Manuscript note: To judge from the script and plain ornament, the present manuscript was very probably made in a Cistercian house, doubtless in England. The combination of Pseudo-Cyprian’s De duodecim abusionibus saeculiwith works of Hugh of Fouilloi occurred in a manuscript recorded in the early thirteenth century at the Cistercian abbey of Flaxley, Gloucestershire (Bell 1992, p. 23, no. 49).
