Description

  • Summary: CCCC MS 199 is a copy of Augustine of Hippo, De trinitate, made c. 1090 at Llanbadarn Fawr by Ieuan ap Sulien (d. 1137). Ieuan was from a prominent literary family; his brother, Rhigyfarch (d. 1099), wrote a Life of St David and succeeded his father, Sulien (d. 1091), as bishop of St David's. Some of Ieuan's own verses in Latin and Welsh survive in the margins of this manuscript, but unfortunately part of the Welsh verse was lost in 1953 when the manuscript was rebound. The main text of this manuscript is written in a very attractive hand, with some beautiful decorated initials. The flyleaf contains a ninth-century fragment of Smaragdus (fl. 809-17) in a Carolingian minuscule, possibly from Rheims.


    Contents :

    incipit: (1v) De trinitate que deus summus

    rubric: (2r) Explicit prefatio siue prologus

    rubric: (2r) Incipit primus liber Sancti Aurelii Augustini Kartaginensis Episcopi de Sancta Trinitate

    Note: On these pages are three beautiful Celtic initials in vermilion, green, black, yellow, surrounded with dots. Subsequent initials to books and chapters are of the same fine execution. At the top of many pages are lines by the original scribe: many are partially cut off. His habit is to prefix a distich to the beginning of each book

    Note: Before most of these headlines is a sign like a Φ, a monogram of JO (for Johannes). The surviving lines are as follows

    Note: (2r) Tu genitor tu nate quidem tu spiritus alme | gap | finem pertingere dona

    Note: (4v) Si mihi concedat scribendi | gap | simul dederit sana uirtute foueri

    Note: (5r) almost wholly gone: Qui residet solio t ... per | gap | pergam ...

    Note: (9v) Conditor humane sobolis pariterque redemptor Nunc mihi presidium scribenti ferre memento

    Note: (10v) Auxilium dauidque tuum fer sancte paterne

    Note: (11r) Welsh inscription, discovered by Mr Bradshaw, communicated by him to the Rev. D. Silvan Evans, and printed (among Miscellaneous Notices) in Archaeologia Cambrensis, 1874, Series 4, Vol. V, p. 340. Mr Bradshaw (Collected Papers, p. 465) says in speaking of the MS. before us: In one case is a Welsh quatrain ... docked by the binder of part of its last line, but much resembling some lines in the Gododin, though not identical. Except the two poems in the Juvencus MS., it is the only scrap of verse written down before the xiith century as yet discovered, and so is most precious; especially as we can date it almost to a certainty, seeing it must have been written down some time between 1080 and 1090. It is in this scrap that the letter y first appears in Welsh, a letter which forms such a prominent feature in all later Welsh writing ... no one seems to have ventured upon a satisfactory version of it. The note in Arch. Cambr. says: According to Mr Bradshaw it was written ... between 1079 and 1089 at Llanbadarn Fawr in the county of Cardigan. The lines slope upward and are cut off at the end. Amdinnit trynit trylenn · Amtrybann teirbann treisguenn · Amcen creiriou (indistinguishable to me from creirum) gurth cyrrguenn · Amdifuys a ... patern ... The verses says Mr Bradshaw are marked by the point and the coloured initial, as well as by the rhyme.
