Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 509: Johannes Marienwerder, Septililium uenerabilis dominae Dorotheae. Walahfrid Strabo, Vita et miracula Sancti Galli
Abstract/Contents
- Summary
- CCC MS 509, made in Germany, is a miscellany combining three volumes with texts with no obvious unifying theme, containing saints lives of Dorothy of Montau - Dorothea of Prussia (d. 1394) and Gall, tracts on penance and confession and a few sermons. The first text is the long Septitlilium uenerabilis dominae Dorotheae by Johannes Marienwerder (1343-1417), canon of the Teutonic Order at the cathedral of Marienwerder (modern Kwidzyn, Poland). The Confessiones of Dorothea of Prussia which form part of this work are in German. The next part of the book includes Henricus de Odendorp (c. 1350-99), Tractatus super decretalem de penitenciis et remissionibus. He was professor of canon law at the university of Vienna, and this is a treatise on the canon of the Fourth Lateran Council stipulating annual confession. The life of St Gall in the third section is by Walahfrid Strabo (d. 849). This volume is part of the Elbing collection; a group of manuscripts which belonged to a Brigittine convent at Elbing (Elblag), near Gdansk. The collection was donated to Corpus Christi College by either Richard Pernham (1583?-1628) or his wife Mary, whose name is in many of these books.
