- Scope & Content:
-
This composite manuscripts contains six parts (f. 3; ff. 4-77; ff. 79-86; ff. 87-107; ff. 109-135 and ff. 136-185) that were produced between the late 11th and late 12th centuries. The six parts perhaps may all have been written in England and were probably joined together in the library of Sir Robert Bruce Cotton (b. 1571, d. 1631). The second and third part were written at the cathedral church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Salisbury. The second of the two Calendars (ff. 72v-77v), however, was produced by a Continental scribe who was working either on the Continent or in England. The Calendar contains a number of unusual feasts that can also be found in the first, English Calendar. This indicates that the Continental version may have been brought to Salisbury and used there as an exemplar (Rushford, Atlas (2002), p. 38).
Aside from an Old English text (the Lord’s Prayer), the manuscript contains a variety of Latin works concerning the computus, calendar, astronomy, geography, prognostics, grammar, proverbs, theology, and penance. The manuscript contains a number of important texts: the second part contains the only extant complete copy of the Dialogus Ecclesiasticæ Institutionis (Dialogue of Church Institutions) by Ecgberht (d. 766), Archbishop of York.
The third part contains the only extant copy of the letter on the Paschal controversy by St Cummian Fada (b. 592, d. 662), Bishop of Clonfert (ff. 79r-83r).
The fourth part contains the only extant copy of the Compotus Constabularii (1175): a computistical work focusing on the dating of Easter that was written by an English author who had access to Arabic scientific materials. A monk from the cathedral priory of Christ Church, Canterbury, refers to him as ‘Magister Cunestabulus’. The cathedral priory’s surviving library catalogue indicates that Christ Church once owned three copies of this text (Moreton, ‘The Compotus’ (1999), 61-82; Nothaft, Dating the Passion (2012), pp. 146-54).
The manuscript’s second part’s contents are very similar to those of 10th-century manuscript Exeter, Cathedral Library, MS 3507; both manuscripts may share a common exemplar (see Ker, Medieval Manuscripts, II (1977), pp. 813-14).
