Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 377: English Statutes
Abstract/Contents
- Summary
- CCCC MS 377 contains three distinct items, seemingly with no connection to each other. The first is a twelfth-century Calendar which James, somewhat elliptically, described as having 'a certain German flavour'. The second item, which makes up the greater part of the manuscript, is a late fourteenth-century collection of English statutes (or material such as writs and letters patent conventionally accorded the status of statutes). To this has been added the third item, a fifteenth-century list of religious who possessed temporalities in the diocese of Ely. Nothing is known of how these disparate texts came to be included in the same codex, or how it came into Parker's possession, if indeed it was not he who combined them from separate codices.
