Abstract/Contents

Summary
There are two separate sections of different dates in CCCC MS 319. The first is an extract from Petrus Comestor (d. c. 1187), Historia scholastica, apparently reworked by Peter of Poitiers (d. 1205) as indicated in the text on f. 53. The second part of the book is the text on the liturgy by Honorius Augustodunensis (fl. 1106-1135, probably d. 1151), Gemma animae siue De diuinis officiis. The ex libris on f. 1 has been read by Ker as ownership by the Augustinian Abbey of Lessness.
