Scope and Content
This volume was once part of the medieval library of the Cistercian Monastery of Santa Maria de Alcobaça, Portugal. Founded by the first Portuguese king in 1153, the Alcobaça Monastery was one of the richest and most prestigious monasteries in medieval Europe. The Monastery library was one of the largest Portuguese medieval libraries, but was pillaged by the invading French in 1810, and many items were stolen in an anti-clerical riot in 1834, when the religious orders in Portugal were dissolved. The remnants of the monastery library, comprising 461 codices, are held today in the National Library of Portugal, Lisbon. In 1989 the Monastery was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
