MS. Auct. D. 3. 2
Summary Catalogue no.: 2032
Contents
With the prologues of st. Jerome (those for Genesis cut out), in the following order of books, see fol. 467v: the Octateuch, Reg. 1–4, Paral., Ezra, Tobias, Judith, Esther, Macc., Psalmi (Hebrew and Gallican versions, as in the Canticles, fol. 198: followed by the canticles, litany, prayers, and Office for the Dead), Is., Jer., Threni, Baruch, Ez., Dan., the 12 Minor Prophets, Job, Parab. Eccl., Cant., Sap., Ecclus.: Matt. (fol. 360), Marc., Luc., Joh., Actus, Gen. Epp. (Jac., Pet., Joh., Jud.), Rom., Cor., Gal., Eph., Phil., Col., 'Epistola Pauli ad Laodicenses' (fol. 436v), Thess., Tim., Tit., Philem., Hebr., Apoc. In the lower margin is a list of contents of each page, according to old divisions of the books into chapters, of which Genesis has 83. At fol. 451 follow the Interpretationes Hebraicorum nominum. The scribe may be depicted on fol. 198. The insertion of a Litany and its accessories in the body of a Bible is extremely rare. On the whole the volume was probably written for a house of Austin friars, not canons; the relic day, as Mr. Bannister points out from fol. 470v, was between Nov. 2 and Nov. 6.
After the psalter (Hebrew and Gallican in parallel columns) follow the daily and weekly canticles (fol. 235), Te deum and Quicumque, the litany of the saints (fol. 237), antiphons and collects of the office of the dead (fol. 237v) and the order of the corresponding collects (fol. 237vb).
Followed by:
Temporale (fol. 469); sanctorale (fol. 469vd); common of the saints (fol. 470vc); four votive masses (fol. 470vd). Incipits only.
