Abstract/Contents

Summary: The main contents of CCCC MS 30 are commentaries on books of the Old Testament by the Augustinian canon, Andrew of Saint-Victor (c. 1110-75). Although English, he entered the Parisian abbey of Saint-Victor, but returned to England as abbot of Wigmore 1147-55 and again 1161-3, returning to Paris for the period 1155-61. This manuscript is one of the very few which contain these commentaries. In addition to Andrew's works, the book contains Bede's commentary on Proverbs and Jerome's on Ecclesiastes.
Contents: Commentary on the Heptateuch -- Commentary on Kings -- Dossier -- De temporum ratione (excerpt) -- Etymologiae (excerpt from book 5, chapters 37-38) -- Commentary on Proverbs and Ecclesiastes -- Commentary on Proverbs -- Commentary on Ecclesiastes -- Commentary on the Minor Prophets
