  • Résumé : The De sacramento altaris by Baldwin of Ford OCist, archbishop of Canterbury (d. 1190), contained in CCCC MS 200, was written in the period 1170-80. This copy was produced after he became archbishop in 1184 because an historiated initial at the beginning of the text shows him writing and wearing a mitre. The text discusses the biblical sources of the eucharist, foreshadowed in the paschal lamb and manna of the Old Testament, and defined in the New Testament writings of Saints Matthew, John and Paul. The book belonged to Christ Church cathedral priory, Canterbury.

  • Additions: On the slip (f. cv) is: Incipit liber domini Baldeuuini Archiep. C(ant) De inestimabili sacramento ueritatis ueteris (et no) ui testamenti. On the flyleaf (f. ir) in a large hand: Baldewynus de inestimabili sacramento. On the verso (f. iv) Parkerian notes on Baldwin. De hoc codice sic scripsit Parkerus: Hic liber proprius codex Baldwini scriptus manu sua dum erat archiepiscopus Cantuariensis, tam accurate ut vix reperies aliquam mendam (quantum ad scriptionem attinet) per totum librum. Quamvis fortasse ad ornatiorem scripturam aliquorum versuum suppletio fit per literam puncto supposito, ut per librum aliquoties videre licet. Ecce diligentiam! Nescio qua autoritate fretus haec dixit vir reverendissimus, cum enim de novo paucis abhinc annis compingebantur codices nostri, operculis bibliopegi incuria abjectis multa hujusmodi indicia perierunt. Sed forsan huic opinioni ansam praebuerunt sequentia verba minio in codice subnotata: Verum cum autoritas tua me premeret ut de inestimabili sacrificio veritatis aliqua scribenda dictitarem et dictata scriberem Minime tamen exhinc sequitur codicem propria manu Baldwini fuisse scriptum; ex codice enim autographo in omnia sequentia exemplaria necessario transcribebantur haec verba; preterea ex epistola nuncupatoria satis liquet Baldwinum adhuc monachum fuisse Fordensem quando haec scripsit, codex tamen noster effigiem ejus habet vesti pontificali et pallio indutam. Sed etsi pro autographo non habendus sit, haud tamen longe post autoris aevum scriptum puto.
