Ms. codex.
Collective title from opening rubrics (1v and 4v).
Bibliographic record created by BPL staff based on description by Dr. Lisa Fagin Davis.
Origin: Written at the Benedictine abbey of St. Martin in Tournai in the early twelfth century. This appears to be nr. 124 in the twelfth-century St. Martin catalogue; see Delisle I:491, where it is described as "Claudianus de anima in uno volume." 13th-century St. Martin ex libris on fol. 39v: "Liber sancti martini tornacensis servanti benedictio amen." In 1609, the manuscript was studied in Tournai and collated by Jesuit scholar Andreas Schottus; in his autograph inscription on fol. 39v, he notes that he has compared this manuscript to two previous editions (Basel 1520 and Paris 1575) and found it to be superior to both: "Optimus hic codex est, collatus ad editiones Basiliensem et Parisiensem duplicem, in Bibliotheca SS Patrum, in qua multa et omissa, et corrupta sunt. Hic igitur codex iure optimo cum benedictione servandus; quem contulit accurate editis. And[reas] Schottus Soc. Jesu. An. M.DC.IX Tornaci Nerviorum." Schottus used this manuscript in preparing his own edition of 1618 (Magna Bibliotheca Vetorum Patrum, V:944, repr. Lyon, 1677, VI:1050). Schottus’ collation of this very manuscript is mentioned in several later editions: J. A. Fabricius, Bibliotheca latina mediæ et infimæ (1734) I:1075 and Augustus Engelbrecht, Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum (Vienna, 1885) XI:vi.
Faustus, of Riez, active 5th century. De anima.
