Abstract

Most of us who work with manuscripts are generally agreed that the bulk of codicological remains of Medieval Western Europe has been identified and catalogued (at least in one form or another), but we are none of us unaware that an occasional unknown codex or lost manuscript does indeed still turn up. We usually expect this to occur in provincial European libraries, or obscure monastic houses, or perhaps private collections. But recently a 15-century Latin manuscript of the Lectura or complementary of Niccolò de Tudeschis on the Decretales of Gregory IX has been discovered in a previously sealed-off portion of the basement in the old unused Carnegie Library in Tyler, Texas.
