330. Comm, in Valerium ad Ruffinum.
Vellum, 11 X7|, ff. 24-115, 32 lines to a page. Cent, xv early,
in a very fine upright square English hand, with good ornaments.
Modern morocco binding.
Title by Sancroft.
Collation: a2 i8-I48 154 (wants 4).
Part of the initial on f. 1 is the badge of the. Bohuns : a swan
gorged with a crown or, a chain dependent: it is framed with two
ribbons, each being blue on one side and red on the other. In the
lower R angle of the border is the letter R in blue on red ground.
On the flyleaves is : Thomas bemundus hunc perlegit libellum’
and : Thomas bemond (xvi) besides various notes on the wickedness
of women, all of cent. xvi.
Valerii Epistola ad Ruffinum de coniuge non ducenda, with a
prolix commentary.
The Epistle, as is well known, forms part of the fourth Distinc-
tion of the book of Walter Map, de Nugis Curialium. In
my edition of the text (Anecd. Oxon. Medieval and Modern
Series, XIV. 1914), I have given some account of this and
other Commentaries (p. xxxiii). The author of this Com-
mentary attributed the Epistle to Valerius Maximus.
There is no title. The Prologue begins :
Amicus fidelis protectio fortis Ecc. 6. Dixit Jerdnimus super
illud Math. 12. Qmne regnum in se diuisum, quomodo Con-
cordia res parue crescunt, ita discordia maxime dilabuntur.
It contains 4 distinctions, ending 1 r b : ad dei honorem et ipso
adiuuante ad nostri salutem.
The Epistle is divided into 36 sections and is written in red.
Each section is headed by a handsome initial and partial
border.
Loqui prohibeor et facere non possum—noluptatis. Exposicio . f. 12
Sunt multi qui audita ueritate offenduntur
