• Résumé : CCCC MS 62 comprises three volumes, the first dated to the late twelfth century, or the beginning of the thirteenth, the latter two dated to the twelfth century. All three volumes have a provenance at the cathedral priory of St Andrew at Rochester, Kent, and appear in a list of manuscripts copied or acquired by the precentor, Alexander, in or soon after 1202. The first volume contains a glossed copy of the Books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and the Song of Songs. The second volume consists of a selection of writings by William of Saint-Thierry, Bernard of Clairvaux, Serlo of Wilton and John of Cornwall. The final volume contains Bede's Commentary on the Catholic Epistles and a letter by Walter Phillips, dean of Rochester (1560).
