Summary:
This manuscript contains the text of all the Pauline epistles
together with the Glossa Ordinaria: (ff. 5v-32v) Romans; (ff.
32v-55r) First Corinthians; (ff. 55r-69v) Second Corinthians; (ff.
69v-76v) Galatians; (ff. 76v-84v) Ephesians; (ff. 84v-89v)
Philippians; (ff. 94v-98v) First Thessalonians; (ff. 98v-100v)
Second Thessalonians; (ff. 100v-111r) First Timothy; (ff.
111r-115v) Second Timothy; (ff. 115v-118r) Titus; (ff. 118r-119r)
Philemon; and (ff. 119r-137v) Hebrews. These are not the only
Biblical texts in the manuscript. The flyleaves contain fragments
of the Gospels and the books of Maccabees, separated by liturgical
prayers. The first two leaves of the codex itself contain notes on
passages from the New Testament, written by o.a. Jerome and Origen.
Lastly, fol. 5r has a poem named 'Versus de mysterio missae',
written by Hildebert of Lavardin (d. 1133), bishop of Le Mans and
later archbishop of Tours. The manuscript dates to the thirteenth
century, more specifically the second quarter of that century, and
is located by Janzen on stylistic grounds to another abbey,
probably Cistercian, in France or Flanders. She also credits this
codex with probably being the oldest intact manuscript surviving
from the Ten Duinen abbey. As with most copies of the Glossa in the
collection, the text of the epistles is written in a central column
with interlinear glosses, and surrounded by two columns with
glosses. Titles and initials have been added in red ink, and a few
initials are decorated. The binding is contemporary and a prime
example of an early Cistercian binding: calf over oak boards, with
traces of clasps and metal mounds. On the final leaf we find a
ownership inscription of the Ten Duinen abbey, together with a
remark on the manner of acquisition: 'ex dono magistri Franconis'.
De Poorter has theorised that this is the same as Franco de
Maldegem, provost of Saint Donatian's in Bruges. More recently
however, Janzen has questioned this identification. [Summary by Dr.
