Summary:
As the title indicates, is manuscript 192 a collection of
commentaries and lectures by four scholars on Petrus Lombardus'
Sententiae. The first (ff. 1r-44v) is the Lectura super Sententias
of Roger Roseth, a Franciscan scholar from England active in the
1330s; followed (ff. 45r-80v) by the commentary of Thomas de
Buckingham (d. 1351), an English cleric and chancellor of Exeter
cathedral; and (ff. 81r-146v) by the Lectura super Sententias of
the mid fourteenth-century Carmelite scholar Oswald Anglicanus. The
fourth text (147r-166v) is the Quaestiones by Facino d'Asti
(Facinus de Ast), an Italian Augustine cleric. Originally it was
believed to have been written by Robert Cowton, an early
fourteenth-century Oxford scholar, thus giving the manuscript
originally a completely English outlook. The manuscript is written
in two columns, with coloured initials. Unlike most manuscripts in
the collection, this is one of the few examples carrying an exact
date of production. Twice even, as the first two texts both contain
a colophon. From this valuable information we learn that the first
text was completed on July 28th 1374 by Nicolas de Ranc, hailing
from the diocese of Rheims, at the request of lord John Thomas of
Ten Duinen in Flanders. One and a half month later, on September
1st, Nicolas finished the commentary of Buckingham, writing in
Paris at the house of lord John. The other two texts have been
written by a different hand than the one identified as Nicolas de
Ranc, and are undated. [Summary by Dr. Mark Vermeer] Title:
