Description:
Thirteenth-century composite manuscript containing super 'Missus est' (f 3-13v), ' Lamentatio St B super passione Xi' (f 16v-18), and 'Tractatus de revelatione facta Beato Bernardo a Beata Virgine super dolore quem sensit in passione filii sui' (Treatise on the holy revelation to the Blessed Bernard from the Blessed Virgin on the pain which she feels in the Passion of her Son) (f18-20)'. The small figure of Bernard is kneeling with his hands clasped in prayer before the larger Virgin who holds a crucifix with her left hand to which she points with her right hand. A simple crozier rests behind him. See also MA346 & MA347.
