Description
  • Summary: CCCC 519 is a Bohemian manuscript, written in the late fourteenth or early fifteenth century, probably originating at Charles University in Prague. It contains a Tractatus de septem sacramentis which has been attributed to the legal and theological scholar Nicholas Wigandi of Krakow, a student of Henricus Totting of Oyta (c. 1330-97), who received his doctoral degree at Prague in 1387. This text is known in only one other manuscript, Budapest, University Library MS 53. The next text in the manuscript is a short tract by Matthew of Krakow (1330/35-1410) with an explicit signed by the scribe 'Wenczeslay Sporiczeri de Chomuthaw'. The final text is the De exterioris et interioris hominis compositione by David of Augsburg OFM (d. 1272), also in CCCC MS 256. This volume is part of the Elbing collection, a group of manuscripts associated with the Brigittine convent at Elbing (Elblag), near Gdansk which was founded in 1458 and deserted in 1521. Almost all the Elbing manuscripts contain the ownership inscription of Mary Pernham, wife of Richard Pernham (d. 1628), Fellow of the college and pastor Anglicus of St Marien church in Elbing from 1618-24. The book retains its original binding with an inscription providing evidence of Elbing ownership.
