Incipit: Cum multi scripsisse evangelia legantur soli quattuor

(pp. 351–2) Incipit: De Thamar. Nota quod in genealogia Christi nulla nominatur mulierum

(pp. 352–3) Incipit: (gloss) Tres tesseres cedecades[sic] in generatione Christi mistice insinuant fidem trinitatis

Incipit: (p. 353) Autem genuit Attende hic intermissos reges

Incipit: Et post transigrationem Babylonis Si ponimus Ieconiam in fine precedentis tesseres

Incipit: Salathiel genuit Zorobabel Hoc in multis scripturis legitur sed in Paralipomenon

Incipit: Iuda te laudabunt fratres tui Hoc de Iuda potest accipi

MS. Auct. D. 5. 5 - endleaves (pp. vii-x)

Most of one leaf, bound in sideways to form a bifolium.

Compilatio quarta decretalium

Johannes Teutonicus Apparatus in Compilationem quartam Decretalium

Physical extent

iii (paper) + 2 + 168 + 49 + iii (paper) leaves

Binding

17th- or 18th-century binding of leather over pasteboard; sewn on three double bands.

Acquisition

Given to the Bodleian on 7 Oct. 1760 by James Fletcher, bookseller, of Oxford (-1795) (inscription, p. x).

Provenance

'14' in medieval arabic numbers at the top of fol. vii, the first endleaf: perhaps a pressmark.

It is not certain when the two parts of the volume came together. Part A shows evidence of an earlier binding with rust stains at the beginning from a clasp; but 14th-century (?) annotation on p. 64 of part A resembles annotation on the final page (446) of part B.
