Summary: CCCC MS 469 is a late thirteenth-century manuscript containing miscellaneous texts with later additions and notes down to the fifteenth century, containing what was probably a monastic commonplace book compiled as an introduction or guide to matters spiritual and temporal. Thus it includes the pseudonymous work attributed to Basil of Caesarea (c. 330-379), Admonitio ad filium spiritualem, excerpts from book 12 (De animalibus) of Isidore of Seville (d. 636), Etymologiae, a collection of proverbs, a French prose Brut from Egbert to Edgar, extracts from the writings of Geoffrey of Monmouth (d. 1154), and a list of English kings from William I to Henry V. Doubtless it was the historical material which primarily interested Parker, though how and from where he acquired this manuscript is unknown.
