Royal MS 11 B XII

'COMPENDIVM legis Christi et canonis sacri super quartum Sentenciarum', to which title is added in another hand 'doctoris resoluti Baconis': the quaestiones of Johannes Bacon or Baconthorpe on the Sententiae of Petrus Lombardus, lib. iv (cf. 9 C. VII, and for the other three books 11 C. VI). The extreme carelessness of the writing is probably the chief cause of the difference of the text from the printed editions. Repetitions and wholesale omissions occur constantly, the latter being gencrally restored by another hand in the margin, or added by the original scribe at a later point, so that the order of the contents is in complete confusion. There is a rough index on ff. 1-4.

Vellum; ff. 231. 11 in. x 8 in. XIV cent. Written in England. Sec. fol. '-bel fuit'. Initials in red and blue. On f. i is a pressmark 'f. 18^m'; the form is that of the London Carmelites (cf. 13 A, XVIII, 13 C. VII), to whom the MS. probably belonged, although not noted by Leland, who mentions two other works of Baconthorpe's in their library (Collectanea, iii, p. 59). Cat. of 1666, f. 2; CMA. 8169.
