• Manuscript 29 is closely related to manuscript 28. 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. 1v-52v); Super librum Iudith (ff. 52v-65v and ff. 67r-68v); and Super librum Salomonis (ff. 69r-124v). The last two texts are erroneously attributed by the scribe to the thirteenth-century French Dominican Nicholas of Gorran (Nicolaus de Tornaco). They also both contain two anonymous sermons (ff. 65v-67r) 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. This manuscript also contains the biblical book of Proverbs (ff. 125r-135r); a fragment of the first two books of Kings (ff. 135v-136v); and a commentary of Honorius of Autun (d. 1154) on the Song of Songs (ff. 137r-188v). The manuscript is written in two columns, with initials in mostly red ink present at each chapter. The manuscript is bound in an early Cistercian binding from the twelfth or thirteenth century.
