Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 307: Felix of Crowland, Vita Sancti Guthlaci. John Waleys OFM, Floriloquium and other works
Abstract/Contents
- Summary
- CCCC MS 307 consists of two manuscripts bound together, probably by Parker. The first is a copy of the Life of St Guthlac by Felix of Crowland (fl.eighth century) written in English Square minuscule, a script descended from earlier Insular minuscule. It has traditionally been dated to the ninth century, but more recent palaeographical work makes a date in the early tenth much more likely. It also has two acrostic poems on Guthlac, which have become corrupt in copying. The second part of the manuscript is a fourteenth-century collection of works by John Waleys OFM (d. 1285), and one text, the De ente et essentia, by Thomas Aquinas OP (1224/5-74).
