Physical description
1 volume (vi, 286, iv leaves) : parchment ; 39 x 24 cm.
Note
Commentaries on the Epistles of Paul to the Galatians (ff. 1-27v), Ephesians (ff. 28v-51v), Philippians (ff. 52-70v), Colossians (ff. 71v-87v), 1-2 Thessalonians (ff. 88-105v and 106v-117), 1-2 Timothy (ff. 117-154 and 154v-171v), Titus (ff. 172-180), Philemon (ff. 180v-183) and Hebrews (ff. 183v-264), followed by a table of contents (ff. 164v-187).
Note
Each explicit ascribes the commentary to Hugh of Vienne.
Note
The first seven commentaries appear to be the same set as occur in a 13th-century manuscript in Turin, Biblioteca Nazionale MS 542 (D.V. 29), recorded by Stegmüller, Repertorium biblicum Medii Aevi, nos. 11156-65).
Note
As in the Turin manuscript, the prologues of Ephesians, Colossians, and 3 Thessalonians are not commented on.
Note
Reference letters in the margins, used in the table of contents with the chapter numbers.
Note
The flyleaves ff. v (formerly a pastedown) and vi are conjoint leaves from letter D of the Concordantiae maiores (Stiegmüller, no. 3605). written in England in the second half of the 14th century. 24 more or less complete leaves and 4 strips survive in this form as used by Williamson in 1600-1601 and other years in binding 9 manuscripts and 2 printed books. These may correspond to the 'concordaunce of ii partes' listed in the Eton inventory of 1465. In this volume, f. v contains Digitus-Diligere; f. vi contains Discedere-Discumbens. See Ker, p. 635 and Etoniana, ser. 1, no. 28 (1921), p. 443.
Note
Folios 28r, 71r and 106r are blank.
Note

Collation: 1⁸ wants 1-3 2-35⁸ 37¹⁰.
Note
Two series of quire signatures, the first on e quires 1-14, h+-v+, and the second on quires 15-33, a-v, with a horizontal stroke through each letter.
Note
Written in textura influenced by cursiva.
Note
Large initials at the beginning of each Epistle in colours on gold grounds decorated in colours (including green) in the common effective mid-15th-century English style, and a larger border and two good initials at the beginning of Galatians; smaller initials in blue with red ornament.
Note
Secundo folio: natus animus.
Note
Rebound at Eton in the early 17th century.
Note
Written in England, perhaps by a foreign scribe.
Note
Evidently the second of two volumes on the evidence of the quire signatures, those in the first volume presumably marked from a onwards and then a+-g+ and the first three leaves of h+. The first volume probably contained the commentaries on Romans and 1,2 Corinthians as found in the Turin manuscript.
Note
At Eton by 1601 on the evidence of the binding.
