Summary:
Manuscript 139 is a composite manuscript of writings by two
authors. The first part is a collection of texts by Ephrem the
Syrian (d. 373), an important and early theologian in Eastern
Christianity. In (ff. 1r-46v) the Monita sancti Ephraei, six books
of several short treatises on - among others - penitence, the Day
of Judgement and the resurrection. The second part (ff. 46v-86r) is
the Vita s. Iohannis Eleemosynarii, a hagiography by Leontios of
Neapolis, a seventh-century bishop. It recounts the life of John of
Alexandria (d. 616/620), known also as John the Almoner or John the
Merciful, who is venerated as the patron saint of Italy and
Limassol in Cyprus. The manuscript was copied in the twelfth
century, probably in the scriptorium of Ten Duinen. The text is
copied in a single column. At the beginning of each text (and
within, of each book) is a large initial in red ink and decorated
with black penwork. Other elements in red ink are the rubrics. The
edges have been cropped, probably when the manuscript was rebound
in its current post medieval binding. Based on the two end leaves,
parts of a charter issued by aldermen of Bruges on December 10th
1558 (regarding the settlement of a conflict), the binding cannot
be older than the late sixteenth century. The cropping caused the
partial loss of the marginalia, made approximately at the time the
manuscript was copied. [Summary by Dr. Mark Vermeer] Title:
