Summary: CCCC MS 57 is a witness to the intellectual interests of the Benedictine Reform movement in tenth-century England. It contains a collection of Benedictine texts, including the Rule, and a version of Usuard's Martyrologium with Abingdon additions. It was written in Square minuscule at the end of the tenth century or the start of the eleventh either at Canterbury, since its texts are related to Canterbury manuscripts of similar material, or at Abingdon, where it has certain early provenance. The additions to the Martyrology provide a large number of obits of people connected with the monastery of Abingdon; unfortunately they have been badly damaged by a later binder's trimming. In the eleventh century some damage to the manuscript was repaired by a scribe writing an imitiation of the original Square minuscule script.
