Sententie magistri Petri Longobardi [titel fenestra]
Petrus Lombardus - ca. 1095 - ca. 1160 (VIAF: 51797933) - auteur
One of six manuscripts in the Public Library Bruges containing the Libri quattuor sententiarum or Sententiae of Petrus Lombardus (d. 1160), this copy is the second oldest, dating from the first quarter of the thirteenth century. It was possibly copied at the Ten Duinen abbey. The Sententiae are the most important scholastic work in high medieval theology, and were used as standard reading material at universities ever since. It laid the foundation of scholastic theology and methodology of asking, confirming and refuting questions with arguments from authorities. In this copy the text is incomplete, as in several places folia are missing. The text ends on fol. 124v: the following leaf contains excerpts from several authorities on the subject of fornication and penitence. The final leaf, fol. 126, was used by a different (but roughly contemporary) scribe to draw up an index on the Sententiae. The text is presented in two columns per page. Occasionally part of a column is further divided into two sub columns. Initials have been added alternately in red and either blue or green ink, usually with decoration in the other colour. The text is provided with several layers of structure and intertextual references. The margins have been used to denote the beginning of distinctions, arguments and responses, and to add citations from authoritative sources (the latter in red ink). The manuscript is bound in a late medieval leather binding over wooden boards. The covers are blindstamped and the corner edges have been reinforced with metal plates. Traces of two clamps are present. Despite the manuscript probably having been written in Ten Duinen, there is no direct contemporary evidence. Only the seventeenth-century cross-shaped stamp is found on the first and last leaves. [Summary by Dr. Mark Vermeer]
