Summary:
Manuscript 297 holds three texts by Galand de Reigny (Galandus
Regniacensis), a twelfth-century Cistercian monk. The main text is
his Parabolium, a collection of 52 fables and fictional stories for
the spiritual development and entertainment of monks. Before and
after the Parabolium (ff. 1r-4r and 165r-167v) two letters have
been copied, both written by Galand to Bernard of Clairvaux. The
manuscript was copied in the final quarter of the twelfth century,
probably in Ten Duinen. The text is written in a single column per
page, with red ink used for the initials and rubrics. On the last
page (f. 167v) an ownership inscription of Ten Duinen abbey is
found. The manuscript is bound in a seventeenth-century binding of
the 'Campmans' type. [Summary by Dr. Mark Vermeer] Title:
