• Manuscript 28 is closely related to manuscript 29. Firstly they share the same major texts: three commentaries on books of the Bible, written by Stephen Langton (d. 1228), archbishop of Canterbury and one of the driving forces behind the Magna Carta: Super quattuor libros Regum (ff. 35r-95r); Super librum Iudith (ff. 95r-108r); and Super librum Salomonis (ff. 111v-174r). The last two texts are erroneously attributed by the scribe to the thirteenth-century French Dominican Nicholas of Gorran (Nicolaus de Tornaco). Furthermore, manuscripts 28 and 29 both contain two anonymous sermons (ff. 108r-111r) on the Virgin Mary and on the Annunciation. The type of script and layout in both manuscripts correspond to such extent that they were likely copied at the same location, possibly the scriptorium of Ten Duinen. Manuscript 28 also contains the Sermones varii Stephani Cantuariensis (ff. 2r-21v); three sermons that are attributed by the manuscript to Stephen (ff. 22r-26r); a Liber poenitentialis by the twelfth-century Parisian theologian Alain de Lille (1128-1202/3); a panegyric for Saint Agnes (ff. 33r-34v); and two short moralising texts on the final leaf (ff. 174v). The manuscript is written in two columns, with initials in red and blue ink present at each chapter. The manuscript contains an ownership inscription of Ten Duinen that has been extended to include a book curse. [Summary by Dr. Mark Vermeer]
