Description

Summary: CCCC MS 320 consists of two volumes, probably joined by Matthew Parker, who often had otherwise unrelated material bound together. The first volume contains sermons by Geoffrey Babio du Louroux, archbishop of Bordeaux (1135-58), and others, copied in the twelfth century. The second is an Anglo-Saxon Penitential. It contains two Penitential texts and some related material, including the Libellus responsionum found in Bede's Historia ecclesiastica in which Augustine of Canterbury and Gregory the Great correspond about the requirements of moral behaviour for the newly converted Anglo-Saxons. There are also some miscellaneous notes on things like the length of the Ark, and some added Old English material. T. A. M. Bishop linked this manuscript into a network of material written at St Augustine's, Canterbury in the second half of the tenth century or later.
