• Résumé : CCCC MS 466 is a twelfth-century collection of medical tracts assembled at St Augustine's, Canterbury. Like many such medieval collections, what constitutes a 'medical' treatise is somewhat elastic, this volume including as it does the verse discussion on the properties of stones by Marbod, bishop of Rennes (1035-1123), the Liber lapidum, a copy of the Somniale Danielis, a guide to the interpretation of dreams, as well as more conventional material such as the treatise on the humours by Vindicianus (fl. late 4th century), Epistula ad Pentadium. Something of the codicological history of this manuscript can be inferred, as the flyleaves consist of a papal document from the time of Urban VI (1378-89) and a note that the volume was 'reparacione fratris laurentii lenham'. Lenham has been identified as a mid-fifteenth-century figure, suggesting that this volume was rebound twice in the medieval period.
