Description
  • This manuscript from the early 12th century mainly contains a life and sermons concerning the 9th-century Benedictine monk St Neot, and the Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum (The Ecclesiastical History of the English People) by the Benedictine monk Bede (b. 672/3, d. 735). Its script and opening initial suggest a Continental influence, which may indicate that the manuscript may have been written by English scribes educated on the Continent or Continental scribes in England. The manuscript, for example, may have been written by Norman monks who came to the Benedictine abbey of St Neots in the 12th century. Contents: ff. 1r-8v: Vita Sancti Neoti (Life of St Neot), beginning ‘Incipit prologus in vitam beatissimi neoti Abatis Gloriosi confessoris Christi’. ff. 8v-9v: Two sermons for the Translation of St Neot, beginning ‘Sermo de Translatione corpois eiusdem confessoris Christi · vita de miraculis insignis’; and ‘Item alius Sermo · Quoniam dignissimi patris nostri neoti translationis diem cum devotione celebratis annua sollempernitate’. ff. 10r-109r: Bede, Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum , beginning ‘Incipit prefatio Gloriossimo regi cevulfo beda famulus Christi et presbiter ; historiam gentis anglorum ecclesiasticam quam nuper edideram libentissime tibi desideranti rex et prius ad legendum transmisi’. The manuscript contains two additions from the 1st half of the 12th century:f. 1v: Office for the feast of St Abraham, St Isaac and St Jacob, Patriarchs (9 October), beginning ‘Pro die nono octobris festivitas Sanctorum Patriarcharum abraam · Ysiac · et iacob ·officio · ad missam’. f. 9v: Abbo of Fleury (b. c. 945, d. 1004), dedicatory letter to Dunstan prefacing the Passio Sancti Edmundi Regis et Martyris , (Passion of King and Martyr St Edmund) beginning, imperfect (opening only), beginning ‘[D]OMINO SANCTAE metropolitanae dorobernensium ecclesiae archiepiscopo Dunstano · vere moribus et aetate maturo · abbo floriacensis monachus levita etsi indignus Christo Domino irriguum superius et irriguum inferius. [ff. i recto, i verso, and 109v are empty]. Decoration:Large and small initials in red and brown ink, some with minor pen-work decoration. Words highlighted with red ink and rubrics throughout the manuscript.
