Royal MS 5 D IV-V

5 D. iv, v S. AUGUSTINE, Enarrationes super Psalmos: the second and third volumes of a set, containing Ps. li~c and ci-cl respectively. To vol. ii is prefixed a summary of contents (ff. 2-6), not included in the sheet-numeration.

Vellum; ff. i + 226 and 225. i ft. 3.1/2 in. x 10.1/2 in. and 1 ft 3.5/8 in x ii in. Early XII cent. Gatherings of 8 leaves (vol. i, i⁷, ii⁷, xiv⁶, xx⁶, xxix⁶), in vol. i numbered at the end, in vol. ii at beginning and end. Double columns. Sec. fol. 'et sacrata' and (vol. ii) 'regnum celorum'. Vol. i has coloured initials, slightly ornamented. vol. ii has a good ornamental initial at the beginning (f. 7, pl. 41 d), and plain coloured initials elsewhere. In both vols. the initials of sentences are marked with red. Perhaps executed at Canterbury. Both vols. belonged to Archbishop Cranmer (i, f. 1, ii, f. 7, name not autogr.); vol. ii (and probably vol. i also) subsequently belonged to john, Lord Lumley (ii, f. 2, name not autogr.) ; cf. the Lumley cat, (Add. MS. 36659), f. 3, 'Augustinus super psalmos 100 posteriores, duobus voluminibus manuscriptis'. Probably cat. of 1666, f. 4; vol. ii may be CMA. 8644.
