Homeliae decem super extremam partem ezechielis (Homilies on the Final Part of the Book of Ezekiel)

This manuscript was produced in Tournai in the first half of the eleventh century and contains the texts of Gregory the Great’s Ten Homilies on Ezekiel, Radbod II’s Sermo de nativitate Mariae Virginis, and selected brief moral maxims and exhortations. A note on the first folio, “Liber Radbodi epi,” was likely written by Radbod II himself. Radbod II was elected Bishop of Noyon and Tournai in 1067–68 and died in 1098. The existence of two manuscripts of Radbod’s Sermo de nativitate has been noted, one in the Vatican and the other in the library of Saint-Martin at Tournai. Given that this exemplar once belonged to Radbod, our manuscript may be the Saint-Martin copy.
