Description
  • Glossed Gospels, written in France or England in the early 13th century, consisting of four broadly matching parts - one for each gospel - plus contemporary endleaves. An additional preliminary quire (f.1-4) was prefixed to the volume, presumably after the note of donation by Henry of Melsonby had been added to the original front-leaf, in the 13th century, but probably not long thereafter given that the principal scribes of the extra leaves, whose hands look to be early/mid 13th century, contributed copious supplementary glosses to the original pages; the preliminary quire had certainly been added by mid 14th century when a title for the content of the original core was written on its first page.
