Abstract/Contents

Summary: CCCC MS 17 is a twelfth-century volume of texts by Augustine of Hippo, and one sermon which is attributed to John Chrysostom in this manuscript, but which was sometimes claimed for Augustine in the Middle Ages. This sermon was included in Alain of Farfa's eighth-century Homiliary (Winter, item 92), and therefore circulated widely in the Middle Ages. MS 17 is not used for published editions of any of the texts it contains. M. R. James suggested it might be from Norwich cathedral priory, presumably because of the classmark it contains, but Neil Ker found no reason to sustain this attribution.

Provenance	On f. 1r at top B (xv, small). On margin Robart mas.r.. (in pencil) Johannes Bell or Bett in ink (xv): possibly from Norwich.
Decoration	The initials are very odd: some containing fish and birds have reminiscences of such Celtic work as is in MS 197. They are of somewhat rude execution. Red and green are prevailing colours. The initial on f. 1r, a panelled letter, has a Celtic flavour.
Writing	The first hand is a rather round one; narrower and more conventional hands follow: all seem contemporary.
