a likely story.
Bonnie Blackburn was kind enough to inform me that, to her knowledge,
Narducci's catalogue is not on-line anywhere.
as i wrote on 11 June:
François Avril
"Notes sur quelques manuscrits bénédictines normands du XIe au XIIe siecle,"
Mélanges de l'Ecole française de Rome. LXXVI, 1964, pp. 490-525; LXXVII,
1965, pp. 209-248.
[which i have OCRed and can send to anyone who wants a copy]
talks about this ms. at length (’65, pp. 237-246), making a good case that
(at least 1085) was written at St. Peter of Chartres but was then sent to St.
Evroul to be illuminated[!!]. (i've never heard of such a thing.)
the beautiful illuminated "B" which Begins Augustine's Ennarationes [which,
btw, i can't find on the web anywhere] is in a style which i've always been
unable to reconcile with what little i know about Chartrain style(s) in the
later 11th c., and Avril's explanation looks good, to me.
the first description of the mss is by Narducci (1893, pp. 453-4), and i was
just trying to establish my own bonafides as a genuinely tedious Cite-It-All
by wanting to read his original thoughts on it.
> The book has a new paper cover with the Chinese identifiers (illegible
to me) added to the typical blue Cambridge press jacket like the other
paperbacks of Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought.
what a curious thing for Cambridge to do...
seems to me.
