- Description
-
- This manuscript from the 2nd half of the 10th or early 11th century was written in Old English, most likely by six scribes that were working in South-East England, perhaps London. The manuscript contains the Regula Pastoralis (Rule of Pastoral Care) by Pope Gregory the Great (b. c. 540, d. 604), which once included a preface addressed to Hehstan (d. 879), Bishop of London (see Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Junius 53). This indicates that the text is directly derived from the Old English translation of the Regula Pastoralis that King Alfred (b. 849, d. 899) produced in the 890s and sent to his bishops as part of an educational programme that was aimed at promoting learning and scholarship within Anglo-Saxon society. The Old English translation of the Regula Pastoralis survives in six manuscripts. This copy, however, is imperfect: by the 17th century, the manuscript was most likely missing a quire between f. 42 and f. 43 as no variant readings are recorded for this section of the text in the transcript of the Old English translation that was made by the Dutch scholar Franciscus Junius (b. 1591, d. 1677). This transcript can now be found in Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Junius 53. In 1731, moreover, the manuscript was heavily damaged in the Cotton library fire at Ashburnham House, causing the loss of 27 leaves. The manuscript’s final three folios, immediately following f. 52, were taken apart and bound into Cotton MS Otho B X, where they can now be found as ff. 61, 63, and 64. Certain leaves were previously classified as part of Cotton MS Appendix XLIII. Contents: ff. 1r-52v: Gregory the Great, Regula Pastoralis . Decoration:3 medium animal initials in green, yellow and red on f. 22v. Medium initials in red, yellow, blue and/or blue, sometimes featuring zoomorphic figures. Small initials highlighted in red. Rubrics in red.
