- Description
-
Summary: CCCC MS 384 contains a sixteenth-century copy of the first Epistle of St John in Arabic and Latin. This manuscript was not part of Matthew Parker's bequest to Corpus Christi but instead bears a donation inscription stating the donor to have been one Thomas Dag (or Day). That this manuscript is missing from Thomas James' catalogue of 1600 suggests that this manuscript did not find its way into the college until the early seventeenth century.
Contents :
1r-14v - First Epistle of John in Latin and Arabic
Note: The Latin begins
incipit: (1r) In nomine Patris, etc. Dei unius Amen. Epistola Juchannae filii Zebdei, prima: quae est in ordine (Catholicarum) quarta. Cap. I. 1. Praedicamus vobis illum (corr. to in illo) qui perstitit (non amotus est) ab initio, etc.
Note: There are a good many corrections of the Latin, which occupies nine leaves
Note: The Arabic occupies five leaves and is very well written, with some attempt at ornamentation, by a native scribe
