Description:
CCCC MS 439 consists of two volumes of the fourteenth century later bound together. The first contains the Compotus correctorius of Robert Grosseteste (d. 1253), one of three tracts attributed to him on the subject of the computus, that is on the reckoning of time and dates, particularly in regard to the Church year. The second volume contains three texts not thematically connected: the Liber scintillarum of Defensor of Ligugé (late 7th century), a florilegium of biblical and patristic sayings arranged according to themes, also in CCCC MS 337; Isidore of Seville (c. 560-636), De ortu et obitu patrum; Honorius Augustodunensis (fl. first half of twelfth century), Elucidarius (Elucidarium), also in CCCC MS 308.
