Description
  • Summary:
    Manuscript 136 contains two texts purported to have been authored by Clemens Romanus, or pope Clement I (r. 88-99), but are now considered pseudo-Clementine literature. Originally written in Greek, most of these pseudo-Clementine texts are known through their Latin translation, made by Rufinus of Aquileia (d. 411). The first text is the (ff. 1r-114r) Recognitiones, written as an autobiography; followed (ff. 114r-117v) by the Epistula ad Iacobum, a letter to James the Just, brother of Christ and - according to Eusebius of Caesarea- bishop of Jerusalem, preceding the so-called Clementine Homilies. The manuscript has been produced in the thirteenth century, probably in the scriptorium of either Ten Duinen or Ter Doest. All texts are copied in two columns. Initials in red and green are found at the beginning of each text, and in the Recognitiones at the beginning of each of the ten books. Titles and rubrics are also in red ink. The last leaf bears an ownership inscription of Ter Doest that has been extended to include a book curse. [Summary by Dr. Mark Vermeer]
