Summary:
In this manuscript six texts are combined. Five of them are works
by the Venerable Bede (d. 735): (ff. 2v-28r) Beda super Actus
apostolorum; (ff. 28r-44r) Retractationes in Actus apostolorum;
(ff. 44v-100v) Beda super epistolas catholicas VII; (ff. 100v-105r)
De locis sanctis transmarinis; (ff. 105r-139v) Beda super
Apocalipsim. The last text (ff. 139v-143r) is the Biblical book
Baruch. The first and second text are both commentaries on the Acts
of the Apostles, with the latter being a revision of (parts of) his
first work. Since no commissioner is mentioned in the prologue to
the Retractiones, Bede himself must have deemed this revision
necessary. The third and fifth text are similar commentaries on the
Catholic Epistles and on the Book of Revelation. De locis sanctis
transmarinis is a text on the holy places and locations of
pilgrimage in the Holy Land. Bede based this work heavily on a
treatise by the Irish abbot Adomnán (d. 704), who in turn had
received most of his information from a Frankish bishop who had
visited the Levant. The book of Baruch includes solely the text,
with only a few comments or notes in the margins. All initials are
in red ink, some of them are larger. It is bound in a
seventeenth-century binding of the 'Campmans' type. [Summary by Dr.
