<p>The Rosenbach, Free Library of Philadelphia, MS 484/21. France, 12th century. This manuscript is a copy of the four books of Dialogues of Pope Gregory I. Framed as dialogues between Gregory and his younger associate Peter, the dialogues present the miraculous works of sixth-century Italian monks, with the second book devoted to the life of Saint Benedict. Large simple initials in red mark the beginning of each of the four books (fols. 5r, 28v, 52v, 90v), and the text is written in Protogothic script by multiple hands.
