Description:
CCCC MS 433 is a manuscript containing a miscellany of texts copied in a number of hands between the thirteenth and the late fifteenth centuries. Among the notable or characteristic items in this volume are two Cluniac chronicles, one with much interest in affairs in the Welsh marches. The volume also contains the tract De miseria humanae conditionis by Pope Innocent III (1160/6-1219 - pope 1198-1216), the fable De Mauro bubulco, a version of the Miracula Sanctae Milburgae, as well as a treatise on the sacraments and a number of sermons. The Cluniac material has led to some speculation that this manuscript may be linked to the Cluniac house of St Milburga at Much Wenlock, Shropshire, though this has been disputed.
