Abstract/Contents

Summary: The main text in CCCC MS 458 is the De providentia Dei by John Chrysostom (c. 347-407) in the translation by Ambrogio Traversari (Ambrose of Camaldoli) OSB Camald. (1386-1439). This is followed by a sermon by John Chrysostom and the Historia Griseldis by Francesco Petrarca (1304-74). At the end of the book is a short tract on tribulation. The manuscript was made in the southern Netherlands, and the sermon by John Chrysostom has a colophon dating its writing to 1468. A coloured woodcut of the Doubting of Thomas has later been pasted into the book.
