Full Metadata

Title
Moralia in Job manuscript leaf
Abstract
A manuscript leaf of Gregory the Great's Moralia in Job previously used as binding material.
Description
Manuscript leaf with rotunda script from the early part of the high Middle Ages. The text is from a copy of the commentary on Job by Gregory the Great, who applied a threefold exegesis to the biblical text, including the literal sense, the tropoligical (or moral) sense and the allegorical sense. The text passage is from liber XXXIII,23 ""[Vultusque eius] non sunt amplius in diversa mutati, quia videlicet mens eius nequamquam post preces inepta laetitia lasciviendo perdidit, quod orationis suae tempore gemituum rigor exquisivit." to liber XXXIV,2-3 "vultus eius quis aperiet? Portae vultus eius sunt iniqui doctores, qui idcirco portae vultus eius vocati sunt, quia per ipsos quisque ingreditur, ut Le[viathan iste quasi in potestatis suae principatu videatur]". Only one side is inscribed. The parchment had been used as the endpaper for the binding of an incunable (Guido Bonatus, Decem tractatus astronomiae. Augsburg, Erhard Ratdolt, 26.III.1491; HC2461, GW4643).
