text of Ambrose include a longer text, Exp.ev.sec.Luc. II, 40-54 (CCSL
14, 48.550-54.742: Breuiter sanctus Lucas ... exemplum edidit - see,
for example, Cividale MS. LXII, 24v-26v; Milan, Biblioteca Nazionale
Braidense, MS. Gerli 4, 31v-33r; Rome, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale,
Fondo Sessoriano MS. 31, lr-2v). Versions of the twelfth-century
Carthusian homiliary (e.g. Grenoble, Bibliothéque municipale, MS. 33
[102], see Étaix 1962, 82, 2h; rpt 1994, 74) also substitute the longer
extract from Ambrose for the homily by Bede cited in PD I, 25. At any
rate, the inclusion of the text by Ambrose indicates that the Amamag-
naean fragments derive not from a version of PD, but from a homiliary
of another type, which nevertheless included material from Paul the
Deacon’s Homiliary.
The last leaf, 3r-v, contains a text of Maximus of Turin, Serm. 67
(Superiori anno sanctae quadragensimae [sic] rationem ...) which is
not found among the homilies for Lent in any version of PD. (The text
of Acc. 7c, Hs. 94, 3ra-3vb corresponds to Maximus, Serm. 67.3-4,
CCSL 23, 281.47-282.83: “... suam reuertitur; hic in po|sterum
reuocatws homo ... om<nis eius spirit)uali(ter) amari-||[tudo...]”). This
sermon is included (with the incipit: Sanctae quadragesimae rationem
...) in several twelfth-century collections, either as the selection for the
first Sunday in Lent, as in, for instance, the very popular homiliary
Sancti Catholici Patres (see Bouhot 1975, 159, nr. 99; 1978, 144, nr.
19), or versions of the Carthusian lectionary, from the end of the twelfth
century (Étaix 1977, 282, nr. 13; rpt 1994, 115), or in many twelfth-cen-
tury Italian homiliaries, either under the same date (see, for example,
Florence, Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Pluteus XIV, cod. 1, 106v-
107; Oxford, Bodleian, MS. Canonici Liturg. 391, 197v-198; Turin,
Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria, MS. F 15, 133r-136v; London,
British Library, MS. Harley 7183, 170v-171), or under the Monday of
the first week in Lent (Feria II. ebd. in quadr.; see, for example: Venice,
Biblioteca Marciana, Z.L. CLIII, 158r-v; Vatican, Vat. lat. 1268, 36-37;
Vatican, Vat. lat. 1276, 150-151).
The Carthusian parallels would suggest an influence from that tradi-
tion, were it not for the faet that PD I, 15 (Ps. Origen, Horn. I in Matt.
1:18-25), the text of Acc 7c, Hs. 94, Ira-Iva, is not included in the
Carthusian homiliary (see Étaix 1962, 81; rpt 1994, 73). It is interesting
that two twelfth-century homiliaries, Paris, Bibliothéque Nationale Lat.
1765, and Paris, Bibliothéque Mazarine 400, contain both the texts pre-
