  • Résumé : CCCC MS 145 is one of the most important manuscripts of the South English Legendary, a collection of over eighty saints' lives in Middle English compiled in the late thirteenth century. This copy is of the early fourteenth century and has been used for the edition of the text. It belonged to the priory of Augustinian canons at Southwick (Hampshire).

  • Res sane notatu digna quod lingua Anglicana in tantillo tempore, viz. infra quadringentos annos possit tantam variationem verborum et phraseωn pati ut hic videre licet. The above is a Parkerian note. Hic liber est ecclesiae beatae Mariae de Suthewyk de dono fratris Iohannis Kateryngton canonici ibidem, quem qui ab eadem ecclesia sive per venditionem vel donationem vel furtum sive per fraudem aliquem alienaverit, vel titulum hunc dolo deleverit, nisi eidem ecclesiae condigne satisfecerit, sit anathema maranatha: fiat, fiat, Amen. The above inscription given by Nasmith (corrected by me) is on the lower margins of f. 1v, 2r. It is of cent. xiv-xv.
  • From Southwick Priory (not Litchewyk).
