Partial Ownership Inscription, In A Volume Of Various Works Of Cicero, With Added Ghost Stories
View through Europeana Collections
Classical texts, such as the writings of the
Roman orator and statesman Cicero (106-43 BC), were relatively rare
in 12th-century monastic libraries, but were eagerly collected as
models of elegant Latin. This manuscript of a collection of
Cicero's works has the remains of an ownership inscription of a
church dedicated to St. Mary in a place beginning with 'B'. It also
has a series of ghost stories added into blank spaces, which relate
to Byland and the surrounding area: the book must therefore have
belonged to the Cistercian abbey of St. Mary's, Byland. The brown
inscription in the top margin of this page reads 'Liber sce. Marie
de B[...]' (St. Mary of B[...]'s book).
