• Résumé : The two parts of CCCC MS 318 may once have been separate manuscripts, but they were certainly together at Rochester in the twelfth century, when a contents list and an anathema were added to the volume. The first part is a twelfth-century collection of hagiography containing vitae of Edward the Confessor, Anselm of Canterbury, Herluin of Bec, and the Venerable Bede. The second part is also a twelfth-century collection of hagiography, but with some romance material as well: it contains texts on James the apostle, Charlemagne and Roland, Bishop Turpin, Thecla, and Apollonius of Tyre. An inscription says that the manuscript was given to Parker by a deacon of Rochester.
