Description
  • This manuscript contains the commentary on the Gospel of St Matthew by St Jerome (b. 347, d. 420), the Chronicon (Chronicle), a universal history written by Eusebius of Caesarea (b. c. 260, d. 339), the Miracula Sancti Trudonis (Miracles of St Trond) by Stephen of Saint-Trond (fl. c. 1050), and two anonymous saints' lives. The manuscript may have been put together at the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Trond (Sint-Truiden), also known as St Trudo’s Abbey, in two stages. According to Bischoff, ff. 1-56 were written in North Eastern France in the 3rd-4th quarter of the 9th century (see Bischoff, Katalog , II (2004), p. 97). The texts on ff. 114r-129v were written in the last quarter of the 11th century. The manuscript may have remained at Saint-Trond until the Abbey's dissolution in 1798. Contents:ff. 1v-56v: St Jerome, Commentary on Matthew (Books I-IV), with a prologue addressed to Eusebius of Cremona (d. 423), and a table of contents. ff. 57r-113v: Eusebius of Caesarea, Chronicon , with additions from St Jerome, Prosper of Aquitaine (b. c. 390, d. c. 463), Marius of Avenches (b. 532, d. 596), and an anonymous author, to A.D. 623. ff. 114r-127r: Stephen of Saint-Trond [Stepelinus Trudonensis], Miracula Sancti Trudonis . ff. 127v-129r: Anonymous, Passio Sancti Gorgonii (The Martyrdom of St Gorgon). ff. 129r-129v: Anonymous, Passio Sancti Cornelii Pape (The Martyrdom of St Cornelius).
