This manuscript fits in a category of “selfies,” that is, manuscripts copied by the owner for his or her own use, in this case by a member of the Order of Augustinian Hermits. It is a newly discovered manuscript of an influential text by one of the most important medieval philosophers, who was an Augustinian friar, like the copyist who signed and dated the work.  The long and carefully defined program of education of the Augustinian friars was intended to produce knowledgeable teachers and preachers, and study of this manuscript promises to elucidate that program and the role of student copyists in creating Augustinian libraries.
