Description
  • Summary:
    Manuscript 503 is, similar to ms. 192, a codex with a distinct English outlook. It contains five commentaries; a quodlibet, two commentaries on Aristotelian works, and two on the Sentences. The first text, the (ff. 1r-20v) De quolibet Rodinton is attributed to the Franciscan philosopher and Oxford theologian Johannes de Rodington (1290-1348), although this attribution has been doubted by more recent scholarship. The next three texts, (ff. 20v-50v) Questiones supra librum de generatione, (ff. 51r-79v) Questiones morales edite a magistro Clariton de Anglia, and (ff. 79v-105r) Quaestiones super libros Sententiarum, have been written by Richard Kilvington (c. 1302-1361), another Oxford scholar and doctor in Theology. The first two sets of questions concern the De Generatione and the Ethica of Aristotle, fitting the arts curriculum. The questions on the Sentences reflect the influence both William Ockham and John Scotus had on Kilvington. The final text, (ff. 106r-115v) Quaestiones seu determinationes super librum Sententiarum, have been written by an anonymous scribe who is called Monachus Niger. Scholars agree that he was probably a Benedictine and that he lectured at Oxford in the late 1330s. The codex was written as a single unit, in two columns per page and in a textualis script. Space has been preserved for decorating, in particular for initials, but these have not been added. The margins are empty, and there are no signs of usage. The codex is bound in a post-medieval leather binding. The fenestra has survived and is attached to the first fly leaf. The codex was originally owned by the Ter Doest abbey, and found its way into the collection of Ten Duinen. The cross-shaped stamp of the latter abbey is found on the first and final leaves.
