Summary

Manuscript 48 is a composite manuscript, containing two texts: (ff. 1r-88v) the second part of Gilbertus Pictaviensis in Psalterium; and (ff. 89r-127v) the Chronicon Pontificum et imperatorum of Martin of Opava (Martinus Oppaviensis). There is no apparent relation between both texts. Rather, they show the diversity of medieval literature. The text by Gilbert de la Porrée, a French theologian and bishop of Poitiers (d. 1154), was written in Ten Duinen abbey c. 1145-1155 and forms the second part of his commentary on the Psalms, with ms. 47 containing the first part. Several of the initials have been decorated. The second text, famed for its innovative layout rather than for its contents, presents parallel histories of the papacy and the German Empire. Though not all contemporaries were charmed by this layout, the text here does contain the parallel: the two columns on each verso page deal with the popes (pontifices), while the two on each recto page deal with the emperors (imperatores). This text, written in the fourteenth century, has alternating red and blue initials. It is bound in a seventeenth-century binding of the 'Campmans' type. [Summary by Dr. Mark Vermeer]
