Corpus Christi College Cambridge / PARKER-ON-THE-WEB M.R. James, Descriptive Catalogue of the Manuscripts in the Library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge 1912 MS 183 Stanley: Under D. 5 TJames: 369 the Venerable, Two Lives of St with Regnal Lists, etc.

Bedae Vita Cuthberti. Genealogiae etc.

Codicology: Vellum, mm 295 x 195, (11.5 x 7.9 in.), ff. 96, mostly with 26 lines to a page. Cent. ix (Bradshaw[Bradshaw 1889a]), in a very beautiful Anglo-Celtic hand: two scribes are distinguishable. Collation: A8-I8 (wants 6) K8 L8 (4, 5 are singles) M8 (+ 1). 2 fo.: “Incipit prefatio” or “Scripta erant”. Provenance: f. 1r is blank but for the letter W at top (xvi), possibly indicating that Nicholas Wotton[] was the donor. It can hardly be doubted that the book is from Durham Priory[], but I cannot identify it with anything in the Catalogi Veteres [Botfield 1838]. See further below. Provenance: Plummer (Bede, I cxlvii, note)[Plummer 1896a] refers to Symeon of Durham[] (I 211[Hodgson Hinde 1868] ) as saying that in 931 Æthelstan[] gave a copy of Bede[]'s lives of Cuthbert to the see, which was then at Chester-le-Street[], and adds : “This copy is now in the Library of C. C. C. Cambridge, no. 183.” The words in the charter quoted by Symeon are “unam sancti Cuthberti uitam metrice et prosaice scriptam.” If this interesting identification is correct (as I believe it to be), we must suppose that the picture at the beginning of the book represents Æthelstan offering the volume to St Cuthbert[]. Foliation: ff. i-ii + 1-97 + iii-iv. Language: Latin and Old English.

Contents: 1.1. 1v-58r Bede the Venerable[], Vita Sancti Cuthberti[] Liber Bedae[] presbiteri de vita et miraculis S. Cuthberti[] On f. 1v is a fine full-page picture. The frame is of yellow, enclosing panels of conventional foliage with birds and a lion, in white on deep-red ground, exceedingly sharp and good. The ground of the picture is plain. On L. a king in short dark (purple) mantle over lighter tunic, red hose, crown, yellow hair and beard, stands under an arch with tiled dome: he bends over to R. and holds an open book. On R. a church with tiled roof, clerestory and aisles (tiled): rectangular window in W. gable: ornament at the summit of each gable. In front of it (at W. end) stands a nimbed beardless saint, tonsured, in chasuble (red) over alb, holding up his R. hand, a book in L. On the identification of the figures see below. 2r Rubric:Incipit prefatio bede[] presbiteri de uita sancti cuðberhti[] lindisfarnensis episcopi ad eadfridum[] episcopum (P. L.

1.2. 59r-60r List of Popes Pontificum sedis apostolicae After Item 1 follow lists of the Popes, of the 70 disciples, and of English Bishops and Kings. I give the text of these in full (excepting that of the Popes) and also a collation with the earliest MS. of the lists, Vespasian B. 6 (V)[LBLVB6]. This, though often differing in spelling, agrees with 183 in some of its most curious errors. Note: James' lists appear here. For his comparison with the Vespasian manuscript see the following figures: 59r Rubric:Nomina pontificum sedis (apostolice erased) Column 1 i. Petrus[] ii. Linus[] to xxv. Xistus[] Column 2 xxvi.

(Jaffe, Monumenta Moguntina, p. 291[Jaffé 1866].) See Mr E. O. Winstedt's Cosmas Indicopleustes, Cambridge, 1909, p. ix[Winstedt 1909]
