Scope & Content:

PETER OF BLOIS, letters and opuscula (cf. 8 F. XVII). The arrangement of the letters does not agree with that of any other of the Museum MSS., even among those (e.g. Arundel 227, Harley 3672, 3709, Add. 15218, 21148) which present the same type of text. According to Dr. Giles, however, the same arrangement is found in an Oxford MS. (New Coil. cxxvii), which supplies a defect here (after f. 144) of the last eighteen letters. Contents :-

1. 'Conquestio Petri Blesensis Bathoniensis archidiaconus (sic) super nimia dilacione Ierosolimitani itincris': op. iv of Goussainville (Migne, Patr. Lat. ccvii. 1057). Beg. 'Quis dabil capiti, &c.. Vtinam in fietum'. f. 1.

2. 'Passio Reginaldi principis olim Antiochini' (ib.

957): on the life of Reginald of Chatillon (d. 1187). Beg. 'Antequam comedam suspiro'. f. 6.

3. 'Exortatio ad eos qui nec accipiunt nec predicant crucem' (ib. 529, as ep. ccxxxii). Perhaps the 'opusculum nouellum de assertione fidei' mentioned in the Invectiva. Beg. 'Dicite pusillanimes'. f. 14 b.

4. lncipiunt epistole Petri Blesensis Bathoniensis archidiaconi'; containing originally 138 (see rubrics at end, f. 183 b), but the last eighteen are lost. Two of the remaining and one of the lost letters are really opuscula, viz.:-(a) De institutione episcopi, ep. cxxix of the 1519 edition, opusc. viii of Goussainville (ib. 1097). f. 122 b; -(b) Invectiva, ep. 136, opusc. ix of Gouss. (ib. 1113). f. i85 b;-(c) Instructio fidei, a letter of Alexander III, opusc. v of Gouss. (ib. 1069). Lost. Prefatory letter beg. 'Henrico dei gratia ... Rogatus a vobis'. f. 17.

5. 'Super Iob': the Compendium in Job, opusc. iii of Gouss. Imperfect at the beginning to the words (ib. 809 C) 'laudes offerre'. f. 145.

6. 'Liber Petri Blesensis archidiaconi London. de amicicia Christiana et dilexione dei et proximi': prologue and first tract only of the two as printed, Gouss. op. xi (ib. 871). Cf. 7 C. I, art. 25. Prologue beg. 'Quoniam diminute sunt'; tract, 'Subsannabit aliquis'. f. 151.

7. 'Opusculum Petri Blesensis archidiaconi London. contra perfidiam Iudeorum': opusc. x (ib. 325). Beg. 'Querelam in litteris tuis'. f. 161. Vellum; ff. i + 185. 10 in. x 7 in. XV cent. Gatherings of 12 leaves (xiii2, xiv5, xv12, xvi10), with catchwords. Double columns. The scribe's name, Will. Bedmystre, al. Bedmestre, occurs ff. 161 183, &c. Sec.fol. 'tuo da'. Coarse illuminated initials and borders' Cat. of 1666, f. 17; CMA. 8221.
