Description | Fragment from the Epistles of St Augustine, parchment. This is a long strip that has been cut from a folio-sized leaf, there is approximately half a column of text plus the edge of another column. Main body text is a Caroline minuscule in brown, originally in two columns, and appears to be in at least two hands. The text is from Epistle cxciv, Augustine's letter to the Roman priest Sixtus, who was later Pope Sixtus III. Much of the text is missing, but the visible portion begins "adi[ecit in Christo Jesu domino nostro tanquam diceret audito quod] stipendium p[eccati sit mors quid te disponis extollere O humana] non iusticia sed no[mine iustitiae plane superbia quid te disponis] extollere et contrariam mo[rti vitam aeternam tanquam debitum stipendium] flagitare? Cuidebetur...". |
