De Dilectione Dei (On God's Love), beginning ‘Color me compellit dicere et iniquitas commminatur mihi ut filei’. The manuscript contains several additions: f. 112r: A prophecy about catastrophic events for the year 1229 attributed to John David of Toledo (fl. 12 th century) (‘Magister Johannes david toletanus’), added by a 13 th century scribe. f. 112v: Henry V (r. 1099-1125), Holy Roman Emperor, Versus Heinrici Imperator V ad filium suum, added by a 13 th -century scribe. ff. 113r-115r: Sigebert of Gembloux (b. c. 1030, d. 1112), Epistola ad Leodienses , added by a 13 th -century scribe. f. 115v: Responsory for the feast of St Gregory, ‘Fulgebat in venerando’, with music notation, added by a 13 th -century scribe. ff. 116r-116v: A 9 th -century leaf from a Missal, written in Central Italy.
