Royal MS 9 C VII

'QVESTIONES Theologice et Canonice Reuerendi Doctoris Bacunthorpe Carmelite', on lib. iv of the Sententiae of Petrus Lombardus. For the author, john Bacon or Baconthorpe, called 'Doctor Resolutus', Pro. vincial of the Carmelites (d. 1346), see Dict. Nat. Biogr., Baconthorpe. Printed, Pads, 1485, Milan, 1510. Begins with a short preface (not in the printed text), 'In isto quarto super sentencias pertractantur', which contains the author's submission to the dogmas of the church (cf. another copy in 11 B. XII). The text, which beg. 'Utrum ex scripturis ueteris testamenti', has material differences throughout from the Milan edition, as is also the case with libb. iii in 11 C. VI. It concludes with an additional quaestio, 'Utrum operacio beatifica tam in homine quam in angelo sit eiusdem speciei'. An illegible colophon gave the scribe's name 'E finit . . . primat super sibi iungit et . . . posito scriptoris nomen habeto'. Then follows a table of tituli, with another colophon, 'Expliciunt tituli questionum reuerendi doctoris Bacunthorpe Carmelite super 4tum sentenciarum. quod Cole'. Vellum; ff. 247. 133/4 in. x 10 in. XIV cent. Gatherings of 8 leaves, with catchwords. Double columns. Sec. fol. 'igitur defuerunt'. No initials inserted. In the cat. of 1666, f. 17, this MS. and 11 C. VI are probably combined as 'Baconthorpus in lib. sententiarum vol. 2 folio'; CMA. 8294.
