General Description

Augustine’s Confessions (s.xii1) bound with Ferrandus De bono duce (s.xii2/4); song for St Augustine added s.xiimed-3/4.

James’ attribution of the manuscript to Christ Church, Canterbury (Ancient Libraries, p.528) and his later speculation that the ‘manuscript must come from Canterbury or Rochester’ (Corpus Christi Catalogue, vol.2, pp.4-5) were rejected by Ker (MLGB, pp.39, 164).
