• As the title indicates, is manuscript 192 a collection of commentaries and lectures by four scholars on Petrus Lombardus' Sententiae. The first (ff. 1r-44v) is the Lectura super Sententias of Roger Roseth, a Franciscan scholar from England active in the 1330s; followed (ff. 45r-80v) by the commentary of Thomas de Buckingham (d. 1351), an English cleric and chancellor of Exeter cathedral; and (ff. 81r-146v) by the Lectura super Sententias of the mid fourteenth-century Carmelite scholar Oswald Anglicanus. The fourth text (147r-166v) is the Quaestiones by Facino d'Asti (Facinus de Ast), an Italian Augustine cleric. Originally it was believed to have been written by Robert Cowton, an early fourteenth-century Oxford scholar, thus giving the manuscript originally a completely English outlook. The manuscript is written in two columns, with coloured initials. Unlike most manuscripts in the collection, this is one of the few examples carrying an exact date of production. Twice even, as the first two texts both contain a colophon. From this valuable information we learn that the first text was completed on July 28th 1374 by Nicolas de Ranc, hailing from the diocese of Rheims, at the request of lord John Thomas of Ten Duinen in Flanders. One and a half month later, on September 1st, Nicolas finished the commentary of Buckingham, writing in Paris at the house of lord John. The other two texts have been written by a different hand than the one identified as Nicolas de Ranc, and are undated. [Summary by Dr. Mark Vermeer]
