Fragment of a Carolingian compilation on the Psalms

Description
This leaf is one of two Stanford-owned leaves originating from the same dispersed book. The texts on the two leaves appear to have been compiled as prefatory matter, either before a commentary or preceding a Psalter. They include a hitherto unrecorded commentary on the Psalms, apparently of Carolingian authorship, and an early appearance of a prologue attributed to Bede, or pesudo-Bede. This leaf contains part of a commentary on the psalms, which begins as text 4 on the first in this folder. The text begins "delectatio terrore iuxta conpugeretur" and ends "Quid utique inpossible est ut quis." This commentary is included in Bede's Dubia et Spuria, Patrologia Latina 93, cols. 477-80. It was See also M0389. Box 1, Folder 02, Item 1.

Description: The fragment was once used in a binding, possibly from a book owned by an Oxford College (see F. Madden's account of the source of Bliss's collection, Oxford Bibliographical Society III (1933)p. 188). The earliest known owner is Dr. Bliss of St. John's College, Oxford. This fragment was probably sold August 31, 1858 to Thompson and aquired from him by Thomas Phillips, where it is probably identified with MS No.18133. It was sold at the Phillips sale April 24, 1911, probably as Lot 390 as one of 327 fragments bought by E.H. Dring. It is not among those fragments possessing Oxford shelfmarks identified by Neil Ker. Oxford antiquary Philip Bliss (1787-1857) was one of the first collectors to recognize the historical and cultural importance of medieval manuscript fragments. These books survived intact in England until ca. 1520-70 at which time, particularly in Oxford and Cambridge, they were taken to pieces for use by binders as pastedowns, wrappers, fly leaves, and reinforcing strips.
Description: Fragments in this collection were purchased by Stanford in 1984 and 1985.
