Abstract/Contents

Summary: This thirteenth-century manuscript contains a copy of the Distinctiones Abel of Peter the Chanter (d. 1197), although in some instances scholars have misidentified it as the text of the same name by Andrew of Saint-Victor OSA (c. 1110-75). The manuscript contains some later additions, including fifteenth-century verses.
