Abstract/Contents

Summary: CCCC MS 58 is a copy of the commentary on Ecclesiastes by Stephen Langton (c. 1150-1228), teacher, theologian and archbishop of Canterbury (1207-1228). The manuscript is currently dated to the early thirteenth century, and was therefore made during the lifetime of its author; the provenance is unknown, but a scribal colophon locates the book to a certain 'Vallis Dei', a name common to numerous religious houses in the Middle Ages. Langton's biblical commentaries have received little scholarly attention compared to his sermon collections; hence CCCC MS 58 has been studied rather less than other Parker Library manuscripts which contain sermons by Langton, such as CCCC MS 450 and CCCC MS 459.
