  • Résumé : CCCC MS 199 is a copy of Augustine of Hippo, De trinitate, made c. 1090 at Llanbadarn Fawr by Ieuan ap Sulien (d. 1137). Ieuan was from a prominent literary family; his brother, Rhigyfarch (d. 1099), wrote a Life of St David and succeeded his father, Sulien (d. 1091), as bishop of St David's. Some of Ieuan's own verses in Latin and Welsh survive in the margins of this manuscript, but unfortunately part of the Welsh verse was lost in 1953 when the manuscript was rebound. The main text of this manuscript is written in a very attractive hand, with some beautiful decorated initials. The flyleaf contains a ninth-century fragment of Smaragdus (fl. 809-17) in a Carolingian minuscule, possibly from Rheims.

    Note : (1v) In patris natique simul flatusque superniEiusdem deitatis opus hoc nomine tangoOmnipotens clemensque deus quem semper in altisSiderei cetus pariter solimeque phalangesNomine mirifico uenerantur trinus et unusAd plenum scriptoris opus mis perfice tandemCvuncti (?) quem solito Johannes famine fantur

    incipit : (1v) Domino beatissimo ... pape aurilio augustinus in domino salutem

    rubric : (1v) Incipit nunc prefatio siue prologus

    incipit : (1v) De trinitate que deus summus

    rubric : (2r) Explicit prefatio siue prologus

    rubric : (2r) Incipit primus liber Sancti Aurelii Augustini Kartaginensis Episcopi de Sancta Trinitate

    Note : On these pages are three beautiful Celtic initials in vermilion, green, black, yellow, surrounded with dots. Subsequent initials to books and chapters are of the same fine execution. At the top of many pages are lines by the original scribe: many are partially cut off. His habit is to prefix a distich to the beginning of each book

    Note : Before most of these headlines is a sign like a Φ, a monogram of JO (for Johannes). The surviving lines are as follows

    Note : (2r) Tu genitor tu nate quidem tu spiritus alme | gap | finem pertingere dona

    Note : (11r) Welsh inscription, discovered by Mr Bradshaw, communicated by him to the Rev. D. Silvan Evans, and printed (among Miscellaneous Notices) in Archaeologia Cambrensis, 1874, Series 4, Vol. V, p. 340. Mr Bradshaw (Collected Papers, p. 465) says in speaking of the MS. before us: In one case is a Welsh quatrain ... docked by the binder of part of its last line, but much resembling some lines in the Gododin, though not identical. Except the two poems in the Juvencus MS., it is the only scrap of verse written down before the xiith century as yet discovered, and so is most precious; especially as we can date it almost to a certainty, seeing it must have been written down some time between 1080 and 1090. It is in this scrap that the letter y first appears in Welsh, a letter which forms such a prominent feature in all later Welsh writing ... no one seems to have ventured upon a satisfactory version of it. The note in Arch. Cambr. says: According to Mr Bradshaw it was written ... between 1079 and 1089 at Llanbadarn Fawr in the county of Cardigan. The lines slope upward and are cut off at the end. Amdinnit trynit trylenn · Amtrybann teirbann treisguenn · Amcen creiriou (indistinguishable to me from creirum) gurth cyrrguenn · Amdifuys a ... patern ... The verses says Mr Bradshaw are marked by the point and the coloured initial, as well as by the rhyme.

  • I have little doubt that Bishop Davies sent it to Parker Stanley in his Catalogue mentions two letters of the Bishop of St David's to Parker quae extant ad finem huius libri. They are not now to be found. from St David's

Notes

  • Research: John the scribe of this book painted the initial letters in the Psalter of Ricemarch now at Trinity College, Dublin (no. 50 in Abbott's Catalogue), which was written by Ithael, at some time between 1064 and 1082. He died in 1136. Ricemarch his brother was Bishop of St David's 1088-1096 succeeding his father Sulgen: there is a lament by Ricemarch in the Cotton MS Faustina C. 1.
  • Additions: The flyleaf at the beginning (f. ir-iv) is part of a leaf of a ixth(?) cent. MS. in double columns in Carolingian minuscule, containing Homilies (Easter and Pentecost): col. 2 is incomplete. On the verso is the beginning of a Homily on: Cum complerentur dies pentecostes ... pariter in eodem loco. B. Hoc est in caenaculo quod superius ascendisse narrantur. quicumque enim spiritu sancto adimpleri desiderant etc.
  • Additions: At the top of f. 1r a small patch has been cut out and another carefully sewn in with a lace of skin. This happens fairly often in the book. On the patch, in a hand of cent. xiii-xiv, is: domine miserere mei sana animam meam quia peccaui tibi.
