Manuscript 247 is the Summa by Robert of Courçon (d. 1219), which was owned by Ten Duinen Abbey. It dates back to the thirteenth century (c. 1204-1210). In this work, Robert systematically deals with theological matters. The manuscript starts off with a table of contents in two columns, with the chapters and Roman numerals and letters next to each other (Folio Ir-4v). Each chapter discusses a theological matter. The chapters are divided into three parts: a question, arguments and counter-arguments, and a conclusion. Each part is indicated in the margin in red ink. The manuscript contains some illumination: initials decorated in pen with red and green. The initials are sometimes decorated with human or animal figures. A dragon motive is featured throughout the document. [Summary by Sarah Vanroye]
