  • Résumé : This is a late twelfth-century copy of Hugh of Saint-Victor OSA (c. 1096-1141), De sacramentis christianae fidei written c. 1134; this was one of the earliest complete theological works of the Paris schools and one of Hugh's most important and influential works. CCCC MS 310 is one of many surviving manuscript copies. The text is written in a fine, small hand and there are a number of initials, including some fine figure and ornamental initials on gold grounds. Unfortunately some of the margins of the manuscript are damaged, as it has been gnawed by mice or rats.

  • Additions: On f. ir at top is the date 1569. Below this is the set-off of an inscription in a hand of cent. xv: iber Sanct ...th. qui vocatur hugo. I do not think this can be read Sancti Cuthberti; Swyth' seems more likely.
