Medieval Manuscripts in Cambridge Libraries: Cambridge, Trinity College, MS B.8.12

Diktyon no.: Diktyon 11926

Introduction: This manuscript, probably copied in the 12th or 13th century, contains various orations by Gregory of Nazianzus. The manuscript suffered the loss of some folios, which were replaced in the early 16th century. It is decorated with red-ink headpieces, along with some in polychromy and some pylai. Previously owned by the Greek monastery of Pantokratoros on Mount Athos, MS B.9.12 was bought by the classical scholar Richard Bentley and bequeathed to Trinity College Library after his death. Dr Matteo Di Franco

Provenance and Acquisition

The manuscript comes from the Pantokratoros Monastery on Mount Athos (see notes on ff. 1r, 3r). From the notes is not clear whether Θεολόγος refers to Gregorius of Nazianzus or a monk of the monastery. The possession note of Constantinos of Gardikion on f. 357r is in all likelihood earlier.

Purchased from Pantokratoros by Richard Bentley (1662-1742) , Master of Trinity College.

Bequeathed by Bentley to the College Library after his death.
