History
MS. Bodl. 312 – Part 2
Contents
Language(s): Latin
Fragment: last few sentences of the 3rd dialogue (beg. 'mox per illum'), and a note about it by dr. Thomas Gascoigne, see Provenance; followed by ten blank leaves.
The letter of pope Innocent IV, Jan. 26. 1252/3, with the answer of the bishop in 1253: and (fol. 118) the long sermon of the bishop at Lyons in 1250: after which come (fol. 121r) long notes of some subsequent proceedings [Dicta et Scripta], and five almost blank pages. Originally there were perhaps 127 letters, but four leaves are wanting after foll. 129 (two) and 166 (two). The hand changes on fol. 157r and after fol. 166. After the letters (on fol. 172v) comes Grosseteste's treatise De potestate et cura pastorali [ep. 127], sometimes called Contra praelatorum ignaviam, and counted as a letter: beg. 'Moyses qui tradente Domino'.
