MS. Bodl. 24

Summary Catalogue no.: 1867

Contents

Language(s): Latin

1. (fol. viii verso)
Gilbert of Hoyland, Letters
Rubric: Epistolæ. Gilleberti. quondam. abbatis. Hoylandie

Four letters, printed in Migne's Patrol. Lat. 184, coll. 289–298.

2. (fol. 19v)
Gilbert of Hoyland, Tractatus asceticus

The last in two parts, and followed by a homily, all as printed ut supra, coll. 251–290.

3. (fol. 96v)
Gilbert of Hoyland, Sermons on the Song of Songs (part)

The two first sermons on the Cantica Canticorum (ibid. coll. 11–18), but the first is very different in detail from the printed copy, and the second ends abruptly with the words 'adhuc & ex parte'.

These three parts are written in the MS. as if all covered by the first title. Some 16th cent. theological notes are on foll. vi, 107, partly perhaps by the 'Rector de Estwell'.
