Summary:
In manuscript 38 two commentaries on books of the Bible are bound
together. These were written by Stephen Langton (d. 1228),
archbishop of Canterbury and one of the driving forces behind the
Magna Carta: (ff. 1r-42v) Stephen Langton super Macchabeorum; and
(ff. 43r-124v) Stephen Langton super Hiezechielem. Both works are
also present in a contemporaneous collection of Langton's Bible
commentaries, known as manuscript 37. Manuscript 38 was copied in
the thirteenth century, possibly in either Ten Duinen or Ter Doest.
It must have been the work of multiple scribes, as more than one
scribal hand can be distinguished. The layout is overall similar,
with the text copied in two columns and all initials added in red
ink. The back cover contains a note with the contents of manuscript
39. The manuscript is bound in a seventeenth-century binding of the
'Campmans' type. [Summary by Dr. Mark Vermeer] Title:
