This composite manuscript contains two parts that were separately
produced at different locations and periods of time. The first part
(ff. 1-155) contains the Latin cartulary of the Benedictine priory
of St Mary and St Blaise at Boxgrove in the diocese of Chichester
that was written by several scribes in the 13th and 14th centuries.
The second part (ff. 156-293), written in the first half of the
12th century, contains sermons and letters by Ivo of Chartres (d.
1116), Marbodius (b. c. 1035, d. 1123), archdeacon at Angers and
Bishop of Rennes, and Hildebert of Lavardin (b. c. 1055, d. 1133),
Bishop of Le Mans and Archbishop of Tours. The parchment and script
of ff. 156-292 suggest an origin in South France (ex. info Michael
Gullick). The two parts may have been joined together in the 17th
century, perhaps in the library of their first known owner Sir
Robert Cotton (b. 1573, d. 1631) (see The Chartulary of Boxgrove
Priory , trans. by Fleming (1960), p. xxvii). However, it is not
clear from his extant loan lists and catalogues whether the two
parts already were joined together when they entered his collection
(see Tite, The Early Records (2003), pp. 121-22). It is also
possible that both parts were joined together much earlier, at
Boxgrove Priory. In this case, the second part may have arrived
there through the priory’s connection with its French mother
house, the Abbey of Lessay in Normandy, or that of Lessay’s
mother house: the Benedictine abbey of Bec in Normandy.
