Summary:
This thirteenth-century manuscript contains the commentaries of
Hugh of Saint-Cher on four parts of the Bible: (ff. 1r-76v) on the
Pentateuch; (ff. 77r-118r) on Job; (ff. 119r-134v) on the Psalter;
and (ff. 135r-203v) on the Gospel according to Matthew. Hugh of
Saint-Cher (De Sancto Caro, d. 1263) was a French Dominican and
later a cardinal, whose commentary on the entire Bible was widely
read and studied. The texts are copied in two columns and
structured with decorated initials alternately in red and blue. On
203r an attempt had been made to create an alphabetical register of
important topics found in the Gospel of Matthew. This table was
organised in five columns. Only the first page was completed,
containing the letters A to C. On the final page of the commentary
of Matthew the ownership inscription of Ter Doest is found. The
manuscript is bound in a seventeenth-century binding of the
'Campmans' type. [Summary by Dr. Mark Vermeer] Title:
