Royal MS 3 C III

EPISTLES OF S. PAUL to the Romans and Corinthians, in Latin, of S. Jerome's version ; with the commentary of Petrus Lombardus (cf. 2 C. ii). The catchword for the beginning of the Epistle to the Galatians is at the foot of the last leaf, so that probably the MS. formerly contained the complete work. On the fly-leaf at the end (f. 150) is a brief epitome of the 'Regule Tychonii' beg. 'Prima Regula est de Domino et de eius corpore, quod de uno ad unum loquitur'. Printed by Pitra, Spicilegium Solesmense, iii, P. 397; cf. Burkitt, The Rules of Tyconius (Texis and Studies, iii. 1, Cambridge, 1894), p. xxi. Written in a 13th cent. charter-hand. Another hand has added the following summary of the rules in verse (printed, with verbal variations, by Burkitt, op. cit., p. 86):-

Regula prima caput nostrum cum corpore iungit. Corpore de uero loquitur mixtoque secunda: Tercia describit quid lex quid gratia possit. Quarta genus speciem. totum partemque remouit [marg. rerniscet]. Tempora comunicat [interl. commutat] maiora minoraque quinta. Sexta refert iterum que primo facta fuerunt. Septima serpentis sibi membra (sic) caputque reflectit.' Vellum; ff. 150. 1 ft. 2.1/4 in. x 9.3/4 in. XIII cent. Double columns. Gatherings (beg. f. 2) of 12 leaves, with catchwords; in some cases numbered at the end in red. Sec. fol. 'Nec epistola'. Initial letters of Epistles illuminated. Theological notes have been added in the margins, and on the first fly-leaf (f. i b). Belonged to John, Lord Lumley (f. 2, not autogr.). Cat. of 1666, f. 3 b (where the commentary is attributed to Petrus Comestor) ; CMA. 7981.
