Description:
This book is in an extremely fragile condition and it has not been possible for much of it to be imaged, save for a few images of its cover and select pages. As a result of this fragility only the exterior and interior of the front cover, the first gathering recto and verso foliated ff. a-l, and the final page of the book with the explicit 'confessionale Johannis theotunici', foliated as f. m, have been imaged. The paper is disintegrating and cannot be stabilised, so it has not even been possible to foliate the manuscript throughout. . CCCC MS 501 was made in Bohemia, probably in Prague, in the fifteenth century. It contains four texts on theological, devotional and penitential subjects: a commentary on the 'Sentences' of Peter Lombard (c. 1095-1160) by Gregory of Rimini OESA (d. 1358), Pseudo-Augustine, 'Soliloquium animae ad Deum', James of Milan OFM (fl. c. 1296), 'Stimulus amoris', and John of Freiburg OP (d. 1314), Confessionale'. This volume is part of the Elbing collection; a group of manuscripts which belonged to a Brigittine convent at Elbing (Elblag), near Gdansk. The collection was donated to Corpus Christi College by either Richard Pernham (1583?-1628) or his wife Mary, whose name is in many of these books.
