Description

  • Summary: The texts by various hands in CCCC MS 460, dating to the thirteenth or fourteenth century, are primarily aids for the study of the Bible, but with two tracts on the mass at the end. The first category comprises the Correctorium totius Bibliae attributed to Robert Grossesteste (d. 1253), the Corrogationes Promethei by Alexander Nequam OSA (1157-1217), and Bartholomew Cotton OSB (d. 1321/2), Compilationes de libro Britonis, which is based on William Brito OFM (fl. late thirteenth century), Expositiones uocabulorum Bibliae. One of the commentaries on the mass is by Hugh of Saint-Cher OP (c. 1200-63). The book also has the Constitutiones de uita clericorum by John Stratford (d. 1348), archbishop of Canterbury, Ker rejects M. R. James's suggestion that the book might have come from Norwich cathedral priory.
