Object Description

Form

Form: Codex

Support: Mixed. Parchment is yellowy and waxy on hairside, and very flexible. Fol. i is a Parkerian flyleaf taken from an account roll, s. xv. Fols 196-97 were originally blank leaves of another larger manuscript: traces of writing are still visible on narrow strips of the leaves formerly conjugate with them, which have been preserved to attach them together.

Extent:

c. 271 mm x 187 mm (dimensions of all - size of leaves)

c. 215 mm x 135-107 mm (dimensions of all - size of written space)

Foliation/Pagination: Fols v + 395 + iv. The first three and last four leaves are modern flyleaves of the date of binding and are not numbered. The other leaves are foliated i-iii, 1-394.

Collation:

Quires: Collation of fols ii, 1-394: 1-188 (fols iii, 1-143), 196 (fols 144-49), 2010 (fols 150-59), 21-248 (fols 160-91), 2510 (fols 192-201), 26-308 (fols 202-41), 316
> + 1 leaf after 4 (fol. 246: wants 6 after fol. 247), 32-458 (fols 248-359), 468 wants 8, probably blank (fols 360-66), 478 (fols 367-74), 483 (fols 375-7), 498 (fols 378-85), 5010 wants 10 (fols 385-94). Condition Shows signs of significant use, judging by the dirt and softness of corners and margins. By fol. 367, condition of parchment is poorer, with original holes (fol. 367/2-6), and evidence of end-pieces being used (e.g., fol. 371). Layout Description Ruling is drypoint, often very deeply cut on more than one leaf at a time. Single bounding lines in Quires 4-10, 20, 28-31, 45 and in parts of other quires.

Hand Description

Hand

Number of Hands: 3 from the period 1060-1220

Summary: The oldest part of the manuscript is by four scribes, with contemporary additions by five or six scribes. The additions from s. xi2 are by three scribes. Ker 1957 notes that 'all three hands are poor' (p. 82). Spellings such as 'mon', 'beorend', 'weorod' and 'heafð' occur in these later additions only. The hand of fol. 321v with the note about 'Ulf' is also s. xi2.

Hand: homily

  • Scope: major
  • Scribe: Ker 48 SC9
  • Script: late eleventh-century
  • Description: fols 231v, 367-74v.
  • Summary of the characteristics of the hand: This is a very round hand using a straight-cut nib. There are few abbreviations, and legibility seems the key to this scribe's stint. Laterally somewhat compressed, the rotundity of the letter forms provides the sense of ampleness to the writing. Slight forward-leaning aspect.
    • a is very round with a curved tail to the right.
    • The e component of æ rises above the a component.
    • d is round-backed with a short upward stroke.
    • e is very rounded with an extended tongue in final position.
    • f has a crossbar flat on the line which transects the vertical very notably.
    • The tail of insular g begins in the middle of the headstroke, and the open tail is generous, curved and sweeping.
    • minims are even, with barely any serifs.
    • p has a very rounded bowl, and a short foot at the end of the descender.
    • s is long with a small onset stroke to the left. By fol. 367r, the head of long s is occasionally elaborately curved, particularly at line-ends.
    • ð has a long ascender at 60º or so, with a cross-stroke which only just transects the ascender and flicks down to the right.
    • y is straight-limbed with a long tail, and is consistently dotted in the middle.
    • ascenders have a slight wedge, which is higher on the right than the left.
    • descenders are straight and even.
    • accents are very steep.
  • Abbreviations:
    • Abbreviated æ has a long cross-stroke which curves up to the right.
  • Punctuation: punctus sits just above the ruled line.
  • Ligatures: st ligatures are avoided.
  • Litterae Notabiliores: The nota begins at minim height and descends below the line at 90º.

Hand: homily

  • Scope: major
  • Scribe: Ker 48 SC10
  • Script: late eleventh-century
  • Description: fols 322-27. At top left of upper margin of fol. 323v 'ae[eth]elric' is written in same script and same ink as Scribe 10. At fol. 323v in upper and left margins there are erased notes.
  • Summary of the characteristics of the hand: This scribe appears to be attempting to emulate the round hand of Scribe 9, but is a much less competent scribe: the even-ness of Scribe 9 is not apparent, and there is a shakiness to the duct of Scribe 10 that suggests slowness in the copying process, and a lack of proficiency. This is confirmed by scratchy letters and ink blotches (fol. 322r/18-19). Some angularity in letter forms such as d and ð.
    • d is round-backed with a low back which flicks up to the right.
    • f has a cross-stroke, flat on the line, piercing the stem.
    • s is consistently low, with one uncial form as capital, but by fol. 323r, long s with an elaborate rounded head is evinced.
    • ð has a cross-stroke to the right of the ascender only, curving down at the right, though by fol. 326r it pierces ascender.
    • Straight-limbed, dotted y has a distinctive flick to the right by fol. 323r.
    • Square capital N sometimes occurs in final position, sometimes elaborate to fill space.
    • The square form of capital H is notable.
    • ascenders have slight tags to the left.
    • descenders are relatively short and occasionally curve slightly to the left or have flat feet extending across the bottom.
  • Abbreviations:
    • The ˥ is large and at 90º. It sits on the line, above minim height.
    • The abbreviated þ for 'þæt' has a macron only from the ascender and finishes with flick up to the left.
  • Punctuation:
    • punctus on the line. punctus versus and punctus interrogativus are used.
    • Low, flat hyphen at line-end.
  • Ligatures: st ligature is avoided.
  • Correcting technique: Correction by erasure, by subpunctus and interlinear addition. Correction also by signe-de-renvoi (fol. 326v) comprised of backwards c plus bar plus c, with dot above and below bar.

Hand: homily

  • Scope: major
  • Scribe: Ker 48 SC11
  • Script: late eleventh-century
  • Description: fols 374v-77.
  • Summary of the characteristics of the hand: The rubric and initial S here are red, with red infill on some of the small capitals on that folio. If this is another scribe (and not the same as Scribe 9, which seems very likely), there is a round duct, and a mostly upright aspect. Once again, the writing is slightly compressed laterally, but the bodies of the letters are abundantly rounded. There are few abbreviations, and legibility seems the critical feature.
    • a is very round with a curved tail to the right.
    • The e component of æ rises above the a component.
    • d is round-backed with an short-ish upward stroke.
    • e is very rounded with an extended tongue in final position.
    • f has a crossbar flat on the line which transects the vertical very notably.
    • The tail of insular g begins in the middle of the headstroke, and the open tail is curved and usually closed.
    • minims are even, with small feet to the right.
    • p has a very rounded bowl, and a short foot at the end of the descender.
    • Long and low s, with a slightly hooked shoulder.
    • ð has a long ascender at 60º or so, with a cross-stroke which only extends from the right of the ascender; the cross-stroke flicks down to the right.
    • y is straight-limbed with a long tail, and is consistently dotted in the middle.
    • ascenders are wedged.
    • descenders are straight and even.
    • accents are very steep.
  • Abbreviations:
    • Abbreviated þ has a long cross-stroke which curves up to the right.
  • Punctuation: The punctus sits just above the ruled line.
  • Ligatures:
    • st ligatures are avoided.
  • Litterae Notabiliores:
    • The nota begins at minim height and descends below the line at 90º.

Hand: additions

  • Scope: minor
  • Scribe: Tremulous Scribe
  • Script: English Vernacular Minuscule
  • Description: Numerous interventions, beginning with extensive additions to the original Table of Contents by the Tremulous Hand.
  • Date: xiii1
Decoration Description

Titles mainly in metallic red capitals. Initials are a metallic red, occasionally with some ornament, for example ball and crescent. Fol. 128v: One initial is green. Fol. iir: Image of four synoptic gospel writers and SS Peter and Paul. The book in the hand of the lower right character is open, and seems to depict an opening with an illustration on the verso (coloured in a purplish ink) with blue on verso. Other apostles hold closed books, with the left-most apostles holding books with covered hands (the hand in the lower left was originally uncovered and then a sleeve was drawn up over it).

Binding Description

Binding of s. xii. Ker (1957) notes that the previous binding (s. xvi) was presumably of dark skin as it is referred to as 'Liber niger' in CCCC 421, p. v and Cleopatra B. xiii, fol. 1v (p. 82).
