Description:

Sections of CCCC MS 202 date from the late twelfth century, and others from the thirteenth. In the first part of the manuscript, the thirteenth-century material includes seven lines of moral notes as well as the provisions of a Church Council relating to monastic affairs. The late twelfth-century material is largely Classical or Late Antique, including introductory material on Sidonius Apollinaris and Fulgentius, and the florilegium of the letters of Symmachus. The second part of the manuscript, possibly thirteenth century, contains a copy of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, with extensive marginal and interlinear glosses.
