that these works by Caesarius had been copied into the manuscript from another
manuscript that also included them in this order. In order to gain more insight into the
inclusion of the works for dedicated women by Caesarius, we must now turn to examine
the other manuscript in which the same texts are found: Toulouse, Bibl. Munic., ms. 162.
ii) Toulouse, Bibl. Munic., ms. 162
Toulouse, Bibl. Munic., ms. 162 is a composite manuscript of which the vast
majority of texts are spiritual. An ex-libris in a later hand on f.1 states that the manuscript
belonged to the Augustinian convent in Toulouse. It was removed from the convent
during the Revolution and ultimately became the property of the Bibliothèque
Municipale. 86 The manuscript is composed of two distinct sections. The first part is a
collection of twenty-four items copied by a number of twelfth-century hands; the second
part is Albert the Great’s Postilla in evangelium S. Joannis, copied in the thirteenth
century. 87 The first part of the manuscript is composed of ten quires of eight folios and
one of six folios. The leaves have modern pagination. Folios 1-2v and 80-215v are in two
columns; folios 3-79v are in long lines. The complete list of contents is as follows (titles
are taken from the Bibliothèque Municipale’s own catalogue unless otherwise indicated):
ff. 1-2v Jerome[tr.] Adhortationes sanctorum patrum
Egyptiorum ad profectum monachorum [PL.
20, col. 1181]
ff. 2v-53v Jerome[tr.] Sententiae seniorum [PL. 73, col. 855]
ff. 53v-56 Nilus De VIIIo viciis principalibus [PG. 79, cols.
1145-1164]
f. 56 Gualo Cambrensis Poem against simony 88
