• Résumé : CCCC MS 321 is a fourteenth-century manuscript of Petrus Iohannis Olivi OFM (1247/8-96), Commentary on Matthew and Quaestiones. The texts of these have not been printed, save for extracts. The manuscript has been associated with the Benedictine abbey of Ramsey, but on evidence which Ker thought insufficient. It also contains an important eleventh-century fragment of an Old English dialogue about the word Alleluia, otherwise attested only in BL Harley 3271, and probably based on material from the pseudo-Bedan Collectanea. It is not clear whether Parker placed this fragment in the book, or whether it was already there when he acquired it.

  139ar-139av - Dialogue in Old English (fragment)

  Note : (139ar) After f. 139v is inserted part of a leaf of a beautifully written Anglo-Saxon manuscript of cent. xi early (?) containing the end of a Dialogue resembling those of Salomon and Saturn, Adrian and Ritheus, etc. of which several are printed in Kemble's Salomon and Saturn. I cannot however find the passage here preserved in any of them

  Note : The verso is blank

  Note : In Bede's Collectanea (ed. Coln, 1612, III 488) is the equivalent of part of the above:

  Note : Quis primus dixit Alleluia, aut in quo loco vel pro qua re dictum est? Inter Thabor et Hermon dictum est. Dauid propheta dixit alleluia hoc est laus dei. Augustinus dixit Alle seculum : lu, me fac : ia, Domine etc.

  Note : The fragment has escaped the notice of Wanley and of all subsequent students
