Beinecke MS 528
Italy, s. X??
Passionary (fragment)

f. 1r	//prof**are veritatem et evacuare falsitatem. Letianus proconsul dixit: Iam depone hanc 
pertinaciam ... in loco qui dicitur petrosus et appellatur Colonia, ubi multa mirabilia operantur 
usque in presentem diem, regnante Domino nostro Ihesu //.

Passion of St. Terentianus, bishop of Todi (1 Sept.), BHL 8003; Acta sanctorum Sept. 1, pp. 113-
115.

Parchment, 1 folio cut in halves in the middle of the height, 510 x 240 mm.??

Hard-point ruling for two columns of 45 lines above top line. 420 x 220 mm., intercol. space 20 
mm.

Written in Beneventan script.

Red headings. Heightening of the majuscules in red and yellow. 5-line initials in same colours.

The fragments were used in a binding and are stained with paste. The outer edge is heavily 
trimmed and 8 rectangular cuttings have caused important text losses in the outer column. On the 
verso we see at the top, in the middle and at the bottom of the leaf the offset of texts written on 
a flyleaf?? of the binding from which the fragments were taken [to be read with a mirror]. In the 
inner margin of the same verso is an un deciphered nineteenth-century inscription. The fragments 
are taken from a printed book preserved in the Beinecke Library (Zi.+4428): Bonaventura, 
Commentarius in secundum librum sententiarum Petri Lombardi (Venice, 1477).
