Provenance
Perhaps from Coggeshall Priory in Essex. On the middle of f. iir in large red letters is a title not unlike those which occur in other Coggeshall books: ¶ Historica expositio Andree super Eptaticum et super Regum et super Paralipomenon et super parabolas et Ecclesiasten ¶ Et Beda super parabolas ¶ Jeronimus super ecclesiasten ¶ Andreas super xii prophetas. But on the same page in black ink xv or xvi is a scratched out mark B. 63. Such a mark sometimes points to Norwich.

Abstract/Contents

Summary
The main contents of CCCC MS 30 are commentaries on books of the Old Testament by the Augustinian canon, Andrew of Saint-Victor (c. 1110-75). Although English, he entered the Parisian abbey of Saint-Victor, but returned to England as abbot of Wigmore 1147-55 and again 1161-3, returning to Paris for the period 1155-61. This manuscript is one of the very few which contain these commentaries. In addition to Andrew's works, the book contains Bede's commentary on Proverbs and Jerome's on Ecclesiastes.
