Ps.-Autpert Ambrose
A leaf from Sermo De Assumptione Sanctae Mariae, manuscript on vellum [Italy, 12th century].
A sermon on the Assumption of the Virgin Mary variously attributed to Autpert Ambrose, Augustine, Jerome and others, written in a distinctive 12th-century Caroline hand.

c.358×220mm. 2 columns of 43 lines, in a distinctive Caroline minuscule hand with influence of Beneventan, marked by some broken minims (i.e. 'u' and 'i') and the distinctive 'ri' ligature; text comprising a sermon for the assumption of the virgin Mary, Sermo De Assumptionis Beatae Mariae (‘De terris ad celeste […] que sumus ad D[eu]m’); Patrologia Latina, vol. 39, 2130-2134 (small tear in bottom right corner).

Provenance:
(1) Perhaps Domenico Manni (1690-1788), Florentine antiquary.
(2) Colker MS 415; acquired in 1989 from Quaritch.

The text is part of an anonymous collection of sermons entitled Sermones suppositii de Sanctis. A large number of Italian and French witnesses attribute this sermon to the Frankish Benedictine monk Autpert Ambrose, but it has also variously been attributed to Augustine, Jerome, Ambrose of Milan, Alcuin and Odo of Cluny. The earliest witnesses date to the 9th century (Reims, BM 1395 and Würzburg, Universitätsbibl. M.P.Th. f. 38).
