Summary
As the title indicates, this manuscript contains a collection of brevia (short sayings or excerpts) from several books of the Bible, written by the Franciscan theologian Petrus Aureoli (c. 1280-1322). Included here are those taken from the Pentateuch, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, Kings (only a fragment), Esdras, Tobit, Judith, Esther, and Machabees. According to the fenestra title, the volume should also have contained Chronicles, the Gospels, and the Acts of the Apostles; these are lacking. The manuscript is dated to the fourteenth century. Possibly this text was written in the scriptorium of either Ten Duinen or Ter Doest. The text is written in two columns, with initials in red and blue. Equally interesting are the additional leaves found after the brevia. Folium 51 is a single leaf, containing the beginning of John Damascenus' De fide orthodoxa, (running up to chapter 5, paragraph 4). This fragment has the same layout as the main text, but lacks the decoration. The two fly leaves at the end of the volume contain excerpts from several theologians, regarding - in as far as they have been identified - the nature of free will and of good, taken from a.o. Augustine of Hippo (De libero arbitrio and In Iohannis tractatus XXIII), Hugo of Saint-Victor (De sacramentis christianae fidei, pars IV), and Anselm of Canterbury. Finally, the last leaf has been used in the fourteenth century to record several expenses related to the death of a cleric named Thingus, cellarer at the cathedral of Noyon. These include the payment for royal tithes, the creation of a (tomb?)stone and repairs after the first stone shattered, and payments made in the house of the archbishop of Rouen.
