gospel) of the Birth of Mary. In the earlier portion there are
somewhat extensive additions, chiefly in the way of dialogues
or speeches, which may be due to the compiler. In the
latter part, dealing with the Birth of Christ, a fourth and
unknown source is used, which is of early complexion. I
have tentively identified it with the Gospel of Peter. I
have transcribed the text for publication.” M.R.J.
0.3. x. Vellum : 8J x 6 : fl. 217 : Cent. xii.
Binding later but old. 26 or 27 lines to the page. A few
capital letters in blue and red. Corrections in the text are
perhaps in the author’s autograph.
On flyleaf :—

a canon of Cirencester, and left lands to it, this book
also may have belonged to the Abbey there.)

(8 cancelled), 198, 208, 218 (6 cancelled), 228—278.

breaks off in the middle of a sentence.)
Inc. (Prologus) Sanctissimus pontifex et papa
Gregorius vere venerandus.
Expl. Unde dixit fratribus suis Vos ascendite ad diem
festum hunc. Ego non ascendam quia tempus. . .

Old binding, but not the original. A composite book—at least
six entirely different hands, and collation most erratic.
