Manuscript 127 is a composite manuscript of two units, each with a different time and place of copying. The first unit consists of three texts written by Bernard of Clairvaux (d. 1153): (ff. 1r-22r) De precepto et dispensatione; (ff. 22r-36r) Bernardus ad milites templi sive De laude novae militiae; and (ff. 36r-49v) Apologia ad Guillelmum abbatem. This unit was copied in the twelfth century, probably in the scriptorium of either Ten Duinen or Ter Doest. The second unit is somewhat younger, having been copied in the thirteenth century. It contains two Bible commentaries by Stephen Langton (d. 1228), archbishop of Canterbury and one of the driving forces behind the Magna Carta: (ff. 50r-70v) Stephen Langton super Hesdram; (ff. 70v-80r) Stephen Langton super Hester; and (ff. 80r-80v) Prologus in libro Iezechiel. The final text is being interrupted at the end of the column. The reverse of that leaf bears an ownership inscription of Ter Doest and an acrostichon on the character of the ideal monk. The first letters read from top to bottom monachvs. The layout of the two units is different: the first is written in a single column per page; the second has single columns on the first four leaves before suddenly changing to two columns. Initials are in red, just as the rubrics and the incipits and explicits. [Summary by Dr. Mark Vermeer]
Herkomst: Volgens Lieftinck 1953 is zijn ff. 1-49 mogelijk afkomstig uit het scriptorium van Ter Doest of Ten Duinen.
Folio 80v bevat een achrosticon: 'Gregorius papa. Ethymologizatio huius uerbi monachi: Miles fortis in demonis impugnatione, Obediens sine aliqua dissimulatione, Nil habens proprium in absconcione, Amans Deum pura dilectione, Custodiens se a peccati contagione, Humilis absque aliqua fixione, Verax in omni sua locutione, Simplex ut columba in omni actione.'
