Beinecke MS 484.1 	                                 France or Italy, s. XII^^in
Commentaries on the Psalms

The fragment preserves Arnobius the Younger's commentaries on Psalms 58-61 and 64-65 and
Jerome's commentary on Psalm 66.  K.-D. Daur and G. Morin record this mixture of
commentaries in four other manuscripts:  Venice, Biblioteca Marciana, 45 (I, xciv) and Florence,
Biblioteca Laurentiana, Plut. XVIII.xx, both dated by Daur and Morin to the eleventh or twelfth
century, and Vatican City, Bibliotheca Vaticana, Ottobon. lat. 478 and Vat. lat. 317, both dated
by Daur and Morin to the sixteenth century (see Daur, CCSL 25 [1990], pp. xx-xxii and Morin,
Etudes, Textes, Decouvertes Anecdota Maredsolana 2.1 [Maredsous, 1913], 257-63).  Two
contemporary corrections in the Beinecke fragment are also found in the Florence manuscript,
with which the Beinecke fragment shares several other readings.

Parchment.  2 folios (bifolium; probably one bifolium missing between fols. 1 and 2).  299 x 209
mm (written space 264 x 159 mm).  2 columns.  31 lines.  Ruled in dry-point on the flesh side
before folding.  Double horizontal and outer vertical bounding lines; single inner vertical
bounding lines.  Prickings in upper and lower margins.
     Written in Caroline minuscule.  2- and 3-line initials at the beginning of each
commentary are in red uncials and are not set apart from the text; they are frequently decorated
with balls or cross-hatching.  1-line initials are in brown uncials with occasional use of rustic
capital forms such as H and D and of enlarged minuscule n.  The first several words of each
commentary are written in brown rustic capitals.  Punctuation consists of the punctus, punctus
elevatus and punctus versus.  Hyphenation is in the same ink as the text.  Accents were added by
a later hand.  Quotations are marked by double wavy lines in the left margin opposite each line
containing a quotation.  A contemporary hand has made corrections in a lighter ink on both
folios.  On fol. 2r there are marginalia in a fifteenth-century hand.
     Modern hands have written "83" and "Saec. [erased]. Francia (Corbie?)" in pencil on the
recto.  Gift of Edmund T. Silk; purchased from Kraus in 1948.

remaining of an original 25 lines.  Dry-point ruling.  Double vertical bounding lines.
     Written in Caroline minuscule, which B. Bischoff (on the basis of his inspection of other
leaves of the same manuscript) dated to the second quarter of the ninth century.  Holter (1957),
441, no. 9, reports that Bischoff attributed the manuscript to Italy. Bischoff later expressed
reservations about this attribution: "Die Schrift...wirkt fremdartig; dass sie italienisch sein muss,
wage ich nicht mehr zu behaupten,"Schreibschulen, 2:42-3.
     The homily on fol. 1v begins with a 3-line initial "T" outlined in orange and filled and
surrounded with brown; it is set apart from the text.  1-line initials are in orange uncials and are
set apart from the text between the double vertical bounding lines.  Punctuation consists of the
punctus and the punctus versus.

MS 484.3			                 Northern Italy, s. IX^^1/3
Pseudo-Augustine, Sermons (Alan of Farfa, Homiliary?)

Both of these sermons are found in Alan of Farfa's Homiliary and in the same order as they are
found here; however, since they are both Pseudo-Augustinian sermons and because of the early
date of the fragment, it is not certain that they are truly from Alan's Homiliary and not from some
other collection of sermons.

century (letter of 5 October 1985).  The homily begins with a 7-line decorated initial "F"
outlined in brown and filled with orange, dark orange, ochre and olive green; it is set apart from
the text.  1-line initials are in brown uncials and are set apart from the text between double
vertical bounding lines.  The rubric is written in red uncials which in places has oxydized to a
silver color.  The first line of the sermon is written in brown uncials.  Punctuation consists of the
punctus and punctus versus.  A leaf has been drawn in red in the space between the columns on
the verso.

MS 484.4	                                 Italy, s. X/XI
Ars Laureshamensis, Expositio in Donatum maiorem

This fragment preserves a portion of an anonymous commentary on Donatus's Ars maior, edited
by B. Loefstedt as the Ars Laureshamensis (CCCM 40A, [Turnhout, 1978]; MS 484.4 not cited); 
Loefstedt attributes the commentary to a tenth-century Irishman (cf. L. Holtz, "Sur trois
commentaires irlandais de l'Art Majeur de Donat au IXe siecle," Revue d'Histoire des Textes 2
[1972]: 45-72). The portion preserved here, on how to distinguish between nouns and participles
and on the comparison of adjectives, is on part II of Donatus's grammar ("De octo partibus
orationis") and is preserved in two other manuscripts:  Vatican City, Bibliotheca Vaticana,
Palatinus lat. 1754 (Lorsch, s. X) and Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm 14488
(Northern Italy, s. X/XI).

bounding lines; horizontal text-rulings extend through the prickings in outer margin.
     Written in Caroline minuscule.  1-line initials are brown rustic capitals, with occasional
use of enlarged minuscule h and e, and are not set apart from the text.  Punctuation consists of
the punctus and punctus interrogativus.  Double quotation marks are within the text.
     A fifteenth-century inscription in Italian is written on fol. 1v:  "Celi mei li quali hanno
hauto paura de la nebia non sonno andati a la vingna."  A modern hand has written the number
"77" in pencil on the recto.  Gift of the Yale University Library Associates; purchased from

lines.  Dry-point ruling on the hair side before folding.  Double vertical and single horizontal
bounding lines.  Prickings in upper, lower and outer margins.
     Written in late Caroline minuscule.  At the beginning of Homily 4 (fol. 2r) there is a
3-line initial "C" sketched, but not completed, in brown ink with foliate decoration, not set apart
from the text; it may be a later addition.  1-line initials are brown uncials and are set apart from
the text between double bounding lines when they occur at the beginning of the line.  The rubrics
for Homily 4 and its lesson are written in red minuscule mixed with uncial forms, with red line-
filler.  A contemporary hand has supplied omitted text on fol. 2v.  There are no initials or rubrics
for the other homilies, but a later hand has added a 3-line initial "I" in brown to the beginning of
each lesson.  Punctuation consists of the punctus, punctus elevatus and punctus interrogativus. 
Hyphenation is in the same ink as the text.  Accents were added by a later hand.  On fol. 2v there
are three interlinear Latin glosses in a fifteenth-century hand.  Other fifteenth-century hands have
added marginal notations and figures of heads on fols. 7v-8r.
     A modern hand has written the number "94" in pencil on fol. 1r.  Gift of the Yale
University Classical Club; purchased from Kraus in 1948.

          Homily on John 2.1-11 (here 2.6-11) for the Second Sunday after Epiphany.  This
          homily is similar to Homily 18 attributed to Haimo of Halberstadt in PL 118.135-
          7 (Inc: Miracula domini et saluatoris nostri quandocunque leguntur ...) but is

     Written in Caroline minuscule.  On fol. 1v there is a very fine 3/4-page decorated initial
"I" in red and yellow on a purple, blue and orange ground, with vine-stem decoration lightly
washed with yellow.  The design of the initial is very similar to that in F. Avril and Y. Zaluska,

(7-line) and "F" (8-line), outlined in orange and colored with green and yellow, set apart from
the text.  1- and 2-line initials are orange uncials and are set apart from the text.  Other 1-line
initials are brown rustic capitals, highlighted with orange, and are set apart from the text when
they occur at the beginning of a line.  1-line initials within the hymn are a mixture of orange
uncials and rustic capitals and are set apart from the text when they occur at the beginning of a
line.  Rubrics are written in orange minuscule.  Punctuation consists of the punctus, punctus
elevatus and punctus interrogativus. Accents and diacritical marks over double i by later hands.
     The folio was folded in half and used as the first two flyleaves in a volume measuring ca.
239 x 173 mm.  The contents of the volume are described in the inner margin of the recto in a
sixteenth-century cursive hand as "Magister Iohannes de Sancto Amando summa super regnum

The two lives of St. Cassian in this fragment are also found together in Rome, Bibliotheca
Casanatensis, 1408, nos. 40-1, a manuscript copied in Beneventan script in Benevento in the
twelfth century (see A. Poncelet, Catalogus codicum hagiographicorum latinorum

Parchment.  1 folio.  413 x 308 mm (written space originally ca. 385 x 245 mm).  2 columns.  35
of 36 lines remaining.
     Written in Beneventan script.  The Prudentius life is written in poetic stanzas.  Six-line
decorated initial is outlined in brown, not set apart from the text.  1-line initials are brown
uncials; in the Prudentius text, they are set apart from the text, but in the prose life they are only
set apart when they occur at the beginning of a line.  Punctuation consists of the punctus, punctus
elevatus and the punctus versus.
     According to V. Brown, another leaf from this manuscript is preserved in Sweet Briar
(Virginia) College Library, MS 2 (letter of 17 October 1994).  The Sweet Briar leaf contains
Pseudo-Ildefonsus, Homily 7 (PL 96.269; Inc: [Celebritas hodierni diei nos admonet ...ma]//ria
mulier esse non potuit ... amen.) and Pseudo-Augustine, Homily 194 (PL 39.2104-6; Inc: Adest
nobis diem dilectissimi optatus dies ... fingunt sabelli peperit paruulum//).  These two texts are in
Alan of Farfa's Homiliary (Homilies II.64-5) for the feast of the Virgin Mary (15 August).  They
occur with the prose Passio S. Cassiani in Rimini, Biblioteca Gambalunghiana, 4.A.I.i, a
manuscript written in Italian Caroline script of the end of the eleventh or beginning of the twelfth
century (see A. Gattucci, "Codici agiografici riminesi: il Passionario della Biblioteca
Gambalunghiana," Studi Medievali 10 [1969]: 269-331 and BHL 5355cb and 5355cc). 
According to De Ricci, the Sweet Briar leaf was obtained in 1931 from Rappoport in Rome (See
De Ricci, 2:1855, no. 2; see also Faye and Bond, 525). 
     The Beinecke fragment was used as the wrapper of a volume measuring ca. 308 x 207
mm.  There are various pen trials, including two in Greek, both of which read [Greek],
a quotation from Psalm 148.6.
     Modern hands have written in pencil "Sec. XI 1a meta probabilmente Monte Casino" on
the recto and the number "24" on the verso.  Gift of the Yale University Library Associates;
purchased from Kraus in 1948. The leaf was earlier sold by E. von Scherling (Leiden), cf.

          Genesis 1.1-1.4.


Parchment.  2 folios (1 bifolium; probably one bifolium missing between fols. 1 and 2).  422 x
340 mm (written space 320 x 222 mm).  2 columns.  Fol. 1 has 33 lines; fol. 2 has 65 lines.  Dry-
point ruling.  Double outer and single inner vertical bounding lines; additional ruling between
columns.  Single horizontal bounding lines.  Prickings in all margins.
     Written in two sizes of gothic bookhand (littera textualis).  The preface on fol. 2r begins
with a 10-line decorated initial "D" in red interlace on a green geometric ground with a blue
ground for the central portion of the vine stem.  The text of Genesis begins with a half-page
decorated initial "I" in the same style.  1-line initials in the prefatory materials are occasionally
red and set apart from the text or are black and set apart when they occur at the beginning of a
line.  The first letter of each chapter heading is a red round "D" and is set apart from the text
with roman numerals in red.  The first three lines of biblical text alternate between red capitals
filled with green and decorated with blue penwork and blue capitals decorated with red penwork;
there is also one green capital decorated with red penwork.  Rubrics are written in red in the
same script as the text.  Line fillers are in red.  Punctuation consists of the punctus, punctus
elevatus and the punctus interrogativus.  Hyphenation is in the same ink as the text.  Accents
were added by a later hand.  A fourteenth-century cursive hand has written "lectio prima" next to
the beginning of Genesis 1.1.
     The fragment was used as the outside wrapper for the binding of a volume measuring ca.
350 x 240 mm.  Traces of an inscription on the spine read "Sup[...]."  Modern hands have written
"25" and "Saec. XII Germania meridiana [?] Suizzera" in pencil on fol. 2r.  Gift of the Yale
University Library Associates; purchased from Kraus in 1948.
