Gneuss, Addenda and corrigenda to the Handlist of Anglo-Saxon Manuscripts

The Old English Pastoral Care is followed (on 157v–158r) by two lines from Juvenal (Sat. III.49–50, printed in M. R. James’s Catalogue II, p. 192, but not identified) and an excerpt from a pseudo-Augustinian sermon, for which see J. Machielsen, Clavis Patristica Pseudepigraphorum Medii Aevi, I A (Turnhout, 1990), no. 1237, and II A (1994), no. 195. I owe these identifications to Carolin Schreiber; see her King Alfred’s Old English Translation of Pope Gregory the Great’s Regula pastoralis and its Cultural Context, Texte und Untersuchungen zur Englischen Philologie 25 (Frankfurt a.M., 2003), 59–60 and 455, with edition of the sermon excerpt.
