'LIBER SCINTILLARVM' and other theological collections in Latin, viz.:-
1. 'In nomine dei summi incipit liber scintillarum Cassiodori senatoris de diuersis uoluminibus'; the work (probably) of Defensor (see 6 D. V, art. 2, &c.). The same attribution to Cassiodorus Senator occurs in a catalogue of Christ Church, Canterbury, Cotton MS. Galba E. iv, f. 145. Printed in Migne, Patr. Lat. lxxxviii. 599. Preceded by a table of tituli, but no preface. The chapter De doctoribus, which is wanting in Migne's text, is present. Beg. 'Dominus dicit in euangelio Maiorem caritatem'. Imperfect by loss of leaves after f. 98, ending in cap. lxxxii (Migne's cap. lxxx) 'et diuina eloquia le[uantur]'. f. 3.
2. 'Plures sentencie Anselmi' (so table of contents). The beginning of this article is probably lost, what remains being a single extract from a letter of S. Anselm, lib. iii, ep. clix (Migne, clix. 194), beg. 'Quod de altari et de ecclesia quesiuistis non mihi ad presens occurrit'. f. 103.
3. Other extracts, from S. Augustine and S. Gregory. Beg. 'Quos baptizauit ludas non sunt iterum'. f. 103 b. Ff. 99-106 were formerly numbered Roy. App. 8, ff. 1-8. Vellum; ff. 106. 83/4 in. x 61/4 in. XIII cent. Gatherings of 8 leaves (12). Sec. fol. 'cetere uirtutes '. Initials in red, blue, and green. Belonged (17th cent.) to Thomas Unett, whose name is on f. 1 with a device representing the Sacred Heart; afterwards to John Theyer, senior, in whose hand are several notes. Theyer salecat. no. 187 ; CMA. 6576.
