Abstract/Contents

Summary: CCCC MS 416 is a twelfth-century manuscript which has a roughly contemporary contents list showing that it once contained a large number of works. However, all of these are now lost except for the Liber officialis of Amalarius of Metz (c. 780-850), a text explaining the liturgy of the mass and divine office. The standard Ely cathedral priory press mark can be found in the margin of f. 1 recto (see also CCCC MS 44). The flyleaf explains that it was given, presumably to Ely, by one William Stradesete. It later came into the possession of Matthew Parker.
