Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 152: Nicholas Trevet OP, Annales sex regum Angliae. Belial. Epistolae etc
Description
Abstract/Contents
- Summary
- CCCC MS 152 contains two distinct sections. The first on vellum, dating from the middle years of the fifteenth century, consists of the Annales sex regum Angliae of Nicholas Trevet OP (c. 1258-c. 1334), a legal text by the canon lawyer, Iacobus de Theramo (Giacomo Palladini) (c. 1350-1417), Consolatio peccatorum, also known as the Processus Belial, a list of English kings to Henry VI and a collection of miracles and other scriptural tales. The second section is made up of a series of letters on paper between late fifteenth and early sixteenth century continental religious humanists, including Robert Gaguin OTrin (d. 1501), Johannes Trithemius OSB, abbot of Sponsheim (1462-1516), Mattheus Herbenus, chaplain of St Servatus, Maastricht, John Paleonydorus OCarm (1433-1507) and Arnoldus Bostius OCarm (1466-99). The manuscript contains material in the hand of the historian John Bale (1495-1563), and it is possible that Bale, himself a former Carmelite, put the two distinct volumes together before it passed, along with other manuscripts in his collection, to Parker.
