Abstract/Contents

Summary: CCCC MS 131 is a fourteenth-century copy of Cassiodorus (d. c. 580), Expositio psalmorum on the first fifty psalms. His works on each of the three books of fifty psalms, widely read throughout the Middle Ages, seem to have travelled as separate volumes. This manuscript has not been used in any edition of this work, although M. Adriaen, the editor of the Corpus Christianorum Series Latina volumes, consulted it, discarding it as textually insignificant.
