Codicology:Vellum, 265 x 165 mm(Content authored by Corpus Christi College), (10.6 x 6.6 in.), ff. 217 + 54 + 2, two main volumes. Cent. xi, in a good many fine hands. The lower edges of the first 40 leaves have suffered slightly from damp.
Collation: 110 (10 canc.) 28-148 156 | 168 178 | 188-268 2710 || A8-F8 G6, a2.
Quire 23 is of smaller sized vellum.
The old pagination is incorrect but will be used here.
Provenance:The book is evidently from Worcester. (See Strype's Parker II 509.)
Additions:In protocollo habetur forma voti castitatis a monachis faciendi in haec verba: “Ego frater N promitto Deo omnibusque sanctis ejus castitatem corporis mei secundum -- decreta et secundum ordinem mihi imponendum servare, domino presule Wlstano presente.” (Content authored by Nasmith)
On f. 1 the formula given by Nasmith, in an upright round hand: Ego frater N. promitto deo omnibusque sanctis eius castitatem / corporis mei secundum (patrum?) decreta et secundum / ordinem mihi (blank: above the line, imponendum) seruare. domno / presule uulstano presente.
Additions:On 2 there has been writing now washed out. There is an old table of contents in a pointed hand of cent. xiii:
De spirituali doctrina
Penitenciale egberti archiepiscopi eboracensis
Ordo confitendi anglice secundum Jeronimum
Quedam constitutiones
Epistola Alfrici de consuetudine monachorum
De diuinis uestimentis et officio misse
De processione et statione romanorum
Item triplex expositio super missam
Cronica Yuonis.
Below is the xvith cent. note given by Nasmith:
Et manu neoterica liber sic inscribitur, “Liber penitentialis Egberti, qui erat episcopus Ebor. septimus a Paulino, qui post eum primus pallium accepit ab apostolica sede, anno septimo regis Ceolwlphi A. D. 730.”
Omnia tamen quae in prima parte hujus codicis occurrunt minime sunt Egberto tribuenda: non igitur ab re erit singula breviter enumerare, tametsi ut haud raro evenit in codicibus antiquioribus, difficile sit pro defectu titulorum suum cuique tribuere, diversosve tractatus ad amussim separare.(Content authored by Nasmith)
Research:An admirable study of the contents has been given by Miss Bateson in the English Historical Review, 1895, p. 712, and is summarized below. It is MS. C in Liebermann's Gesetze, X in Napier's Wulfstan. It is also dealt with in Lord Selborne's Ancient Facts and Fictions concerning Tithes, ed. 2, p. 230, 232 etc.
Foliation: pp. a-d + 1-116 + 116a + 116b + 117-330 (lacks 331-340 inclusive) + 341-554 + e-h(Content authored by Corpus Christi College)
