Présentation du contenu

  • Résumé : CCCC MS 39 is an early fourteenth-century copy of the Speculum naturale, the encyclopaedia of natural history by Vincent of Beauvais OP (1189/94-c. 1264). M. R. James suggested that the book might be from Norwich cathedral priory, but that has been rejected by subsequent research.

    Vincent of Beauvais OP - author

    3r-384v - Vincent of Beauvais OP, Speculum naturale, books 2-17 || VincentiiSpeculum Naturale I-XV

    Note : Without title: libri I - XV (II - XVII). Note that in the printed editions Liber I is the compiler's Preface to the whole Speculum, which is not in this copy. Liber I of this MS. therefore = Liber II of the print and so on. Further, books X and XI of the print are here shortened (esp. book X) into one book, Liber IX. Liber X of the MS. therefore = XII of the print and so on, XV of the MS. = XVII of the print.

    rubric : (3r) De diuersis mundi acceptionibus ex libro qui dicitur ymago mundi

    incipit : (3r) Mundi factura quinque modis describitur

    Note : Liber XV ends

    explicit : (384v) ubi de columba. Hec de auibus dicta sufficiant

    rubric : (384v) Explicit liber XVus sequitur XVIus.

    Note : In col. 2, in a different and smaller hand

    rubric : (384v) Incipiunt virtutes Rose marine

    incipit : (384v) Recipe florem ipsum in panno

    explicit : (384v) ab omni infirmitate custodit

Historique de la conservation

Source des données : Parker on the Web

  • At top of f. 1r (xv-xvi) is the word or name May. On f. 384v near the bottom in old pencil: I (or X) C. xii. At top of f. 1r an inscription has probably been cut off. I have an impression from the character of the writing (coupled with the press-mark, if press-mark it be, at the end) that the book is from Norwich Priory.
