• Résumé : CCCC MS 430 contains three texts: Martin of Braga (c. 515-80), Formula uitae honestae, which was often attributed to Seneca in the Middle Ages; Ferrandus (d. 546/7), deacon of Carthage, Ad Reginum comitem, on Christian life for soldiers; and a sermon by Ambrosius Autpertus (d. 784). It was written in the late ninth or very early tenth century at the abbey of Saint-Amand in northern France, but was exported to England quite early, as is shown by tenth-century additions it received probably at St Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury. It probably moved again before the end of the middle ages, as it seems to be identifiable with a book seen at Glastonbury Abbey by John Leland (1506-72), and may be mentioned in a Glastonbury inventory of 1247. It constitutes interesting evidence for the transmission of texts from the Continent to England at around the time of the Benedictine Reform Movement.
