Description
  • A miscellany comprised of two booklets, produced in Germany. The first booklet (fols. 1r-18v) contains a copy of Peter Lombard, Sentences (Lib. IV, incomplete) produced in the first half of the thirteenth century. The second booklet (fols. 19r-38v) was produced in the late twelfth century and contains excerpts of Rather of Verona, Synodica, excerpts of Adalgerus, De studio uirtutum, and substantial selections of Buchard of Worms, Decretum. John Burden (2019) suggests that the second booklet has some connection with the diocese of Augsburg in Germany and that the copy of Buchard's Decretum may have been copied from Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, CLM 4570 (completed in 1108). The opening quire has been stained by a reddish-brown substance which has effaced some of the text. For a printed description of this manuscript's contents, see Gura (2016), pp. 558-61.

Owning Institution
  • Saint Mary’s College Cushwa Leighton Library Rare Book Room. Notre Dame, IN.
Provenance
  • Acquired by Saint Mary's College in March or April of 1944, according to an April 20, 1944 article in the South Bend Tribune. Although this volume arrived at Saint Mary's in 1944, the acquisition number written in the lower, inner margin of fol. i verso reads: "74781 Dante Oct '62". This acquisition number both seems to have been written eighteen years after the volume arrived at Saint Mary's College and misidentifies that manuscript as having been a part of a larger donation of items associated with Dante's works, also gifted to the College in 1944. The South Bend Tribune article, however, states that the acquisition of this manuscript occured independently from the Dante donation. Sticker of "Cosmopolitan Science & Art Service Co. Inc. 638 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY" on rear pastedown. Originally catalogued by Saint Mary's College as B765 P47 S4 1200. Included in Hirsch, Valuable Manuscripts, no. 21, where it was listed for sale for 400 Reichsmark in the early 1930s.
