Decorated Initial And Ownership Inscription, In St. Gregory of Nazianzus' 'Eight Orations'
View through Europeana Collections
St. Gregory of Nazianzus (c.325-389) wrote three
types of work: poetical (including epigrams, epitaphs, and
epistles), prose epistles, and orations. Gregory is widely
acknowledged to be one of the finest of all Christian orators. His
orations were collected in various combinations, and were fairly
commonly found in monastic libraries. This manuscript has ownership
inscriptions of the Cistercian Abbey of Byland, in Yorkshire. The
first page of the prologue has an elegant initial 'P', and in the
top margin is the inscription 'Liber sancte Marie de Bellalanda':
the book of St. Mary's, Byland.
