Description: | St. Augustine, bishop of Hippo in North Africa (354-430) wrote a commentary on all 150 Psalms, but the work is so long that it is usually divided into three volumes, containing Psalms 1-50, 51-100, and 101-150. This is the third volume of such a three-volume set. Marginalia written by the same scribe as marginalia in other manuscripts probably owned in the Middle Ages by Bath Abbey, make it likely that this volume comes from there too.
Despite the very high quality of the script and the decoration of the first pages, most of this volume has relatively plain initials such as this 'P' and 'M', which introduce the prologue and commentary on Psalm 118. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
