Summary:
This manuscript contains the gospel of Matthew together with the
Glossa ordinaria. The gospel, written in a larger size, occupies
the central column on each page, with the explanation of the verses
in the two outer columns (marginal glosses) and in between the
gospel text (interlinear glosses). Despite the carefully designed
mise-en-page, the manuscript is not entirely finished. A large
space, approximately half the height of the leaf has been left open
for the initial 'L' at the beginning of the gospel, and the space
for a smaller initial at the beginning of the glosses also remains
empty. The text is plain and monochrome. The manuscript dates from
the early thirteenth century, probably around the year 1210. It is
suggested that the codex has been written in England, a country Ter
Doest had close connections with. It was acquired by a Ter Doest
monk named Adam, who gifted it to his abbey's library. This bequest
was recorded on the final leaf. The cross-shaped stamp of Ten
Duinen is found on the second and last leaf. On the first leaf a
list has been added with the appropriate Sunday readings from the
gospel. The binding is modern calf. [Summary by Dr. Mark
