Abstract/Contents

Summary: The ex libris inscription of this thirteenth-century manuscript gives it a provenance at the Dominican convent, London. However, on f. ivr is a fragment of a deed, dated to 1515, in the name of the public notary of Norwich diocese, suggesting that the manuscript may have been in Norwich in the early sixteenth century. The manuscript contains Hugh of Saint-Victor OSA (c. 1096-1141) on the Celestial Hierarchy by pseudo-Dionysius, as well as numerous texts by Augustine, pseudo-Augustine, Isidore of Seville (c. 560-636), Jerome, Drogo of Laon (fl. c. 1100) and others. The final section of the manuscript is the only extant copy of the first recension of Alexander of Canterbury (fl. 1100-1110), Liber ex dictis beati Anselmi.
