without number, for the Lord had given him very much substance. 30 This same Ezechias was, he that stopped the upper source of the waters of Gihon, and turned them away underneath toward the west of the city of David: in all his works he did prosperously what he would. 31 But yet in the embassy of the princes of Babylon, that were sent to him, to inquire of the wonder that had happened upon the earth, God left him that he might be tempted, and all things might be made known that were in his heart. 32 Now the rest of the acts of Ezechias, and of his mercies are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. 33 And Ezechias slept with his fathers, and they buried him above the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem celebrated his funeral: and Manasses his son reigned in his stead. 1 Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. 2 And he did evil before the Lord, according to all the abominations of the nations, which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel: 3 And he turned, and built again the high places which Ezechias his father had destroyed: and he built altars to Baalim, and made groves, and he adored all the host of heaven, and worshipped them. 4 He built also altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said: In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever. 5 And he built them for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord. 6 And he made his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of Benennom: he observed dreams, followed divinations, gave himself up to magic arts, had with him magicians, and enchanters: and he wrought many evils before the Lord, to provoke him to anger. 7 He set also a graven, and a molten statue in the house of God, of which God had said to David, and to Solomon his son: In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever. 8 And I will not make the foot of Israel to be removed out of the land which I have delivered to their fathers: yet so if they will take heed to do what I have commanded them, and all the law, and the ceremonies, and judgments by the hand of Moses. 9 So Manasses seduced Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to do evil beyond all the nations, which the Lord had destroyed before the face of the children of Israel. 10 And the Lord spoke to him, and to his people, and they would not hearken. 11 Therefore he brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and they took Manasses, and carried him bound with chains and fetters to Babylon. 12 And after that he was in distress he prayed to the Lord his God: and did penance exceedingly before the God of his fathers. 13 And he entreated him, and besought him earnestly: and he heard his prayer, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom, and Manasses knew that the Lord was God. 14 After this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon in the valley, from the entering in of the fish gate round about to Ophel, and raised it up to a great height: and he appointed captains of the army in all the fenced cities of Juda: 15 And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the Lord: the altars also which he had made in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and he cast them all out of the city. 16 And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed upon it victims, and peace offerings, and praise: and he commanded Juda to serve the Lord the God of Israel. 17 Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places to the Lord their God. 18 But the rest of the acts of Manasses, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the Lord the God of Israel, are contained in the words of the kings of Israel. 19 His prayer also, and his being heard, and all his sins, and contempt, and places wherein he built high places, and set up groves, and statues before he did penance, are written in the words of Hozai. 20 And Manasses slept with his fathers. and they buried him in his house: and his son Amon reigned in his stead. 21 Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. 22 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father had done: and he sacrificed to all the idols which Manasses his father had made, and served them. 23 And he did not humble himself before the Lord, as Manasses his father had humbled himself, but committed far greater sins. 24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house. 25 But the rest of the multitude of the people slew them that had killed Amon, and made Josias his son king in his stead. 1 Josias was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one and thirty years in Jerusalem. 2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father: he declined not, neither to the right hand, nor to the left. 3 And in the eighth year of his reign, when he was yet a boy, he began to seek the God of his father David: and in the twelfth year after he began to reign, he cleansed Juda and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the idols, and the graven things. 4 And they broke down before him the altars of Baalim, and demolished the idols that had been set upon them: and be cut down the groves and the graven things, and broke them in pieces: and strewed the fragments upon the graves of them that had sacrificed to them. 5 And he burnt the bones of the priests on the altars of the idols, and he cleansed Juda and Jerusalem. 6 And in the cities of Manasses, and of Ephraim, and of Simeon, even to Nephtali he demolished all. 7 And when he had destroyed the altars, and the groves, and had broken the idols in pieces, and had demolished all profane temples throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem. 8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had cleansed the land, and the temple of the Lord, he sent Saphan the son of Eselias, and Maasias the governor of the city, Joha the son of Joachaz the recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God. 9 And they came to Helcias the high priest: and received of him the money which had been brought into the house of the Lord, and which the Levites and porters had gathered together from Manasses, and Ephraim, and all the remnant of Israel, and from all Juda, and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, 10 Which they delivered into the hands of them that were over the workmen in the house of the Lord, to repair the temple, and mend all that was weak. 11 But they gave it to the artificers, and to the masons, to buy stones out of the quarries, and timber for the couplings of the building, and to rafter the houses, which the kings of Juda had destroyed. 12 And they did all faithfully. Now the overseers of the workmen were Jahath and Abdias of the sons of Merari, Zacharias and Mosollam of the sons of Caath, who hastened the work: all Levites skilful to play on... Verso Translation: [2 Chronicles 34:12-35:20] ...on instruments. 13 But over them that carried burdens for divers uses, were scribes, and masters of the number of the Levites, and porters. 14 Now when they carried out the money that had been brought into the temple of the Lord, Helcias the priest found the book of the law of the Lord, by the hand of Moses. 15 And he said to Saphan the scribe: I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord: and he delivered it to him. 16 But he carried the book to the king, and told him, saying: Lo, all that thou hast committed to thy servants, is accomplished. 17 They have gathered together the silver that was found in the house of the Lord: and it is given to the overseers of the artificers, and of the workmen, for divers works. 18 Moreover Helcias the priest gave me this book. And he read it before the king. 19 And when he had heard the words of the law, he rent his garments: 20 And he commanded Helcias, and Ahicam the son of Saphan, and Abdon the son of Micha, and Saphan the scribe, and Asaa the king's servant, saying: 21 Go, and pray to the Lord for me, and for the remnant of Israel, and Juda, concerning all the words of this book, which is found: for the great wrath of the Lord hath fallen upon us, because our fathers have not kept the words of the Lord, to do all things that are written in this book. 22 And Helcias and they that were sent with him by the king, went to Olda the prophetess, the wife of Sellum the son of Thecuath, the son of Hasra keeper of the wardrobe: who dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second part: and they spoke to her the words above mentioned. 23 And she answered them: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Tell the man that sent you to me: 24 Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring evils upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, and all the curses that are written in this book which they read before the king of Juda. 25 Because they have forsaken me, and have sacrificed to strange gods, to provoke me to wrath with all the works of their hands, therefore my wrath shall fall upon this place, and shall not be quenched. 26 But as to the king of Juda that sent you to beseech the Lord, thus shall you say to him: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Because thou hast heard the words of this book, 27 And thy heart was softened. and thou hast humbled thyself in the sight of God for the things that are spoken against this place, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and reverencing my face, hast rent thy garments, and wept before me: I also have heard thee, saith the Lord. 28 For now I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be brought to thy tomb in peace: and thy eyes shall not see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and the inhabitants thereof. They therefore reported to the king all that she had said. 29 And he called together all the ancients of Juda and Jerusalem. 30 And went up to the house of the Lord, and all the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests and the Levites, and all the people from the least to the greatest. And the king read in their hearing, in the house of the Lord, all the words of the book. 31 And standing up in his tribunal, he made a covenant before the Lord to walk after him, and keep his commandments, and testimonies, and justifications with all his heart, and with all his soul, and to do the things that were written in that book which he had read. 32 And he adjured all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to do the same: and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of the Lord the God of their fathers. 33 And Josias took away all the abominations out of all the countries of the children of Israel: and made all that were left in Israel, to serve the Lord their God. As long as he lived they departed not from the Lord the God of their fathers. 1 And Josias kept a phase to the Lord in Jerusalem, and it was sacrificed on the fourteenth day of the first month. 2 And he set the priests in their offices, and exhorted them to minister in the house of the Lord. 3 And he spoke to the Levites, by whose instruction all Israel was sanctified to the Lord, saying: Put the ark in the sanctuary of the temple, which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built: for you shall carry it no more: but minister now to the Lord your God, and to his people Israel. 4 And prepare yourselves by your houses, and families according to your courses, as David king of Israel commanded, and Solomon his son hath written. 5 And serve ye in the sanctuary by the families and companies of Levi. 6 And being sanctified kill the phase, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the words which the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses. 7 And Josias gave to all the people that were found there in the solemnity of the phase, of lambs and of kids of the flocks, and of other small cattle thirty thousand, and of oxen three thousand, all these were of the king's substance. 8 And his princes willingly offered what they had vowed, both to the people and to the priests and the Levites. Moreover Helcias, and Zacharias, and Jahiel rulers of the house of the Lord, gave to the priests to keep the phase two thousand six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen. 9 And Chonenias, and Semeias and Nathanael, his brethren, and Hasabias, and Jehiel, and Jozabad princes of the Levites, gave to the rest of the Levites to celebrate the phase five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen. 10 And the ministry was prepared, and the priests stood in their office: the Levites also in their companies, according to the king's commandment. 11 And the phase was immolated: and the priests sprinkled the blood with their hand, and the Levites flayed the holocausts: 12 And they separated them to give them by the houses and families of every one, and to be offered to the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses, and with the oxen they did in like manner. 13 And they roasted the phase with fire, according to that which is written in the law: but the victims of peace offerings they boiled in caldrons, and kettles, and pots, and they distributed them speedily among all the people. 14 And afterwards they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: for the priests were busied in offering of holocausts and the fat until night: wherefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron last. 15 And the singers the sons of Asaph stood in their order, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Idithun the prophets of the king: and the porters kept guard at every gate, so as not to depart one moment from their service: and therefore their brethren the Levites prepared meats for them. 16 So all the service of the Lord was duly accomplished that day, both in keeping the phase, and offering holocausts upon the altar of the Lord, according to the commandment of king Josias. 17 And the children of Israel that were found there, kept the phase at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days. 18 There was no phase like to this in Israel, from the days of Samuel the prophet: neither did any of all the kings of Israel keep such a phase as Josias kept, with the priests, and the Levites, and all Juda, and Israel that were found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias was this phase celebrated. 20 After that Josias had repaired the temple, Nechao king of Egypt came up...

Ipse est Ezechías, qui obturávit superiórem fontem aquárum Gihon, et avértit eas subter ad occidéntem urbis David: in ómnibus opéribus suis fecit próspere quæ vóluit. Attámen in legatióne príncipum Babylónis, qui missi fúerant ad eum ut interrogárent de porténto quod accíderat super terram, derelíquit eum Deus ut tentarétur, et nota fíerent ómnia quæ erant in corde ejus. Réliqua autem sermónum Ezechíæ, et misericordiárum ejus, scripta sunt in visióne Isaíæ fílii Amos prophétæ, et in libro regum Juda et Israël. Dormivítque Ezechías cum pátribus suis, et sepeliérunt eum super sepúlchra filiórum David: et celebrávit ejus exéquias univérsus Juda, et omnes habitatóres Jerúsalem: regnavítque Manásses fílius ejus pro eo. XXXIII. Duódecim annórum erat Manásses cum regnáre cœpísset, et quinquagínta quinque annis regnávit in Jerúsalem. Fecit autem malum coram Dómino, juxta abominatiónes géntium quas subvértit Dóminus coram fíliis Israël: et convérsus instaurávit excélsa quæ demolítus fúerat Ezechías pater ejus: construxítque aras Baálim, et fecit lucos, et adorávit omnem milítiam cæli, et cóluit eam. Ædificávit quoque altária in domo Dómini, de qua díxerat Dóminus: In Jerúsalem erit nomen meum in ætérnum. Ædificávit autem ea cuncto exercítui cæli in duóbus átriis domus Dómini. Transiréque fecit fílios suos per ignem in valle Benénnom: observábat sómnia, sectabátur augúria, maléficis ártibus inserviébat, habébat secum magos et incantatóres, multáque mala operátus est coram Dómino ut irritáret eum. Scúlptile quoque et conflátile signum pósuit in domo Dei, de qua locútus est Deus ad David, et ad Salomónem fílium ejus, dicens: In domo hac, et in Jerúsalem quam elégi de cunctis tríbubus Israël, ponam nomen meum in sempitérnum. Et movéri non fáciam pedem Israël de terra quam trádidi pátribus eórum: ita dumtáxat si custodíerint fácere quæ præcépi eis, cunctámque legem, et cæremónias atque judícia, per manum Móysi. Ígitur Manásses sedúxit Judam, et habitatóres Jerúsalem, ut fácerent malum super omnes gentes quas subvérterat Dóminus a fácie filiórum Israël. Locutúsque est Dóminus ad eum, et ad pópulum illíus, et atténdere noluérunt. Idcírco superindúxit eis príncipes exércitus regis Assyriórum: ceperúntque Manássen, et vinctum caténis atque compédibus duxérunt in Babylónem. Qui postquam coangustátus est, orávit Dóminum Deum suum: et egit pœniténtiam valde coram Deo patrum suórum. Deprecatúsque est eum, et obsecrávit inténte: et exaudívit oratiónem ejus, reduxítque eum Jerúsalem in regnum suum, et cognóvit Manásses quod Dóminus ipse esset Deus. Post hæc ædificávit murum extra civitátem David ad occidéntem Gihon in conválle, ab intróitu portæ píscium per circúitum usque ad Ophel, et exaltávit illum veheménter: constituítque príncipes exércitus in cunctis civitátibus Juda munítis: et ábstulit deos aliénos, et simulácrum de domo Dómini: aras quoque, quas fécerat in monte domus Dómini et in Jerúsalem: et projécit ómnia extra urbem. Porro instau- [column B] rávit altáre Dómini, et immolávit super illud víctimas, et pacífica, et laudem: præcepítque Judæ ut servíret Dómino Deo Israël. Attámen adhuc pópulus immolábat in excélsis Dómino Deo suo. Réliqua autem gestórum Manásse, et obsecrátio ejus ad Deum suum, verba quoque vidéntium qui loquebántur ad eum in nómine Dómini Dei Israël, continéntur in sermónibus regum Israël. Orátio quoque ejus et exaudítio, et cuncta peccáta atque contémptus, loca étiam in quibus ædificávit excélsa, et fecit lucos et státuas ántequam ágeret pœniténtiam, scripta sunt in sermónibus Hózai. Dormívit ergo Manásses cum pátribus suis, et sepeliérunt eum in domo sua: regnavítque pro eo fílius ejus Amon. Vigínti duórum annórum erat Amon cum regnáre cœpísset, et duóbus annis regnávit in Jerúsalem. Fecítque malum in conspéctu Dómini, sicut fécerat Manásses pater ejus: et cunctis idólis quæ Manásses fúerat fabricátus, immolávit atque servívit. Et non est revéritus fáciem Dómini, sicut revéritus est Manásses pater ejus, et multo majóra delíquit. Cumque conjurássent advérsus eum servi sui, interfecérunt eum in domo sua. Porro réliqua pópuli multitúdo, cæsis iis qui Amon percússerant, constítuit regem Josíam fílium ejus pro eo. XXXIV. Octo annórum erat Josías cum regnáre cœpísset, et trigínta et uno anno regnávit in Jerúsalem. Fecítque quod erat rectum in conspéctu Dómini, et ambulávit in viis David patris sui: non declinávit neque ad dextram, neque ad sinístram. Octávo autem anno regni sui, cum adhuc esset puer, cœpit quǽrere Deum patris sui David: et duodécimo anno postquam regnáre cóeperat, mundávit Judam et Jerúsalem ab excélsis, et lucis, simulacrísque et sculptílibus. Destruxerúntque coram eo aras Baálim, et simulácra quæ superpósita fúerant, demolíti sunt: lucos étiam et sculptília succídit atque commínuit, et super túmulos eórum qui eis immoláre consuéverant, fragménta dispérsit. Ossa prætérea sacerdótum combússit in altáribus idolórum, mundavítque Judam et Jerúsalem. Sed et in úrbibus Manásse, et Éphraim, et Símeon, usque Nephtháli, cuncta subvértit. Cumque altária dissipásset, et lucos et sculptília contrivísset in frustra, cunctáque délubra demolítus esset de univérsa terra Israël, revérsus est in Jerúsalem. Ígitur anno octavodécimo regni sui, mundáta jam terra et templo Dómini, misit Saphan fílium Eséliæ, et Maásiam príncipem civitátis, et Joha fílium Jóachaz a commentáriis, ut instaurárent domum Dómini Dei sui. Qui venérunt ad Helcíam sacerdótem magnum: acceptámque ab eo pecúniam quæ illáta fúerat in domum Dómini, et quam congregáverant Levítæ, et janitóres de Manásse, et Éphraim, et univérsis relíquiis Israël, ab omni quoque Juda, et Bénjamin, et habitatóribus Jerúsalem, tradidérunt in mánibus eórum qui prǽerant operáriis in domo Dómini, ut instaurárent templum, et infírma quæque sarcírent. At illi dedérunt eam artifícibus et cæmentáriis, ut émerent lápides de lapicídinis, et ligna ad commissúras ædifícii, et ad contignatiónem domórum quas destrúxerant reges Juda. Qui fidéliter cuncta faciébant. Erant autem præpósiti operántium Jahath et Ábdias de fíliis Merári, Zacharías et Mosóllam de fíliis Caath, qui urgébant opus: omnes Levítæ sciéntes órganis cá- Verso Transcription: [column A] -nere. Super eos vero qui ad divérsos usus ónera portábant, erant scribæ, et magístri de Levítis, janitóres. Cumque efférrent pecúniam quæ illáta fúerat in templum Dómini, réperit Helcías sacérdos librum legis Dómini per manum Móysi. Et ait ad Saphan scribam: Librum legis invéni in domo Dómini: et trádidit ei. At ille íntulit vólumen ad regem, et nuntiávit ei, dicens: Ómnia quæ dedísti in manu servórum tuórum, ecce compléntur. Argéntum quod repértum est in domo Dómini, conflavérunt, datúmque est præféctis artíficum, et divérsa ópera fabricántium. Prætérea trádidit mihi Helcías sacérdos hunc librum. Quem cum rege præsénte recitásset, audissétque ille verba legis, scidit vestiménta sua: et præcépit Helcíæ, et Áhicam fílio Saphan, et Abdon fílio Micha, Saphan quoque scribæ, et Ásaæ servo regis, dicens: Ite, et oráte Dóminum pro me, et pro relíquiis Israël et Juda, super univérsis sermónibus libri istíus, qui repértus est: magnus enim furor Dómini stillávit super nos, eo quod non custodíerint patres nostri verba Dómini ut fácerent ómnia quæ scripta sunt in isto volúmine. Ábiit ergo Helcías, et hi qui simul a rege missi fúerant, ad Oldam prophétidem, uxórem Sellum fílii Thécuath fílii Hasra custódis véstium, quæ habitábat in Jerúsalem in Secúnda: et locúti sunt ei verba quæ supra narrávimus. At illa respóndit eis: Hæc dicit Dóminus Deus Israël: Dícite viro qui misit vos ad me: Hæc dicit Dóminus: Ecce ego indúcam mala super locum istum et super habitatóres ejus, cunctáque maledícta quæ scripta sunt in libro hoc, quem legérunt coram rege Juda. Quia dereliquérunt me, et sacrificavérunt diis aliénis, ut me ad iracúndiam provocárent in cunctis opéribus mánuum suárum, idcírco stillábit furor meus super locum istum, et non extinguétur. Ad regem autem Juda, qui misit vos pro Dómino deprecándo, sic loquímini: Hæc dicit Dóminus Deus Israël: Quóniam audísti verba volúminis, atque emóllitum est cor tuum, et humiliátus es in conspéctu Dei super his quæ dicta sunt contra locum hunc et habitatóres Jerúsalem, reveritúsque fáciem meam scidísti vestiménta tua, et flevísti coram me: ego quoque exaudívi te, dicit Dóminus. Jam enim cólligam te ad patres tuos, et inféreris in sepúlchrum tuum in pace: nec vidébunt óculi tui omne malum quod ego inductúrus sum super locum istum, et super habitatóres ejus. Retulérunt ítaque regi cuncta quæ díxerat. At ille convocátis univérsis majóribus natu Juda et Jerúsalem, ascéndit in domum Dómini, unáque omnes viri Juda et habitatóres Jerúsalem, sacerdótes et Levítæ, et cunctus pópulus a mínimo usque ad máximum. Quibus audiéntibus in domo Dómini, legit rex ómnia verba volúminis: et stans in tribunáli suo, percússit fœdus coram Dómino ut ambuláret post eum, et custodíret præcépta, et testimónia, et justificatiónes ejus in toto corde suo, et in tota ánima sua, facerétque quæ scripta sunt in volúmine illo, quod légerat. Adjurávit quoque super hoc omnes qui repérti fúerant in Jerúsalem et Bénjamin: et fecérunt habitatóres Jerúsalem juxta pactum Dómini Dei patrum suórum. Ábstulit ergo Josías cunctas abominatiónes de univérsis regiónibus filiórum Israël: et fecit omnes qui resídui erant in Israël, servíre Dómino Deo suo. Cunctis diébus ejus non recessérunt [column B] a Dómino Deo patrum suórum. XXXV. Fecit autem Josías in Jerúsalem Phase Dómino, quod immolátum est quartadécima die mensis primi: et constítuit sacerdótes in offíciis suis, hortatúsque est eos ut ministrárent in domo Dómini: Levítis quoque, ad quorum eruditiónem omnis Israël sanctificabátur Dómino, locútus est: Pónite arcam in sanctuário templi, quod ædificávit Sálomon fílius David rex Israël, nequáquam enim eam ultra portábitis: nunc autem ministráte Dómino Deo vestro, et pópulo ejus Israël. Et præparáte vos per domos et cognatiónes vestras in divisiónibus singulórum, sicut præcépit David rex Israël, et descrípsit Sálomon fílius ejus. Et ministráte in sanctuário per famílias turmásque Levíticas, et sanctificáti immoláte Phase: fratres étiam vestros, ut possint juxta verba quæ locútus est Dóminus in manu Móysi fácere, præparáte. Dedit prætérea Josías omni pópulo qui ibi fúerat invéntus in solemnitáte Phase, agnos et hædos de grégibus et réliqui pécoris trigínta míllia, boum quoque tria míllia: hæc de regis univérsa substántia. Duces quoque ejus sponte quod vóverant, obtulérunt, tam pópulo quam sacerdótibus et Levítis. Porro Helcías, et Zacharías, et Jáhiel príncipes domus Dómini dedérunt sacerdótibus ad faciéndum Phase pécora commíxtim duo míllia sexcénta, et boves trecéntos. Chonénias autem, et Semeías, étiam Nathánaël fratres ejus, necnon Hasábias, et Jéhiel, et Jozábad príncipes Levitárum, dedérunt céteris Levítis ad celebrándum Phase quinque míllia pécorum, et boves quingéntos. Præparatúmque est ministérium, et stetérunt sacerdótes in offício suo: Levítæ quoque in turmis, juxta regis impérium. Et immolátum est Phase: asperserúntque sacerdótes manu sua sánguinem, et Levítæ detraxérunt pelles holocaustórum: et separavérunt ea ut darent per domos et famílias singulórum, et offerréntur Dómino, sicut scriptum est in libro Móysi: de bobus quoque fecérunt simíliter. Et assavérunt Phase super ignem, juxta quod in lege scriptum est: pacíficas vero hóstias coxérunt in lebétibus, et cacábis, et ollis, et festináto distribuérunt univérsæ plebi: sibi autem et sacerdótibus póstea paravérunt, nam in oblatióne holocaustórum et ádipum usque ad noctem sacerdótes fuérunt occupáti, unde Levítæ sibi et sacerdótibus fíliis Áaron paravérunt novíssimis. Porro cantóres fílii Asaph stabant in órdine suo, juxta præcéptum David, et Asaph, et Heman, et Ídithun prophetárum regis: janitóres vero per portas síngulas observábant, ita ut nec puncto quidem discéderent a ministério: quam ob rem et fratres eórum Levítæ paravérunt eis cibos.

Title A name given to the resource E0006 Leaf from a Cambridge Bible (Biblia Sacra Latina, Versio Vulgata) Subject The topic of the resource Bible Description An account of the resource England (Cambridge); Early 13th Century. Latin Text; Early Angular Gothic Script. The only Bible known to Western Europe for the thousand years from 400 to 1400 was this version by St. Jerome. In the early part of the 13th century it is almost impossible to distinguish the book hands of France from those of England. The decorative initials, color of ink, and texture of vellum are the clues which aid in assigning provenance, as in this instance. Not many fragments of this age and size are known to have survived the destruction and dispersal of English monastic libraries which was ordered by Henry VIII in the year 1539. This small size lettering, seven lines to the inch, is formed with the skill and precision that made the 13th century noted for the finest calligraphy of all time. To write seven lines to an inch, maintain evenness throughout, and have each letter clear and precise is a great achievement for any scribe, yet in the 13th century this was not an exceptional accomplishment. The vellum is thin and soft with ink lining, obvious binding holes, and minimal yellowing, though there is obvious dirt in the bottom corner recto and a stain on the bottom right verso. The ink used for the body of the text is brown, with decoration in the form of book name and chapter numbers red and blue with some minor squiggle emphasis, not unlike that found in Leaf 04. Other identifying marks of this leaf include Roman numerals in brown ink in the margins and a "123" written in pencil. 2 Chronicles 32:28-34:12 (recto) and 34:12-35:20 (verso).

Title A name given to the resource E0007 Leaf from an Aurora Subject The topic of the resource Poetry Description An account of the resource The Aurora is unfamiliar to most of us today. As Ege suggests, it is essentially a series of long Latin poems which re-narrate (and often clarify) the content of several books of the Bible. Its author, Petrus Riga, was probably born in about 1140, became a priest at Notre Dame de Reims in France and a Canon Regular of the Order of St. Augustine at St. Denis (also in Reims), and probably wrote the poem between 1170 and 1200. He died in 1209. Aurora was apparently very well known in the high and later Middle Ages: more than 250 manuscript copies of the 15,000-line work survive. But the text was not edited for academic study until the remarkably recent date of 1965, when scholar Paul Beichner published the definitive edition of the work, Aurora: Petri Rigae Biblia Versificata (University of Notre Dame Press, 1965, 2 vols.). Beichner gives us as much information about Petrus as was known at the time, as well as the details of the poem's purpose and its complex manuscript history. He says, for example, that Petrus "...called his book Aurora, for just as aurora dissipates the darkness of night, so too his book, dissipating the darkness and obscurities of the Old Testament, glows with lightning flashes of truth and shining sparks of allegories" (xvi). More practically, he observes that in addition to the ~250 known copies of the poem, "...some additional manuscripts are still privately owned, and the Aurora seems to be second only to the omnipresent Book of Hours in the frequency of offers of manuscripts for sale by rare book and manuscript dealers" (L). The poem versifies the following books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, Kings (1-4), Tobit, Daniel, Judith, Esther, Maccabees, "Evangelium" (a synthesis of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), "Recapitulationes" (a series of 23 verse summaries of the lives of Biblical figures, each headed by a letter of the alphabet which, in imitation of Isidore's Allegoriae, is then avoided in the writing of that section), Acts, Job, and the Song of Songs. Text from several of these books can be found in the leaves from Ege's Aurora manuscript. England; Early 13th Century. Latin Text; Early Gothic Script. This famous paraphrase of the Bible in Latin verse was one of the most popular Latin books of poetry of the late 12th and 13th century. Petrus de Riga, who died in 1209, began it. Aegidius of Paris finished it. This version did not appear in printed form until a very late date, despite its popularity. The format of this page, twice as long as it is wide, demonstrates the English custom of folding the skins lengthwise. The practice of setting off by a space the initial letter of each line also helps to give the page an unusual appearance. It is written in a very small script, six lines to an inch, in a hand characteristic of Northern France and England at this period. "Evangelium" 1138-85 (recto) and 1186-1227 (verso).

Title A name given to the resource E0008 Leaf from a Gradual (Graduale) Subject The topic of the resource Gradual Description An account of the resource England; Early 13th Century. Latin Text; Early Angular Gothic Script, Square Gregorian Notation. Graduals are the books containing the chants for the celebration of the mass. English manuscripts of this early date and small size are rare. This volume, with the uncertain strokes in the script, seems to indicate that the transcriber was unaccustomed to writing in this small scale. There are four and five line staves, and the "F" and "C" lines are indicated. Most of the various foms of written notes can be found on each leaf of this book. Thos occurring more frequently are punctum (L. 'punctum', prick), a single note; virga (L. 'virga', rod), a square note with a thin line attached; podatus (L. 'pes', foot), two square notes, one above the other; climacus (L. 'climax', ladder), a virga note with two or more diamond shaped notes. There are other forms for particular nuances of expression. There are more than 2,300 chants which have come down to us from the Middle Ages. The majority of these, however, can be reduced to a relatively few melodic types -- probably not exceeding fifty in all. Text unidentified, but clearly part of the "Quem quaeritis" sequence (the discovery of the resurrection at Easter).

Text Any textual data included in the document Recto Translation: [Jeremiah 3:3-4:20] 3 Therefore the showers were withholden, and there was no lateward rain: thou hadst a harlot's forehead, thou wouldst not blush. 4 Therefore at least at this time call to me: Thou art my father, the guide of my virginity: 5 Wilt thou be angry for ever, or wilt thou continue until the end? Behold, thou hast spoken, and hast done evil things, and hast been able. 6 And the Lord said to me in the days of king Josias: Hast thou seen what rebellious Israel hast done? she hath gone out of herself upon every high mountain, and under every green tree, and hath played the harlot there. 7 And when she had done all these things, I said: Return to me, and she did not return. And her treacherous sister Juda saw, 8 That because the rebellious Israel had played the harlot, I had put her away, and had given her a bill of divorce: yet her treacherous sister Juda was not afraid, but went and played the harlot also herself. 9 And by the facility of her fornication she defiled the land, and played the harlot with stones and with stocks. 10 And after all this, her treacherous sister Juda hath not returned to me with her whole heart, but with falsehood, saith the Lord. 11 And the Lord said to me: The rebellious Israel hath justified her soul, in comparison of the treacherous Juda. 12 Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and thou shalt say: Return, O rebellious Israel, saith the Lord, and I will not turn away my face from you: for I am holy, saith the Lord, and I will not be angry for ever. 13 But yet acknowledge thy iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God: and thou hast scattered thy ways to strangers under every green tree, and hast not heard my voice, saith the Lord. 14 Return, O ye revolting children, saith the Lord: for I am your husband: and I will take you, one of a city, and two of a kindred, and will bring you into Sion. 15 And I will give you pastors according to my own heart, and they shall feed you with knowledge and doctrine. 16 And when you shall be multiplied, and increase in the land in those days, saith the Lord, they shall say no more: The ark of the covenant of the Lord: neither shall it come upon the heart, neither shall they remember it, neither shall it be visited, neither shall that be done any more. 17 At that time Jerusalem shall be called the throne of the Lord: and all the nations shall be gathered together to it, in the name of the Lord to Jerusalem, and they shall not walk after the perversity of their most wicked heart. 18 In those days the house of Juda shall go to the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land which I gave to your fathers. 19 But I said: How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a lovely land, the goodly inheritance of the armies of the Gentiles? And I said: Thou shalt call me father and shalt cease to walk after me. 20 But as a woman that despiseth her lover, so hath the house of Israel despised me, saith the Lord. 21 A voice was heard in the highways, weeping and howling of the children of Israel: because they have made their way wicked, they have forgotten the Lord their God. 22 Return, you rebellious children, and I will heal your rebellions. Behold we come to thee: for thou art the Lord our God. 23 In very deed the hills were liars, and the multitude of the mountains: truly in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel. 24 Confusion hath devoured the labor of our fathers from our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. 25 We shall sleep in our confusion, and our shame shall cover us, because we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers from our youth even to this day, and we have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God. 1 If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the Lord, return to me: if thou wilt take away thy stumblingblocks out of my sight, thou shalt not be moved. 2 And thou shalt swear: As the Lord liveth, in truth, and in judgement, and in justice: and the Gentiles shall bless him, and shall praise him. 3 For thus saith the Lord to the men of Juda and Jerusalem: Break up anew your fallow ground, and sow not upon thorns: 4 Be circumcised to the Lord, and take away the foreskins of your hearts, ye men of Juda, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my indignation come forth like fire, and burn, and there be none that can quench it: because of the wickedness of your thoughts. 5 Declare ye in Juda, and make it heard in Jerusalem: speak, and sound with the trumpet in the land: cry aloud, and say: Assemble yourselves, and let us go into strong cities. 6 Set up the standard in Sion. Strengthen yourselves, stay not: for I bring evil from the north, and great destruction. 7 The lion is come up out of his den, and the robber of nations hath roused himself: he is come forth out of his place, to make thy land desolate: thy cities shall be laid waste, remaining without an inhabitant. 8 For this gird yourselves with haircloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned away from us. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord: That the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes: and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall be amazed. 10 And I said: Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God, hast thou then deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying: You shall have peace: and behold the sword reacheth even to the soul? 11 At that time it shall be said to this people, and to Jerusalem: A burning wind is in the ways that are in the desert of the way of the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse. 12 A full wind from these places shall come to me: and now I will speak my judgments with them. 13 Behold he shall come up as a cloud, and his chariots as a tempest: his horses swifter than eagles: woe unto us, for we are laid waste. 14 Wash thy heart from wickedness, O Jerusalem, that thou mayst be saved: how long shall hurtful thoughts abide in thee? 15 For a voice of one declaring from Dan, and giving notice of the idol from mount Ephraim. 16 Say ye to the nations: Behold it is heard in Jerusalem, that guards are coming from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Juda. 17 They are set round about her, as keepers of fields: because she hath provoked me to wrath, saith the Lord. 18 Thy ways, and thy devices have brought these things upon thee: this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it hath touched thy heart. 19 My bowels, my bowels are in pain, the senses of my heart are troubled within me, I will not hold my peace, for my soul hath heard the sound of the trumpet, the cry of battle. 20 Destruction upon destruction is called for, and all the earth is laid waste: my tents are destroyed on a sudden... Verso Translation: [Jeremiah 4:20-6:5] ...and my pavilions in a moment. 21 How long shall I see men fleeing away, how long shall I hear the sound of the trumpet? 22 For my foolish people have not known me: they are foolish and senseless children: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. 23 I beheld the earth, and lo it was void, and nothing: and the heavens, and there was no light in them. 24 I looked upon the mountains, and behold they trembled: and all the hills were troubled. 25 I beheld, and lo there was no man: and all the birds of the air were gone. 26 I looked, and behold Carmel was a wilderness: and all its cities were destroyed at the presence of the Lord, and at the presence of the wrath of his indignation. 27 For thus saith the Lord: All the land shall be desolate, but yet I will not utterly destroy. 28 The earth shall mourn, and the heavens shall lament from above: because I have spoken, I have purposed, and I have not repented, neither am I turned away from it. 29 At the voice of the horsemen, and the archers, all the city is fled away; they have entered into thickets and have climbed up the rocks: all the cities are forsaken, and there dwelleth not a man in them. 30 But when thou art spoiled what wilt thou do? though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, and paintest thy eyes with stibic stone, thou shalt dress thyself out in vain: thy lovers have despised thee, they will seek thy life. 31 For I have heard the voice as of a woman in travail, anguishes as of a woman in labor of a child. The voice of the daughter of Sion, dying away, spreading her hands: Woe is me, for my soul hath fainted because of them that are slain. 1 Go about through the streets of Jerusalem, and see, and consider, and seek in the broad places thereof, if you can find a man that executeth judgement, and seeketh faith: and I will be merciful unto it. 2 And though they say: The Lord liveth; this also they will swear falsely. 3 O Lord, thy eyes are upon truth: thou hast struck them, and they have not grieved: thou hast bruised them, and they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than the rock, and they have refused to return. 4 But I said: Perhaps these are poor and foolish, that know not the way of the Lord, the judgement of their God. 5 I will go therefore to the great men, and I will speak to them: for they known the way of the Lord, the judgement of their God: and behold these have together broken the yoke more, and have burst the bonds. 6 Wherefore a lion out of the wood hath slain them, a wolf in the evening, hath spoiled them, a leopard watcheth for their cities: every one that shall go out thence shall be taken, because their transgressions are multiplied, their rebellions are strengthened. 7 How can I be merciful to thee? thy children have forsaken me, and swear by them that are not gods: I fed them to the full, and they committed adultery, and rioted in the harlot's house. 8 They are become as amorous horses and stallions, every one neighed after his neighbor's wife. 9 Shall I not visit for these things, sayeth the Lord? and shall not my soul take revenge on such a nation? 10 Scale down the walls thereof, and throw them down, but do not utterly destroy: take away the branches thereof, because they are not the Lord's. 11 For the house of Israel, and the house of Juda have greatly transgressed against me, saith the Lord. 12 They have denied the Lord, and said, It is not he: and the evil shall not come upon us: we shall not see the sword and famine. 13 The prophets have spoken in the wind, and there was no word of God in them: these things therefore shall befall them. 14 Thus saith the Lord the God of hosts: Because you have spoken this word, behold I will make my words in thy mouth as fire, and this people as wood, and it shall devour them. 15 Behold I will bring upon you a nation from afar, O house of Israel, saith the Lord: a strong nation, an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou shalt not know, nor understand what they say. 16 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all valiant. 17 And they shall eat up thy corn, and thy bread: they shall devour thy sons, and thy daughters: they shall eat up thy flocks, and thy herds: they shall eat thy vineyards, and thy figs: and with the sword they shall destroy thy strong cities, wherein thou trustest. 18 Nevertheless in those days, saith the Lord, I will not bring you to utter destruction. 19 And if you shall say: why hath the Lord our God done all these things to us? thou shalt say to them: As you have forsaken me, and served a strange god in your own land, so shall you serve strangers in a land that is not your own. 20 Declare ye this to the house of Jacob, and publish it in Juda, saying: 21 Hear, O foolish people, and without understanding: who have eyes, and see not: and ears, and hear not. 22 Will not you then fear me, saith the Lord: and will you not repent at my presence? I have set the sand a bound for the sea, an everlasting ordinance, which it shall not pass over: and the waves thereof shall toss themselves, and shall not prevail: they shall swell, and shall not pass over it. 23 But the heart of this people is become hard of belief and provoking, they are revolted and gone away. 24 And they have not said in their heart: let us fear the Lord our God, who giveth us the early and the latter rain in due season: who preserveth for us the fullness of the yearly harvest. 25 Your iniquities have turned these things away, and your sins have withholden good things from you. 26 For among my people are found wicked men, that lie in wait as fowlers, setting snares and traps to catch men. 27 As a net is full of birds, so their houses are full of deceit: therefore are they become great and enriched. 28 They are grown gross and fat: and have most wickedly transgressed my words. They have not judged the cause of the widow, they have not managed the cause of the fatherless, they have not judged the judgement of the poor. 29 Shall I not visit for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soul take revenge on such a nation? 30 Astonishing and wonderful things have been done in the land. 31 The prophets prophesied falsehood, and the priests clapped their hands: and my people loved such things: what then shall be done in the end thereof? 1 Strengthen yourselves, ye sons of Benjamin, in the midst of Jerusalem, and sound the trumpet in Thecua, and set up the standard over Bethacarem: for evil is seen out of the north, and a great destruction. 2 I have likened the daughter of Sion to a beautiful and delicate woman. 3 The shepherds shall come to her with their flocks: they have pitched their tents against her round about: every one shall feed them that are under his hand. 4 Prepare ye war against her: arise, and let us go up at midday: woe unto us, for the day is declined, for the shadows of the evening are grown longer. 5 Arise, and let us go up...

Frons mulíeris meretrícis facta est tibi; noluísti erubéscere. Ergo saltem ámodo voca me: Pater meus, dux virginitátis meæ tu es: numquid irásceris in perpétuum, aut perseverábis in finem? ecce locúta es, et fecísti mala, et potuísti. Et dixit Dóminus ad me in diébus Josíæ regis: Numquid vidísti quæ fécerit aversátrix Israël? Ábiit síbimet super omnem montem excélsum, et sub omni ligno frondóso, et fornicáta est ibi. Et dixi, cum fecísset hæc ómnia: Ad me revertére: et non est revérsa. Et vidit prævaricátrix soror ejus Juda quia pro eo quod mœcháta esset aversátrix Israël, dimisíssem eam, et dedíssem ei libéllum repúdii: et non tímuit prævaricátrix Juda soror ejus, sed ábiit, et fornicáta est étiam ipsa: et facilitáte fornicatiónis suæ contaminávit terram, et mœcháta est cum lápide et ligno: et in ómnibus his non est revérsa ad me prævaricátrix soror ejus Juda in toto corde suo, sed in mendácio, ait Dóminus. Et dixit Dóminus ad me: Justificávit ánimam suam aversátrix Israël, comparatióne prævaricatrícis Judæ. Vade, et clama sermónes istos contra aquilónem, et dices: Revertére, aversátrix Israël, ait Dóminus, et non avértam fáciem meam a vobis, quia sanctus ego sum, dicit Dóminus, et non iráscar in perpétuum. Verúmtamen scito iniquitátem tuam, quia in Dóminum Deum tuum prævaricáta es, et dispersísti vias tuas aliénis sub omni ligno frondóso, et vocem meam non audísti, ait Dóminus. Convertímini, fílii reverténtes, dicit Dóminus, quia ego vir vester: et assúmam vos unum de civitáte, et duos de cognatióne, et introdúcam vos in Sion. Et dabo vobis pastóres juxta cor meum, et pascent vos sciéntia et doctrína. Cumque multiplicáti fuéritis, et crevéritis in terra in diébus illis, ait Dóminus, non dicent ultra: Arca testaménti Dómini: neque ascéndet super cor, neque recordabúntur illíus, nec visitábitur, nec fiet ultra. In témpore illo vocábunt Jerúsalem sólium Dómini: et congregabúntur ad eam omnes gentes in nómine Dómini in Jerúsalem, et non ambulábunt post pravitátem cordis sui péssimi. In diébus illis ibit domus Juda ad domum Israël, et vénient simul de terra aquilónis ad terram quam dedi pátribus vestris. Ego autem dixi: Quómodo ponam te in fílios, et tríbuam tibi terram desiderábilem, hæreditátem præcláram exercítuum géntium? Et dixi: Patrem vocábis me, et post me íngredi non cessábis. Sed quómodo si contémnat múlier amatórem suum, sic contémpsit me domus Israël, dicit Dóminus. Vox in viis audíta est, plorátus et ululátus filiórum Israël: quóniam iníquam fecérunt viam suam; oblíti sunt Dómini Dei sui. Convertímini, fílii reverténtes, et sanábo aversiónes vestras. Ecce nos venímus ad te: tu enim es Dóminus Deus noster. Vere mendáces erant colles, et multitúdo mónti- [column B] -um: vere in Dómino Deo nostro salus Israël. Confúsio comédit labórem patrum nostrórum ab adolescéntia nostra: greges eórum, et arménta eórum, fílios eórum, et fílias eórum. Dormiémus in confusióne nostra, et opériet nos ignomínia nostra: quóniam Dómino Deo nostro peccávimus nos, et patres nostri, ab adolescéntia nostra usque ad diem hanc: et non audívimus vocem Dómini Dei nostri. IIII. Si revertéris, Israël, ait Dóminus, ad me convértere: si abstúleris offendícula tua a fácie mea, non commovéberis. Et jurábis: Vivit Dóminus in veritáte, et in judício, et in justítia: et benedícent eum gentes, ipsúmque laudábunt. Hæc enim dicit Dóminus viro Juda et Jerúsalem: Nováte vobis novále, et nolíte sérere super spinas. Circumcidímini Dómino, et auférte præpútia córdium vestrórum, viri Juda, et habitatóres Jerúsalem: ne forte egrediátur ut ignis indignátio mea, et succendátur, et non sit qui extínguat, propter malítiam cogitatiónum vestrárum. Annuntiáte in Juda, et in Jerúsalem audítum fácite: loquímini, et cánite tuba in terra, clamáte fórtiter, et dícite: Congregámini, et ingrediámur civitátes munítas. Leváte signum in Sion; confortámini, nolíte stare: quia malum ego addúco ab aquilóne, et contritiónem magnam. Ascéndit leo de cubíli suo, et prædo géntium se levávit: egréssus est de loco suo ut ponat terram tuam in solitúdinem: civitátes tuæ vastabúntur, remanéntes absque habitatóre. Super hoc accíngite vos cilíciis; plángite, et ululáte: quia non est avérsa ira furóris Dómini a nobis. Et erit in die illa, dicit Dóminus: períbit cor regis, et cor príncipum, et obstupéscent sacerdótes, et prophétæ consternabúntur. Et dixi: Heu! heu! heu! Dómine Deus, ergóne decepísti pópulum istum et Jerúsalem, dicens: Pax erit vobis: et ecce pervénit gládius usque ad ánimam? In témpore illo dicétur pópulo huic et Jerúsalem: Ventus urens in viis quæ sunt in desérto viæ fíliæ pópuli mei, non ad ventilándum et ad purgándum. Spíritus plenus ex his véniet mihi, et nunc ego loquar judícia mea cum eis. Ecce quasi nubes ascéndet, et quasi tempéstas currus ejus: velocióres áquilis equi illíus. Væ nobis, quóniam vastáti sumus. Lava a malítia cor tuum, Jerúsalem, ut salva fias: úsquequo morabúntur in te cogitatiónes nóxiæ? Vox enim annuntiántis a Dan, et notum faciéntis idólum de monte Éphraim. Dícite géntibus: Ecce audítum est in Jerúsalem custódes veníre de terra longínqua, et dare super civitátes Juda vocem suam: quasi custódes agrórum facti sunt super eam in gyro, quia me ad iracúndiam provocávit, dicit Dóminus. Viæ tuæ et cogitatiónes tuæ fecérunt hæc tibi: ista malítia tua, quia amára, quia tétigit cor tuum. Ventrem meum, ventrem meum dóleo; sensus cordis mei turbáti sunt in me. Non tacébo, quóniam vocem búccinæ audívit ánima mea, clamórem prǽlii. Contrítio super contritiónem vocáta est, et vastáta est omnis terra: repénte vastáta sunt tabernácula mea; súbito Verso Transcription: [column A] -to pelles meæ. Úsquequo vidébo fugiéntem; áudiam vocem búccinæ? Quia stultus pópulus meus me non cognóvit: fílii insipiéntes sunt et vecórdes: sapiéntes sunt ut fáciant mala, bene autem fácere nesciérunt. Aspéxi terram, et ecce vácua erat et níhili; et cælos, et non erat lux in eis. Vidi montes, et ecce movebántur: et omnes colles conturbáti sunt. Intúitus sum, et non erat homo: et omne volátile cæli recéssit. Aspéxi, et ecce Carmélus desértus, et omnes urbes ejus destrúctæ sunt a fácie Dómini, et a fácie iræ furóris ejus. Hæc enim dicit Dóminus: Desérta erit omnis terra, sed tamen consummatiónem non fáciam. Lugébit terra, et mœrébunt cæli désuper, eo quod locútus sum. Cogitávi, et non pœnítuit me, nec avérsus sum ab eo. A voce équitis et mitténtis sagíttam fugit omnis cívitas: ingréssi sunt árdua, et ascendérunt rupes: univérsæ urbes derelíctæ sunt, et non hábitat in eis homo. Tu autem vastáta, quid fácies? cum vestíeris te cóccino, cum ornáta fúeris mónili áureo, et pínxeris stíbio óculos tuos, frustra compóneris: contempsérunt te amatóres tui; ánimam tuam quærent. Vocem enim quasi parturiéntis audívi, angústias ut puérperæ: vox fíliæ Sion intermoriéntis, expandentísque manus suas: Væ mihi, quia defécit ánima mea propter interféctos! V. Circúite vias Jerúsalem, et aspícite, et consideráte, et quǽrite in platéis ejus, an inveniátis virum faciéntem judícium, et quæréntem fidem: et propítius ero ei. Quod si étiam: Vivit Dóminus, díxerint, et hoc falso jurábunt. Dómine, óculi tui respíciunt fidem: percussísti eos, et non doluérunt; attrivísti eos, et renuérunt accípere disciplínam: induravérunt fácies suas supra petram, et noluérunt revérti. Ego autem dixi: Fórsitan páuperes sunt et stulti, ignorántes viam Dómini, judícium Dei sui. Ibo ígitur ad optimátes, et loquar eis: ipsi enim cognovérunt viam Dómini, judícium Dei sui: et ecce magis hi simul confregérunt jugum; rupérunt víncula. Idcírco percússit eos leo de silva; lupus ad vésperam vastávit eos: pardus vígilans super civitátes eórum: omnis qui egréssus fúerit ex eis capiétur: quia multiplicátæ sunt prævaricatiónes eórum; confortátæ sunt aversiónes eórum. Super quo propítius tibi esse pótero? fílii tui dereliquérunt me, et jurant in his qui non sunt dii. Saturávi eos, et mœcháti sunt, et in domo meretrícis luxuriabántur. Equi amatóres et emissárii facti sunt: unusquísque ad uxórem próximi sui hinniébat. Numquid super his non visitábo, dicit Dóminus, et in gente tali non ulciscétur ánima mea? Ascéndite muros ejus, et dissipáte: consummatiónem autem nolíte fácere: auférte propágines ejus, quia non sunt Dómini. Prævaricatióne enim prævaricáta est in me domus Israël, et domus Juda, ait Dóminus. Negavérunt Dóminum, et dixérunt: Non est ipse: neque véniet super nos malum: gládium et famem [column B] non vidébimus. Prophétæ fuérunt in ventum locúti, et respónsum non fuit in eis: hæc ergo evénient illis. Hæc dicit Dóminus Deus exercítuum: Quia locúti estis verbum istud, ecce ego do verba mea in ore tuo in ignem, et pópulum istum in ligna, et vorábit eos. Ecce ego addúcam super vos gentem de longínquo, domus Israël, ait Dóminus: gentem robústam, gentem antíquam, gentem cujus ignorábis linguam, nec intélliges quid loquátur. Pháretra ejus quasi sepúlchrum patens; univérsi fortes. Et cómedet ségetes tuas et panem tuum; devorábit fílios tuos et fílias tuas; cómedet gregem tuum et arménta tua; cómedet víneam tuam et ficum tuam: et cónteret urbes munítas tuas, in quibus tu habes fidúciam, gládio. Verúmtamen in diébus illis, ait Dóminus, non fáciam vos in consummatiónem. Quod si dixéritis: Quare fecit nobis Dóminus Deus noster hæc ómnia? dices ad eos: Sicut dereliquístis me, et servístis deo aliéno in terra vestra, sic serviétis aliénis in terra non vestra. Annuntiáte hoc dómui Jacob, et audítum fácite in Juda, dicéntes: Audi, pópule stulte, qui non habes cor: qui habéntes óculos, non vidétis; et aures, et non audítis. Me ergo non timébitis, ait Dóminus, et a fácie mea non dolébitis? qui pósui arénam términum mari, præcéptum sempitérnum quod non præteríbit: et commovebúntur, et non póterunt; et intuméscent fluctus ejus, et non transíbunt illud. Pópulo autem huic factum est cor incrédulum et exásperans: recessérunt, et abiérunt. Et non dixérunt in corde suo: Metuámus Dóminum Deum nostrum, qui dat nobis plúviam temporáneam et serótinam in témpore suo, plenitúdinem ánnuæ messis custodiéntem nobis. Iniquitátes vestræ declinavérunt hæc, et peccáta vestra prohibuérunt bonum a vobis: quia invénti sunt in pópulo meo ímpii insidiántes quasi áucupes, láqueos ponéntes et pédicas ad capiéndos viros. Sicut decípula plena ávibus, sic domus eórum plenæ dolo: ídeo magnificáti sunt et ditáti. Incrassáti sunt et impinguáti, et præteriérunt sermónes meos péssime. Causam víduæ non judicavérunt, causam pupílli non direxérunt, et judícium páuperum non judicavérunt. Numquid super his non visitábo, dicit Dóminus, aut super gentem hujuscémodi non ulciscétur ánima mea? Stupor et mirabília facta sunt in terra: prophétæ prophetábant mendácium, et sacerdótes applaudébant mánibus suis, et pópulus meus diléxit tália. Quid ígitur fiet in novíssimo ejus? VI. Confortámini, fílii Bénjamin, in médio Jerúsalem: et in Thécua clángite búccina, et super Bethacárem leváte vexíllum, quia malum visum est ab aquilóne, et contrítio magna. Speciósæ et delicátæ assimilávi fíliam Sion. Ad eam vénient pastóres et greges eórum; fixérunt in ea tentória in circúitu: pascet unusquísque eos qui sub manu sua sunt.

Title A name given to the resource E0009 Leaf from a Bible (Biblia Sacra Latina, Versio Vulgata) Subject The topic of the resource Bible Description An account of the resource France (Paris); Middle 13th Century. Latin Text; Minuscule Angular Gothic Script. These miniature or portable manuscript copies of the Jerome version of the Bible were nearly all written by the young wandering friars of the newly founded order of Dominicans. With almost superhuman skill and patience, and without the aid of eyeglasses, an amazing number of these small Bibles were produced by writing with quills on uterine vellum or rabbit skins. Many such Bibles were produced for students at the early medieval universities and were made in such large quantities that today they are easy to find. The precision and beauty of the text letters and initials executed in so small a scale, twelve lines to an inch, with letters less than one-sixteenth of an inch high, are among the wonders in book history. The script is significantly faded in several places. The vellum is very white, thin, and soft, with vertical lead lines and horizontal dry-point lines. The ink is brown, red, and blue. Blue and red ink are used for decoration of the name of the book, for the initials at the beginning of each chapter, and for the Roman numeral chapter heads. The initials are complete with long flourishes. Text: Jeremiah 3:3-4:20 (recto) and 4:20-6:5 (verso).

Title A name given to the resource E0010 Leaf from a Psalter (Psalterium) Subject The topic of the resource Psalter Description An account of the resource Germany; Middle 13th Century. Latin Text; Angular Gothic Script. The line ending of a fish, elongated or shortened as the space required, and the grinning expression of the fish emblem have in some book circles given these German Psalters the nickname "Laughing Carp" Psalters. The fish, as is well known, was one of the earliest and most common symbols for Christ. An early acrostic, IESOUS CHRISTOS THEOU HUIOS SOTER ("Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior"), is based on the letters in the Greek word for fish, ICHTHUS. The lozenge heads on top of many of the vertical pen strokes are characteristic of German manuscripts. his leaf has slightly yellowed and stained vellum, and is lined in ink. The ink used for the bulk of the text is very dark, but fades into brown in places. Blue, red, coral, orange, and white are used in the decoration, and scribal corrections are included above each line where necessary. The decoration and illumination on this leaf is more elaborate than any of the preceding leaves in the portfolio. The carps and decorative bars are used to complete lines of text that do not reach to the right margin of the page, a common tool to maintain aesthetic of a full page within the borders of the leaf.

And as if these things were not enough for him, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that do receive them he forbiddeth, and casteth out of the church. 11 Dearly beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doth good, is of God: he that doth evil, hath not seen God. 12 To Demetrius testimony is given by all, and by the truth itself, yea and we also give testimony: and thou knowest that our testimony is true. 13 I had many things to write unto thee: but I would not by ink and pen write to thee. 14 But I hope speedily to see thee, and we will speak mouth to mouth. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name. Here ends the Letter of John. Here begins the letter of Jude the Apostle. [Jude (entire)] 1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James: to them that are beloved in God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called. 2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and charity be fulfilled. 3 Dearly beloved, taking all care to write unto you concerning your common salvation, I was under a necessity to write unto you: to beseech you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. 4 For certain men are secretly entered in, (who were written of long ago unto this judgment,) ungodly men, turning the grace of our Lord God into riotousness, and denying the only sovereign Ruler, and our Lord Jesus Christ. 5 I will therefore admonish you, though ye once knew all things, that Jesus, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, did afterwards destroy them that believed not: 6 And the angels who kept not their principality, but forsook their own habitation, he hath reserved under darkness in everlasting chains, unto the judgment of the great day. 7 As Sodom and Gomorrha, and the neighbouring cities, in like manner, having given themselves to fornication, and going after other flesh, were made an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. 8 In like manner these men also defile the flesh, and despise dominion, and blaspheme majesty. 9 When Michael the archangel, disputing with the devil, contended about the body of Moses, he durst not bring against him the judgment of railing speech, but said: The Lord command thee. 10 But these men blaspheme whatever things they know not: and what things soever they naturally know, like dumb beasts, in these they are corrupted. 11 Woe unto them, for they have gone in the way of Cain: and after the error of Balaam they have for reward poured out themselves, and have perished in the contradiction of Core. 12 These are spots in their banquets, feasting together without fear, feeding themselves, clouds without water, which are carried about by winds, trees of the autumn, unfruitful, twice dead, plucked up by the roots, 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own confusion; wandering stars, to whom the storm of darkness is reserved for ever. 14 Now of these Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying: Behold, the Lord cometh with thousands of his saints, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to reprove all the ungodly for all the works of their ungodliness, whereby they have done ungodly, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against God. 16 These are murmurers, full of complaints, walking according to their own desires, and their mouth speaketh proud things, admiring persons for gain's sake. 17 But you, my dearly beloved, be mindful of the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, 18 Who told you, that in the last time there should come mockers, walking according to their own desires in ungodlinesses. 19 These are they, who separate themselves, sensual men, having not the Spirit. 20 But you, my beloved, building yourselves upon your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto life everlasting. 22 And some indeed reprove, being judged: 23 But others save, pulling them out of the fire. And on others have mercy, in fear, hating also the spotted garment which is carnal. 24 Now to him who is able to preserve you without sin, and to present you spotless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, 25 To the only God our Saviour through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory and magnificence, empire and power, before all ages, and now, and for all ages of ages. Amen. Here ends the letter of Jude the Apostle. Here begins the prologue to the apocalypse of John the Apostle. Verso Translation: [27 lines of prologue unstranscribed.] [Apocalypse 1:1-2:7] 1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to make known to his servants the things which must shortly come to pass: and signified, sending by his angel to his servant John, 2 Who hath given testimony to the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, what things soever he hath seen. 3 Blessed is he, that readeth and heareth the words of this prophecy; and keepeth those things which are written in it; for the time is at hand. 4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia. Grace be unto you and peace from him that is, and that was, and that is to come, and from the seven spirits which are before his throne, 5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth, who hath loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath made us a kingdom, and priests to God and his Father, to him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen. 7 Behold, he cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they also that pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth shall bewail themselves because of him. Even so. Amen. 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, saith the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty. 9 I John, your brother and your partner in tribulation, and in the kingdom, and patience in Christ Jesus, was in the island, which is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus. 10 I was in the spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11 Saying: What thou seest, write in a book, and send to the seven churches which are in Asia, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamus, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea. 12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks: 13 And in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks, one like to the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the feet, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14 And his head and his hairs were white, as white wool, and as snow, and his eyes were as a flame of fire, 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as in a burning furnace. And his voice as the sound of many waters. 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars. And from his mouth came out a sharp two edged sword: and his face was as the sun shineth in his power. 17 And when I had seen him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying: Fear not. I am the First and the Last, 18 And alive, and was dead, and behold I am living for ever and ever, and have the keys of death and of hell. 19 Write therefore the things which thou hast seen, and which are, and which must be done hereafter. 20 The mystery of the seven stars, which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches. And the seven candlesticks are the seven churches. 1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write: These things saith he, who holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks: 2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them that are evil, and thou hast tried them, who say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 3 And thou hast patience, and hast endured for my name, and hast not fainted. 4 But I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first charity. 5 Be mindful therefore from whence thou art fallen: and do penance, and do the first works. Or else I come to thee, and will move thy candlestick out of its place, except thou do penance. 6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaites, which I also hate. 7 He, that hath an ear, let him hear...

Title A name given to the resource E0011 Leaf from a Bible (Biblia Sacra Latina, Versio Vulgata) Subject The topic of the resource Bible Description An account of the resource Italy; Middle 13th Century. Latin Text; Rotunda Gothic Script. In 1217, St. Dominic, the founder of the order which bears his name, withdrew from France and settled in Italy. Here, in the next four and last years of his life, he founded sixty more chapters of the Dominican order. Many of the younger members of the order studied at the University of Bologna and, while there, produced a great number of these small portable Bibles, just as did their brothers at the University of Paris in France and the University of Oxford in England. There was a difference in the art of the scriptoria in the various countries. In England and France the ideal of craftsmanship was very high, while at this time, in Italy, a rather casual attitude prevailed. In the 13th century, Italy was distraught by the long struggle between the papal and anti-imperialistic Guelphs and the autocratic and imperialistic Ghibellines. Little encouragement was given by either party to the arts. This leaf reveals, however, the skill and keen eyesight which were necessary for the writing of ten of these lines to the inch. This leaf's vellum is thin and supple, with minimal yellowing. It is lead-lined and includes blue, red, and black ink. Though not illuminated, this leaf includes decorative initials with flourishes, as well as red and blue book numbers and chapter names. Phrases are highlighted in red, which also marks the first letter of each sentence. Text: 3 John 3-15; Jude (entire) (recto); prologue to Apocalypse and Apocalypse 1:1-2:7 (verso).

Title A name given to the resource E0012 Leaf from a Psalter (Psalterium) Subject The topic of the resource Psalter Description An account of the resource Flanders; Middle 13th Century. Latin Text; Angular Gothic Script. This small Psalter leaf illustrates the fact that, although skilled scribes were available in many monasteries in the 13th century, some of the monks who attempted to apply and burnish the gold leaf were still struggling with many problems of illumination. The famous treatise De arte illuminandi and Cennino Cennini's Trattato were both of later date. These works gave directions on how to prepare and use the glair of egg, Armenian bole, stag-horn glue, and hare's foot, and on how to burnish the gold with a suitable wolf's tooth. These books might not have been too helpful, however, for the author of the De arte illuminandi adds, "Since experience is worth more in all this than written documents, I am not taking any special pains to explain what I mean." The vellum is of poor quality, yellowed, hard, thick, and stiff, and the decoration and illumination are clumsy. The page has been cropped through the illumination on the outer edge. The ink used in the text is brown, with coral, blue, and white for the decoration, as well as gold leaf. Text: Psalms 118:148-158 (recto) and 118:159-168 (verso).

Amen. 18 This precept I commend to thee, O son Timothy; according to the prophecies going before on thee, that thou war in them a good warfare, 19 Having faith and a good conscience, which some rejecting have made shipwreck concerning the faith. 20 Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered up to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme. 1 I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men: 2 For kings, and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus: 6 Who gave himself a redemption for all, a testimony in due times. 7 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher and an apostle, (I say the truth, I lie not,) a doctor of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 8 I will therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger and contention. 9 In like manner women also in decent apparel: adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire, 10 But as it becometh women professing godliness, with good works. 11 Let the woman learn in silence, with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed; then Eve. 14 And Adam was not seduced; but the woman being seduced, was in the transgression. 15 Yet she shall be saved through childbearing; if she continue in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety. 1 A faithful saying: if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2 It behoveth therefore a bishop to be blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, prudent, of good behaviour, chaste, given to hospitality, a teacher, 3 Not given to wine, no striker, but modest, not quarrelsome, not covetous, but 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity. 5 But if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God? 6 Not a neophyte: lest being puffed up with pride, he fall into the judgment of the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good testimony of them who are without: lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 8 Deacons in like manner chaste, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre: 9 Holding the mystery of faith in a pure conscience. 10 And let these also first be proved: and so let them minister, having no crime. 11 The women in like manner chaste, not slanderers, but sober, faithful in all things. 12 Let deacons be the husbands of one wife: who rule well their children, and their own houses. 13 For they that have ministered well, shall purchase to themselves a good degree, and much confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 14 These things I write to thee, hoping that I shall come to thee shortly. 15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 16 And evidently great is the mystery of godliness, which was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, appeared unto angels, hath been preached unto the Gentiles, is believed in the world, is taken up in glory. 1 Now the Spirit manifestly saith, that in the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error, and doctrines of devils, 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy, and having their conscience seared, 3 Forbidding to marry, to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and by them that have known the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected that is received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 6 These things proposing to the brethren, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished up in the words of faith, and of the good doctrine which thou hast attained unto. 7 But avoid foolish and old wives' fables: and exercise thyself unto godliness. 8 For bodily exercise is profitable to little: but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 9 A faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. 10 For therefore we labor and are reviled, because we hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially... Verso Translation: [1 Timothy 4:10-6:19] ...who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful. 11 These things command and teach. 12 Let no man despise thy youth: but be thou an example of the faithful in word, in conversation, in charity, in faith, in chastity. 13 Till I come, attend unto reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine. 14 Neglect not the grace that is in thee, which was given thee by prophesy, with imposition of the hands of the priesthood. 15 Meditate upon these things, be wholly in these things: that thy profiting may be manifest to all. 16 Take heed to thyself and to doctrine: be earnest in them. For in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee. 1 An ancient man rebuke not, but entreat him as a father: young men, as brethren: 2 Old women, as mothers: young women, as sisters, in all chastity. 3 Honour widows, that are widows indeed. 4 But if any widow have children, or grandchildren, let her learn first to govern her own house, and to make a return of duty to her parents: for this is acceptable before God. 5 But she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, let her trust in God, and continue in supplications and prayers night and day. 6 For she that liveth in pleasures, is dead while she is living. 7 And this give in charge, that they may be blameless. 8 But if any man have not care of his own, and especially of those of his house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. 9 Let a widow be chosen of no less than threescore years of age, who hath been the wife of one husband. 10 Having testimony for her good works, if she have brought up children, if she have received to harbour, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have ministered to them that suffer tribulation, if she have diligently followed every good work. 11 But the younger widows avoid. For when they have grown wanton in Christ, they will marry: 12 Having damnation, because they have made void their first faith. 13 And withal being idle they learn to go about from house to house: and are not only idle, but tattlers also, and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. 14 I will therefore that the younger should marry, bear children, be mistresses of families, give no occasion to the adversary to speak evil. 15 For some are already turned aside after Satan. 16 If any of the faithful have widows, let him minister to them, and let not the church be charged: that there may be sufficient for them that are widows indeed. 17 Let the priests that rule well, be esteemed worthy of double honour: especially they who labour in the word and doctrine: 18 For the scripture saith: Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn: and, The labourer is worthy of his reward. 19 Against a priest receive not an accusation, but under two or three witnesses. 20 Them that sin reprove before all: that the rest also may have fear. 21 I charge thee before God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by declining to either side. 22 Impose not hands lightly upon any man, neither be partaker of other men's sins. Keep thyself chaste. 23 Do not still drink water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake, and thy frequent infirmities. 24 Some men's sins are manifest, going before to judgment: and some men they follow after. 25 In like manner also good deeds are manifest: and they that are otherwise, cannot be hid. 1 Whosoever are servants under the yoke, let them count their masters worthy of all honour; lest the name of the Lord and his doctrine be blasphemed. 2 But they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but serve them the rather, because they are faithful and beloved, who are partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort. 3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to that doctrine which is according to godliness, 4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and strifes of words; from which arise envies, contentions, blasphemies, evil suspicions, 5 Conflicts of men corrupted in mind, and who are destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness. 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world: and certainly we can carry nothing out. 8 But having food, and wherewith to be covered, with these we are content. 9 For they that will become rich, fall into temptation, and into the snare of the devil, and into many unprofitable and hurtful desires, which drown men into destruction and perdition. 10 For the desire of money is the root of all evils; which some coveting have erred from the faith, and have entangled themselves in many sorrows. 11 But thou, O man of God, fly these things: and pursue justice, godliness, faith, charity, patience, mildness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith: lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art called, and hast confessed a good confession before many witnesses. 13 I charge thee before God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate, a good confession, 14 That thou keep the commandment without spot, blameless, unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Which in his times he shall shew who is the Blessed and only Mighty, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 Who only hath immortality, and inhabiteth light inaccessible, whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and empire everlasting. Amen. 17 Charge the rich of this world not to be highminded, nor to trust in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, (who giveth us abundantly all things to enjoy,) 18 To do good, to be rich in good works, to give easily, to communicate to others, 19 To lay up in store for themselves...

Si quis autem dómui suæ præésse nescit, quómodo ecclésiæ Dei diligéntiam habébit? Non neóphytum: ne in supérbiam elátus, in judícium íncidat diáboli. Opórtet autem illum et testimónium habére bonum ab iis qui foris sunt, ut non in oppróbrium íncidat, et in láqueum diáboli. Diáconos simíliter pudícos, non bilíngues, non multo vino déditos, non turpe lucrum sectántes: habéntes mystérium fídei in consciéntia pura. Et hi autem probéntur primum: et sic minístrent, nullum crimen habéntes. Mulíeres simíliter pudícas, non detrahéntes, sóbrias, fidéles in ómnibus. Diáconi sint uníus uxóris viri, qui fíliis suis bene præsint, et suis dómibus. Qui enim bene ministráverint, gradum bonum sibi acquírent, et multam fidúciam in fide, quæ est in Christo Jesu. Hæc tibi scribo, sperans me ad te veníre cito: si autem tardávero, ut scias quómodo opórteat te in domo Dei conversári, quæ est ecclésia Dei vivi, colúmna et firmaméntum veritátis. Et maniféste magnum est pietátis sacraméntum, quod manifestátum est in carne, justificátum est in spíritu, appáruit ángelis, prædicátum est géntibus, créditum est in mundo, assúmptum est in glória.

Quia omnis creatúra Dei bona est, et nihil rejiciéndum quod cum gratiárum actióne percípitur: sanctificátur enim per verbum Dei, et oratiónem. Hæc propónens frátribus, bonus eris miníster Christi Jesu enutrítus verbis fídei, et bonæ doctrínæ, quam assecútus es. Inéptas autem, et ániles fábulas dévita: exérce autem teípsum ad pietátem.

Title A name given to the resource E0013 Leaf from an Oxford Bible (Biblia Sacra Latina, Versio Vulgata) Subject The topic of the resource Bible Description An account of the resource England (Oxford); Middle 13th Century. Latin Text; Angular Gothic Script. It is usually difficult to dinstinguish the miniature or portable Bibles made by the young Dominican friars in England from those written in France. At times the colophon tells us that a book was executed in the Sorbonne, the newly founded school of theology in Paris, or in the University Center at Oxford. The Dominican order was founded in 1216 A.D. and soon spread all over Europe. About 1219 A.D., King Alexander of Scotland met St. Dominic in Paris and persuaded him to send some members of his brotherhood to Scotland. From here they spread to England. The original master text was carelessly transcribed again and again. It may even have been incorrectly copied from the Alcuinian text written for Charlemagne. Therefore, "correctories" had to be made. In the latter part of the 13th century, Roger Bacon condemned unsparingly manuscripts which, although they were skillfully and beautifully written, transmitted inaccuracies of text. The vellum of this leaf is fine, thin, and supple, with no yellowing. The leaf is lined in brown ink, with brown ink for the text and decorations in red and blue. There is no illumination.

Text Any textual data included in the document Recto Translation: [Judith 16:31] ...the festivity of this victory is received by the Hebrews in the number of holy days, and is religiously observed by the Jews from that time until this day. Here begins the prologue of the blessed Presbyter Jerome to the book of Esther. The Book of Esther stands corrupted by various translators. Which book I, lifting up from the archives of the Hebrews, have translated more accurately word for word. The common edition drags the book by knotted ropes of words hither and yon, adding to it things which may have been said or heard at any time. This is as is usual with instruction in schools, when a subject has been taken up, to figure out from the words which someone may have used, which one either suffered injury, or which one caused injury (to the text). And you, O Paula and Eustochium, since you have both studied to enter the libraries of the Hebrews and also have approved of the battles of the interpreters, holding the Hebrew Book of Esther, look through each word of our translation, so you may be able to understand me also to have augmented nothing by adding, but rather with faithful witness simply to have translated, just as it is found in the Hebrew, the Hebrew history into the Latin language. We are not affected by the praises of men, nor are we afraid of (their) slanders. For to be pleasing to God we do not inwardly fear those caring for the minas of men, “for God has scattered the bones of those desiring to be pleasing to men,” and according to the Apostle, those like this are “not able to be servants of Christ.” [7 lines of the prologue untranscribed.] Here ends the prologue. Here begins the book of Esther. [Esther 1:1-17] 1 In the days of Assuerus, who reigned from India to Ethiopia over a hundred and twenty-seven provinces: 2 When he sat on the throne of his kingdom, the city Susan was the capital of his kingdom. 3 Now in the third year of his reign he made a great feast for all the princes, and for his servants, for the most mighty of the Persians, and the nobles of the Medes, and the governors of the provinces in his sight, 4 That he might shew the riches of the glory of his kingdom, and the greatness, and boasting of his power, for a long time, to wit, for a hundred and fourscore days. 5 And when the days of the feast were expired, he invited all the people that were found in Susan, from the greatest to the least: and commanded a feast to be made seven days in the court of the garden, and of the wood, which was planted by the care and the hand of the king. 6 And there were hung up on every side sky coloured, and green, and violet hangings, fastened with cords of silk, and of purple, which were put into rings of ivory, and were held up with marble pillars. The beds also were of gold and silver, placed in order upon a floor paved with porphyry and white marble: which was embellished with painting of wonderful variety. 7 And they that were invited, drank in golden cups, and the meats were brought in divers vessels one after another. Wine also in abundance and of the best was presented, as was worthy of a king's magnificence. 8 Neither was there any one to compel them to drink that were not willing, but as the king had appointed, who set over every table one of his nobles, that every man might take what he would. 9 Also Vasthi the queen made a feast for the women in the palace, where king Assuerus was used to dwell. 10 Now on the seventh day, when the king was merry, and after very much drinking was well warmed with wine, he commanded Mauman, and Bazatha, and Harbona, and Bagatha, and Abgatha, and Zethar, and Charcas, the seven eunuchs that served in his presence, 11 To bring in queen Vasthi before the king, with the crown set upon her head, to shew her beauty to all the people and the princes: for she was exceeding beautiful. 12 But she refused, and would not come at the king's commandment, which he had signified to her by the eunuchs. Whereupon the king, being angry, and inflamed with a very great fury, 13 Asked the wise men, who according to the custom of the kings, were always near his person, and all he did was by their counsel, who knew the laws, and judgments of their forefathers: 14 (Now the chief and nearest him were, Charsena, and Sethar, and Admatha, and Tharsis, and Mares, and Marsana, and Mamuchan, seven princes of the Persians, and of the Medes, who saw the face of the king, and were used to sit first after him:) 15 What sentence ought to pass upon Vasthi the queen, who had refused to obey the commandment of king Assuerus, which he had sent to her by the eunuchs? 16 And Mamuchan answered, in the hearing of the king and the princes: Queen Vasthi hath not only injured the king, but also all the people and princes that are in all the provinces of king Assuerus. 17 For this deed of the queen will go abroad to all women, so that they will despise their husbands, and will say... Verso Translation: [Esther 1:17-2:19] ...will say: King Assuerus commanded that queen Vasthi should come in to him, and she would not. 18 And by this example all the wives of the princes of the Persians and the Medes will slight the commandments of their husbands: wherefore the king's indignation is just. 19 If it please thee, let an edict go out from thy presence, and let it be written according to the law of the Persians and of the Medes, which must not be altered, that Vasthi come in no more to the king, but another, that is better than her, be made queen in her place. 20 And let this be published through all the provinces of thy empire, (which is very wide,) and let all wives, as well of the greater as of the lesser, give honour to their husbands. 21 His counsel pleased the king, and the princes: and the king did according to the counsel of Mamuchan. 22 And he sent letters to all the provinces of his kingdom, as every nation could hear and read, in divers languages and characters, that the husbands should be rulers and masters in their houses: and that this should be published to every people. 1 After this, when the wrath of king Assuerus was appeased, he remembered Vasthi, and what she had done and what she had suffered: 2 And the king's servants and his officers said: Let young women be sought for the king, virgins and beautiful, 3 And let some persons be sent through all the provinces to look for beautiful maidens and virgins: and let them bring them to the city of Susan, and put them into the house of the women under the hand of Egeus the eunuch, who is the overseer and keeper of the king's women: and let them receive women's ornaments, and other things necessary for their use. 4 And whosoever among them all shall please the king's eyes, let her be queen instead of Vasthi. The word pleased the king: and he commanded it should be done as they had suggested. 5 There was a man in the city of Susan, a Jew, named Mardochai, the son of Jair, the son of Semei, the son of Cis, of the race of Jemini, 6 Who had been carried away from Jerusalem at the time that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon carried away Jechonias king of Juda, 7 And he had brought up his brother's daughter Edissa, who by another name was called Esther: now she had lost both her parents: and was exceeding fair and beautiful. And her father and mother being dead, Mardochai adopted her for his daughter. 8 And when the king's ordinance was noised abroad, and according to his commandment many beautiful virgins were brought to Susan, and were delivered to Egeus the eunuch: Esther also among the rest of the maidens was delivered to him to be kept in the number of the women. 9 And she pleased him, and found favour in his sight. And he commanded the eunuch to hasten the women's ornaments, and to deliver to her her part, and seven of the most beautiful maidens of the king's house, and to adorn and deck out both her and her waiting maids. 10 And she would not tell him her people nor her country. For Mardochai had charged her to say nothing at all of that: 11 And he walked every day before the court of the house, in which the chosen virgins were kept, having a care for Esther's welfare, and desiring to know what would befall her. 12 Now when every virgin's turn came to go in to the king, after all had been done for setting them off to advantage, it was the twelfth month: so that for six months they were anointed with oil of myrrh, and for other six months they used certain perfumes and sweet spices. 13 And when they were going in to the king, whatsoever they asked to adorn themselves they received: and being decked out, as it pleased them, they passed from the chamber of the women to the king's chamber. 14 And she that went in at evening, came out in the morning, and from thence she was conducted to the second house, that was under the hand of Susagaz the eunuch, who had the charge over the king's concubines: neither could she return any more to the king, unless the king desired it, and had ordered her by name to come. 15 And as the time came orderly about, the day was at hand, when Esther, the daughter of Abihail the brother of Mardochai, whom he had adopted for his daughter, was to go in to the king. But she sought not women's ornaments, but whatsoever Egeus the eunuch the keeper of the virgins had a mind, he gave her to adorn her. For she was exceeding fair, and her incredible beauty made her appear agreeable and amiable in the eyes of all. 16 So she was brought to the chamber of king Assuerus the tenth month, which is called Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. 17 And the king loved her more than all the women, and she had favour and kindness before him above all the women, and he set the royal crown on her head, and made her queen instead of Vasthi. 18 And he commanded a magnificent feast to be prepared for all the princes, and for his servants, for the marriage and wedding of Esther. And he gave rest to all the provinces, and bestowed gifts according to princely magnificence. 19 And when the virgins were sought the second time, and gathered together, Mardochai stayed...

[7 lines of the prologue untranscribed.] Explicit prologus. Incipit liber Hester. Cumque impleréntur dies convívii, invitávit omnem pópulum, qui invéntus est in Susan, a máximo usque ad mínimum: et jussit septem diébus convívium præparári in vestíbulo horti, et nemóris quod régio cultu et manu cónsitum erat. Et pendébant ex omni parte tentória ǽrii colóris et carbásini ac hyacínthini, sustentáta fúnibus býssinis atque purpúreis, qui ebúrneis círculis insérti erant, et colúmnis marmóreis fulciebántur. Léctuli quoque áurei et argéntei, super paviméntum smarágdino et pário stratum lápide, dispósiti erant: quod mira varietáte pictúra decorábat. Bibébant autem qui invitáti erant áureis póculis, et áliis atque áliis vasis cibi inferebántur. Vinum quoque, ut magnificéntia régia dignum erat, abúndans, et præcípuum ponebátur. Nec erat qui noléntes cógeret ad bibéndum, sed sicut rex statúerat, præpónens mensis síngulos de princípibus suis ut súmeret unusquísque quod vellet. Vasthi quoque regína fecit convívium feminárum in palátio, ubi rex Assúerus manére consuéverat. Ítaque die séptimo, cum rex esset hilárior, et post nímiam potatiónem incaluísset mero, præcépit Maumam, et Bazátha, et Harbóna, et Bagátha, et Abgátha, et Zethar, et Charchas, septem eunúchis qui in conspéctu ejus ministrábant, ut introdúcerent regínam Vasthi coram rege, pósito super caput ejus diadémate, ut osténderet cunctis pópulis et princípibus pulchritúdinem illíus: erat enim pulchra valde. Quæ rénuit, et ad regis impérium quod per eunúchos mandáverat, veníre contémpsit. Unde irátus rex, et nímio furóre succénsus, interrogávit sapiéntes, qui ex more régio semper ei áderant, et illórum faciébat cuncta consílio, sciéntium leges, ac jura majórum (erant autem primi et próximi, Chársena, et Sethar, et Admátha, et Tharsis, et Mares, et Marsána, et Mámuchan, septem duces Persárum, atque Medórum, qui vidébant fáciem regis, et primi post eum resídere sóliti erant): cui senténtiæ Vasthi regína subjacéret, quæ Assúeri regis impérium, quod per eunúchos mandáverat, fácere noluísset. Respondítque Mámuchan, audiénte rege atque princípibus: Non solum regem læsit regína Vasthi, sed et omnes pópulos et príncipes qui sunt in cunctis provínciis regis Assúeri. Egrediétur enim sermo regínæ ad omnes mulíeres, ut contémnant viros suos, et di- Verso Transcription: [column A] -dicant: Rex Assúerus jussit ut regína Vasthi intráret ad eum, et illa nóluit. Atque hoc exémplo omnes príncipum cónjuges Persárum atque Medórum parvipéndent impéria maritórum: unde regis justa est indignátio. Si tibi placet, egrediátur edíctum a fácie tua, et scribátur juxta legem Persárum atque Medórum, quam præteríri illícitum est, ut nequáquam ultra Vasthi ingrediátur ad regem, sed regnum illíus áltera, quæ mélior est illa, accípiat. Et hoc in omne (quod latíssimum est) provinciárum tuárum divulgétur impérium, et cunctæ uxóres, tam majórum quam minórum, déferant máritis suis honórem. Plácuit consílium ejus regi et princípibus: fecítque rex juxta consílium Mámuchan, et misit epístolas ad univérsas províncias regni sui, ut quæque gens audíre et légere póterat, divérsis linguis et lítteris, esse viros príncipes ac majóres in dómibus suis: et hoc per cunctos pópulos divulgári. II. His ita gestis, postquam regis Assúeri indignátio deferbúerat, recordátus est Vasthi, et quæ fecísset, vel quæ passa esset: dixerúntque púeri regis ac minístri ejus: Quærántur regi puéllæ vírgines ac speciósæ, et mittántur qui consíderent per univérsas províncias puéllas speciósas et vírgines: et addúcant eas ad civitátem Susan, et tradant eas in domum feminárum sub manu Égei eunúchi, qui est præpósitus et custos mulíerum regiárum: et accípiant mundum mulíebrem, et cétera ad usus necessária. Et quæcúmque inter omnes óculis regis placúerit, ipsa regnet pro Vasthi. Plácuit sermo regi: et ita, ut suggésserant, jussit fíeri. Erat vir Judǽus in Susan civitáte, vocábulo Mardochǽus fílius Jair, fílii Sémei, fílii Cis, de stirpe Jémini, qui translátus fúerat de Jerúsalem eo témpore quo Jechoníam regem Juda Nabuchodonósor rex Babylónis transtúlerat, qui fuit nutrítius fíliæ fratris sui Edíssæ, quæ áltero nómine vocabátur Esther, et utrúmque paréntem amíserat: pulchra nimis, et decóra fácie. Mortuísque patre ejus ac matre, Mardochǽus sibi eam adoptávit in fíliam. Cumque percrebruísset regis impérium, et juxta mandátum illíus multæ pulchræ vírgines adduceréntur Susan, et Égeo traderéntur eunúcho, Esther quoque inter céteras puéllas ei trádita est, ut servarétur in número feminárum. Quæ plácuit ei, [column B] et invénit grátiam in conspéctu illíus. Et præcépit eunúcho, ut acceleráret mundum mulíebrem, et tráderet ei partes suas, et septem puéllas speciosíssimas de domo regis, et tam ipsam quam pedisséquas ejus ornáret atque excóleret. Quæ nóluit indicáre ei pópulum et pátriam suam: Mardochǽus enim præcéperat ei, ut de hac re omníno retíceret: qui deambulábat quotídie ante vestíbulum domus, in qua eléctæ vírgines servabántur, curam agens salútis Esther, et scire volens quid ei accíderet. Cum autem venísset tempus singulárum per órdinem puellárum ut intrárent ad regem, explétis ómnibus quæ ad cultum mulíebrem pertinébant, mensis duodécimus vertebátur: ita dumtáxat, ut sex ménsibus óleo ungeréntur mýrrhino, et áliis sex quibúsdam pigméntis et aromátibus uteréntur. Ingredientésque ad regem, quidquid postulássent ad ornátum pértinens, accipiébant: et ut eis placúerat, compósitæ de triclínio feminárum ad regis cubículum transíbant. Et quæ intráverat véspere, egrediebátur mane, atque inde in secúndas ædes deducebátur, quæ sub manu Susagázi eunúchi erant, qui concubínis regis præsidébat: nec habébat potestátem ad regem ultra redeúndi, nisi voluísset rex, et eam veníre jussísset ex nómine. Evolúto autem témpore per órdinem, instábat dies quo Esther fília Abíhail fratris Mardochǽi, quam sibi adoptáverat in fíliam, déberet intráre ad regem. Quæ non quæsívit mulíebrem cultum, sed quæcúmque vóluit Égeus eunúchus custos vírginum, hæc ei ad ornátum dedit. Erat enim formósa valde, et incredíbili pulchritúdine: ómnium óculis gratiósa et amábilis videbátur. Ducta est ítaque ad cubículum regis Assúeri mense décimo, qui vocátur Tebeth, séptimo anno regni ejus. Et adamávit eam rex plus quam omnes mulíeres, habuítque grátiam et misericórdiam coram eo super omnes mulíeres: et pósuit diadéma regni in cápite ejus, fecítque eam regnáre in loco Vasthi. Et jussit convívium præparári permagníficum cunctis princípibus et servis suis pro conjunctióne et núptiis Esther. Et dedit réquiem univérsis provínciis, ac dona largítus est juxta magnificéntiam principálem.

Title A name given to the resource E0014 Leaf from a Bible (Biblia Sacra Latina, Versio Vulgata) Subject The topic of the resource Bible Description An account of the resource France; Late 13th Century. Latin Text; Angular Gothic Script This copy of the Latin version by St. Jerome was made during the period when France stood at the height of her medieval glory. A decade or two before, Louis IX (Saint Louis), the strongest monarch of his age, had made France the mightiest power in Europe. This favorable political situation rendered possible the "golden age" of the manuscript, and Paris became the center in which the finest manuscripts were written and sold. In the quarter century from 1275 to 1300, marked advances were effected in the art. The bar borders came to be executed in rich opaque gouache pigments, with ultramarine made of powdered lapis lazuli predominating. The foliage scroll work inside the initial frame created a style that persisted with little or no change for nearly two hundred years. The script was well executed and was without rigidity or tension. All these elements, together with the sparkle which was created by the casual distribution of the burnished gold accents, give to this leaf a striking atmosphere of joyous freedom. The vellum is thin, white, and supple, with minimal yellowing. Lining is done in light ink or lead. The bulk of the text is in brown ink, with red, blue, coral, white, and beige for the decorations. This leaf is heavily illuminated and decorated, including scenes from the book of Esther, elaborate initials and foliage, highlighted book names and chapter numbers, and extensive use of gold leaf. While the decoration is exceptional, we can see an unusual number of scribal corrections (especially erasures and strikethroughs). Text: Judith 16:31; Jerome's prologue to Esther; Esther 1:1-17 (recto); Esther 1:17-2:19 (verso). The translation of the prologue to Esther is by Kevin P. Edgecomb.

Title A name given to the resource E0015 Leaf from a Missal (Missale Bellovacense) Subject The topic of the resource Missal Description An account of the resource France (Beauvais); Late 13th Century. Latin Text; Transitional Gothic Script. This manuscript, a special gift to a church in the city of Beauvais, was written for Robert de Hangest, a canon, about 1285 A.D. At that time, Beauvais was one of the most important art centers in all Europe. The ornament in this leaf shows the first flowering of Gothic interest in nature. The formal heiratic treatment is here giving way to graceful naturalism. The ivy branch has put forth its first leaves in the history of ornament. The writing, likewise, is departing from its previous rigid character and displays an ornamental pliancy which harmonizes with the decorative initials. The vellum leaves from this manuscript are among the most immaculately-prepared in the Ege portfolios; the whiteness of the surface provides an arresting contrast with the colors of the text and decoration. The pages have been trimmed, resulting in the occasional loss of some of the dragon-tailed extenders from the boxed initials. Leaves from this manuscript are especially widespread outside the portfolios. Text: Unidentified.
