Description:
CCCC MS 315 contains thirteenth-century copies of texts relating to the Bible and to the history and geography of the Holy Land, such as an excerpt from Bede's De temporum ratione and his De locis sanctis, Richard of Saint-Victor OSA (d. 1173), In uisionem Ezechielis, and Andrew of Saint-Victor OSA (d. 1175), Expositio hystorica in librum Regum. It is common for works by Bede to be found in manuscripts also containing Andrew's works. Members of the Victorine school focused exclusively on the books of the Old Testament, but while Richard's commentaries are allegorical, Andrew's are historical. It should be noted that the text which was previously thought to be a commentary on Maccabees has now been identified as Andrew's historical Dossier. Van Liere used CCCC MS 315 for his edition of the works of Andrew of Saint-Victor. The manuscript also contains some notes pertaining to a journey during which the writer was at Montpellier and Cologne. An ex libris inscription identifies the manuscript as having belonged to the Franciscan convent at Oxford.
