Description

Summary: CCCC MS 440 is a fifteenth-century Middle English translation of the gospels with a table of the gospels for Sundays. It is a copy of the later text of the Wycliffite Gospels and was dated to about 1430 by Forshall and Madden, but recently to c. 1420 on the basis of its ornamental decoration.
