- Description
-
- This manuscript contains one of the best witnesses for the early
versions of the translation of the Wycliffite Bible. MS 145 is also
notable for its unusual page design. It has running titles for
biblical books written in alternating blue and red ink and split
across the opening. This is perfectly normal in copies of the Latin
Vulgate Bible, but very rare in the Wycliffite Bible corpus. As far
as we know, only one other such early version manuscript exists.
Other codices have running titles and are executed more informally.
As a consequence, MS 145 might represent a fairly rare evidence of
manuscript production of the Wycliffite Bible closely mimicking the
appearance of the Latin Bible.
