POE Lectura Sententiarum - de matrimoniis: (Petrus Lombardus, Liber sententiarum, book 4) .

William Hay was subprincipal of King's College at Aberdeen and lectured there. His lectures were meant to supplement the commentary which Marsilius of Inghen had written on the Book of Sentences of Petrus Lombardus. Marsilius had taught at Paris, and later at Heidelberg where he died in 1396. The fourth book of Petrus Lombardus deals with the seven sacraments. The present manuscript only deals with the last three: Extreme Unction (fol. 1ra-5rb), Holy Order (fol. 6ra-44rb), and Matrimony (fol. 44va-122rb). The part on matrimony was edited and translated by Monsignor John C. Barry, {i}William Hay's lectures on marriage{/i}, Edinburgh 1967 (The Stair Society, vol. 24).

Very neat handwriting, obviously written with leisure, not in haste during lectures. Careful ornamental capital letters at the beginning of new items. A note on fol. 122r explains that the scribe was not a student, taking notes, but rather a paid professional scribe, writing this volume for public use

Rubric: Hoc collectaneum est in supplimentum preclarissimi doctoris Marcilii Inguen in quartum Sententiarum quoad tria sacramenta, videlicet extrimae unctionis, ordinis, et matrimonii, ex variis authoribus collectum per magistrum Villelmum Haye, primum subprimarium regalis collegii Aberdonensis, rogatu nobilis et egregii viri magistri David Dischenton cantoris ecclesiae cathedralis, eiusdemque universitatis rectoris dignissimi, cum absolutum fuerat hoc opus, regnanti illustrissimo Jacobo quinto ex utroque rege Albanie prognato

Incipit:

• Cum magister sentenciarum in vigesima tercia distinctione quarti determinat de sacramento extreme unctionis, ideo queritur an sacramentum extreme unctionis sit sacramentum nove legis a Christo institutum

Explicit:

• Idolatria heresis etiam odium Dei sunt longe maiora peccata. Sic patet solutio ad has rationes, et per consequens ad totum dubium. Finis.
