Description:
The miscellany of seventeen texts in CCCC MS 451, dating from the late twelfth or early thierteenth century, has no apparent unifying them. They include the Epistolae of Hildebert of Lavardin (1056-1133), theological tracts by Richard of Saint-Victor OSA (d. 1170) and Achard of Saint-Victor OSA (d. 1170), the De disciplina clericali of Petrus Alfonsi (fl. early twelfth century), the Historia Apollonii regis Tyri (a text originating in late antiquity), and several sermons on the Virgin Mary, some by Ambrosius Autpertus, Fulbert of Chartres (d. 1029) and Anselm of Canterbury OSB (d. 1109). A press mark shows the book to have been in the library of the Benedictine abbey of St Mary, York.
