This codex contains the miracles of Saint Thomas of Canterbury,
which the Benedictine monk Benedict of Peterborough began to
collect after Thomas’ murder on December 29, 1170. The
manuscript, which has beautiful initials with scroll ornamentation
on p. 12, was written by two hands in the Southwestern region of
Germany towards the end of the 12th or the beginning of the 13th
century. The collection of miracles is divided into four books, of
which the last nine chapters (IV.95-96, V.1-4, VI.1-3 of this
edition) and the following letter from the Bishop of Durham, Hugh
du Puiset, are not numbered. The manuscript is listed in the
Monastery of St. Gall catalog from the year 1461.
