• Manuscript 119 is a collection of works written by - and in one case erroneously attributed to - Saint Augustine (354-430). The main text (ff. 1r-141r) is the Confessionum libri tredecim; preceded by a chapter of Augustine's Retractiones. This is followed by a group of mostly sermons and Bible commentaries: (ff. 141v-143v) De octo quaestionibus ex Ueteri Testamento; (ff. 143v-148r) Sermo de muliere peccatrice; (ff. 148r-149r) Sermo in die anniversaria ordinationis episcopalis; (ff. 149r-151r) Sermo in die ordinationis suae; (ff. 153v-156r) Sermo in natali Ioannis Baptistae; (ff. 156r-157r and 158r-v) the Epistulae duae ad Augustinum by Quodvultdei; (ff. 157r-158r and 158v-159v) Augustine's Epistule ad Quodvultdeum; (ff. 159v-178v) De haeresibus; (ff. 178v-179r) Contra Felicem; (ff. 179r-179v) Epistula ad presbyterum manicheum; (ff. 179v-181r) Commonitorium quomodo sit agendum cum Manichaeis qui convertuntur; (ff. 181r-183v) Quod iste Manes non sit auctor huius heresis sed potius quidam Stucianus; and (ff. 183v-184r) Fides catholica. Furthermore, the manuscript contains (ff. 151r-153v) a sermon currently ascribed to Caesarius of Arles (d. 542); (ff. 156r) five lines of a Sententia sancti Bernardi abbatis Clareuallis; and (ff. 184r-185r) the Anno mclxiii decreta Thuronensis concilii: decrees passed during the 1163 Council of Tours, at which the Albigensian movement was denounced as an heretical sect. The manuscript has been copied as a single unit in the first decade of the thirteenth century, possibly in the scriptorium of Saint Donatian in Bruges. The text is organized in two columns. Red ink is used for rubrics and details in the majuscules. The large decorated initials at the beginning of each text (and in the Confessiones of each book) have been executed in red and green on a blue background. Smaller initials in other texts are executed in either red or blue, with decoration in the other colour. Folia 1r and 161r-v contains indices, with Roman chapter numbers in red ink, just as part of the titles. On the last leaf is an ownership inscription of Ter Doest. [Summary by Dr. Mark Vermeer]
