Description

  • Summary: CCCC MS 419 is an important collection of Old English homilies, many by Wulfstan of York (d. 1023). It was written in the first half of the eleventh century. Pp. 1-2 of CCCC MS 421 were originally physically part of this manuscript, and the original part of CCCC MS 421 was a companion volume to CCCC MS 419, partly written by the same scribe. The manuscripts were together at Exeter in the time of Bishop Leofric (1050-1072), where additions were made to CCCC MS 421. This manuscript was Parker's seventh volume of homilies in his numeration system. He added a frontispiece miniature of the Entry into Jerusalem taken from the same French thirteenth-century psalter as the images which he added to CCCC MS 452 and London, Lambeth Palace Library MS 1370 (The MacDurnan Gospels).
