Sermo Beati Augwstini Episcopi de Natale DomiNi 
Lectio vi 
“Vos, inquam, conuenio, o Iudei, qui usqwe in hodiernum diem negatis 
Filium Dei. Nonne uox uesfra est ilia quando eum uidebatis miracula 
facientem atq ue temptantes dicebatis: Quousqwe animas nostras sus- 
pendis? Si tu es Xpisiws, die nobis palam. Ille autem uos ad cowsidera- 
tionem mittebat miraculorum, dicens: Opera que ego facio ipsa testi¬ 
monium perhibent de me; ut Xpisio testimonium dicerent now verba, secZ 
facta. Vos autem no n agnoscentes Saluatorem qwi operabatwr salutem 
in medio uesire terre, adicientes in malo aistis: Tu de te ipso testi¬ 
monium dicis; testimonium tuum now est uerum. Sed ad hec ille quid 
uobis respowderit, aduertere noluistis. Nowne scriptum est in lege uestra 
qwod duorwm hominum testimonium uerum sit? Preuaricatores legis, 
intendite legem. Testimonium queritis de XpisZo: in lege uestra scriptum 
est qwod duorwm hominum testimonium uerum sit. Procedant ex lege now 
tantum duo sect eciam plures testes Xpisti, et cowuincant auditores legis, 
now factores. * 2 
Die, Ysaya, 3 testimonium Xptsto. Ecce, inquit, 4 uirgo in utero con- 
cipiet et pariet filium, et uocabitwr nomew eiws Hemanuhel, qwod est 
interpretatum: Nobiscum Dews. 5 
Accedat et alius testis. 5 
Die et tu, Iheremia, 6 testimonium Xpisfo. Hie est, inqwit, Dews noster, 
et now <fol. 129 v > estimabitur alius absqwe illo qui inuenit omnem uiam 
scientie et dedit earn Iacop puero suo et 7 Israel dilecto suo. Post hec in 
terris uisus est, et cum hominibws cowuersatws est. 8 Ecce duo testes 
idonei ex lege uestra ad quorwm testimonia non suwt compuncta corda 
uestra. Sect alii atqwe alii ex lege testes Xpisti introducantur, ut frontes 
durissime inimicorwm conterantwr. 9 
all of which are before me as I write. In my foot-notes I indicate the marginal 
entries and unusual rubrications in Mss. Vat. Regin. 125 and Canonici Liturg. 
391. The headings of the texts are as follows: in Ms. 391, Sermo Beati Augustini 
Episcopi; in Ms. 125, Sermo Beati Augustini Episcopi de Natale Domini; in Ms. 
16919, none. These three manuscripts are not mentioned by Sepet. The manu¬ 
scripts containing the sermo under discussion must be numerous. 
2 Followed by a vertical line indicating separation or paragraph division 
(Ms. 1018). 
3 Ysaya] In the right margin, opposite the line in which the name occurs, is 
written the rubric: Ysayas (Mss. 1018 and 391). All the marginal entries in 
Ms. 391 seem to me to be of the 15th century. In the left margin, a later hand 
has written: i prophetia (Ms. 125). 
4 Ecce inquit . . . nobiscum Deus] Encircled by red lines, with marginal 
numeral: i (Ms. 125). 
5 Followed by a paragraph sign (Ms. 1018). 
6 Iheremia] Opposite this name in the margin: Iheremias (Ms. 1018); 
Ieremias (Ms. 391). 
7 dedit earn Jacop puero suo et] Written in the margin by a later hand 
(Ms. 1018). 
8 Hie est inquit . . . conuersatus est] encircled by red lines, with marginal 
numeral: ii (Ms. 125). 
9 Followed by a paragraph sign (Ms. 1018).
