Selection of works by Lawrence of Durham (approximately 1114-1154),
monk and prior of Durham Priory, probably compiled shortly after
his death at Durham Priory as a memorial. It includes a full page
portrait of a scribe at work, assumed to represent Lawrence. This
manuscript contains all the works of Lawrence, apart from his early
life of St Brigit and some minor works ascribed to him or referred
to by other writers of which no copies are extant. On the life and
works of Lawrence, see Sharpe (1997), 359-361, Rigg (1992), 54-61,
Durham monks, 142-143 and ODNB.
