Summary:
Manuscript 157 contains two texts once thought to have been written
by Hugh of Saint-Victor (d. 1141), an important pre-Thomist
scholastic theologian and a prolific writer: (ff. 1v-37v) De arrha
anime; (ff. 38r-113r) Speculum ecclesie. Of these, the authorship
of the second text has been debated. The manuscript was copied in
the last quarter of the twelfth century, probably in the
scriptorium of Ten Duinen. The text is copied in a single column.
Initials have been added in alternately red and blue, with the
larger ones at the beginning of each text with additional
decoration (f. 1v + 38r). Rubrics and chapter numbers are in red
ink. The last verso bears an ownership inscription of Ten Duinen.
On the fly leaves are several notes and lines of text, mostly in a
fifteenth-century cursive hand. One of these hands has written the
titles of the two works on the front fly leaf. [Summary by Dr. Mark
