Petri Blesensis Bathoniensis Archidiaconi Opera Omnia, Vol. 4: Nunc Primum in Anglia Ope Codicum Manuscriptorum Editionumque Optimarum; Sermones, &C (Classic Reprint) (Latin Edition)
Description:Excerpt from Petri Blesensis Bathoniensis Archidiaconi Opera Omnia, Vol. 4: Nunc Primum in Anglia Ope Codicum Manuscriptorum Editionumque Optimarum; Sermones, &C The Sermons of Peter of Blois are, like all similar compositions, of unequal merit, but some of them shew such power of writing as justly to entitle their author to the epithet Divinissz'mus, which has been applied to him by the celebrated Scholar - Barthius. It is also important to bear in mind that these Homilies have hitherto laboured under disadvantages which have considerably tended to obscure their merits. In the first edition of the Works of Peter of Blois, several Sermons were published under his name which were afterwards discovered to be the compositions of another Peter, hardly less famous as a writer than our author. This error however was duly corrected, and in the folio edition of Petri Blesensis Opera, published at Paris by Goussainville, appear sixty-five Sermons, which are of undoubted authority. But there are still some important defects uncorrected in that ably edited Work: for instance, three of the Homilies were so blended together, that it was next to impossible without the aid of better manuscripts to reunite the dispersed portions. This however has now been done, by the assistance of two mss. Of these Homilies, preserved in the British Museum, which have been compared with the printed edition, and have furnished severa] corrections of the text. They have not however been collated through out, because the text of some of the Homilies in Goussainville's edition is very correct, and seemed not to require further attention. Moreover, those manuscripts do not contain nearly all the sixty-five Homilies, and I have not been able to find any 0ther ms. Either in England or in the continental libraries which I have visited.
