Summary:
An 18th-century note on the first leaf identifies the volume as
"pars secunda". The manuscript indeed forms a set with manuscript
148, bearing a close similarity with regard to content, date and
style. This volume contains 78 letters, all of which (unlike the
previous manuscript) were written by Saint Jerome. The manuscript
is produced in a typical Cistercian style: the text is organized in
two columns per page, with no decoration other than initials in red
and green ink. The initial of each letter is executed more
elaborately, written in either red or green ink and filled with
decorations in the other colour. The beautifully executed initial
of the first letter, on fol. 2r, diverges from this trend, as it
has a red-blue colour scheme. Throughout the text glosses,
marginalia and other additions are found, many in the text hand.
Greek words have their Latin transliteration written above (e.g. on
fol. 17r). According to Lieftinck, this manuscript might have been
produced in the scriptoria of Ten Duinen or Ter Doest, roughly
around the year 1200. In any case the book was intended from the
outset to have been in the possession of Ter Doest, as is evident
from the anathema on the final leaf: "Liber sancte Marie de Thosan,
Si quis eum maliciose abstulerit, anathema sit." The volume was
transferred to the library of Ten Duinen following the
incorporation of Ter Doest: the cross-shaped stamp of Ten Duinen is
found on the first and final leaves. The manuscript is bound in a
seventeenth-century binding of the 'Campmans' type. [Summary by Dr.
