Abstract/Contents

Summary: CCCC MS 154 contains a number of works, mostly homiletic in nature, by Anselm of Canterbury OSB (d. 1109), Augustine, and related authors. It was written in England in the first quarter of the fourteenth century. An ex libris inscription records that it was given to St Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury, by the monk John of London (fl. c. 1290-1330), and it can be identified in the surviving St Augustine's catalogue.
