Description: | St. Paterius (who died in 604 or 606) was a Roman monk and notary under Pope Gregory the Great. At the pope's request, he made a compilation of excerpts from Gregory's works, and arranged them in biblical order, to form a sort of commentary on the scriptures. This copy was written at the Augustinian abbey of St. Mary's, Cirencester.
At the start of the section on the book of Job, after a numbered list of its chapters, is a fine initial 'C' in green, filled with multi-coloured foliate ornament. At the bottom edge of the page is a quire number in roman numerals: '.XVII.' | 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 |
