Description
Abstract/Contents
- Summary
- The miscellany of twenty-four texts in CCCC MS 156 was originally in four separate volumes of differing dates The first is a printed book of the sixteenth century containing the Collations of John Cassian (c. 360-430/35). The other three sections date variously to c. 1400-1450 and c. 1425-1475. Several of the texts are Franciscan and Dominican and perhaps these three sections were compiled for the use of mendicants. They include works on indulgences and confession by François de Meyronnes OFM, Richard FitzRalph (d. 1360) and Richard of Saint-Victor OSA (d. 1173), and letters and sermons by Robert Grossesteste (d. 1253).
