MS. Rawl. G. 109

Contents:
Hugo Primas, Hildebert of Lavardin, etc. — Late 12th or early 13th century. Rigg (p. 476) hypothesizes: The sequence of compilation could have been something like this: (1) Part IV, by A, with red, green and blue decoration; (2) addition of Part I by A; (3) addition of Parts II-III by B: (4) addition of Part V by C; (5) addition of Part VI; (6) quire numbering.; Rigg (p. 480), pointing to similarities between this manuscript and London, British Library, Cotton MS. Titus A. xx, argues that the manuscript was almost certainly written in England. The ‘Frenchness’ of MS. Rawl. G. 109 is explained by the fact that it is a fairly faithful copy of a lost anthology compiled some forty or fifty years earlier, probably in France.
