Summary:
Manuscript 247 is the Summa by Robert of Courçon (d. 1219), which
was owned by Ten Duinen Abbey. It dates back to the thirteenth
century (c. 1204-1210). In this work, Robert systematically deals
with theological matters. The manuscript starts off with a table of
contents in two columns, with the chapters and Roman numerals and
letters next to each other (Folio Ir-4v). Each chapter discusses a
theological matter. The chapters are divided into three parts: a
question, arguments and counter-arguments, and a conclusion. Each
part is indicated in the margin in red ink. The manuscript contains
some illumination: initials decorated in pen with red and green.
The initials are sometimes decorated with human or animal figures.
A dragon motive is featured throughout the document. [Summary by
