matized : on which see Dean Armitage Robinson’s Times of
St Dunstan, pp. 55-59.
As Dr Savage, Dean of Lichfield, has pointed out, it is in verse,
running thus:
MaeielbrfSus Macdurnani
istum textum per triquadrum {sc. mundum)
deo digne dogmatizat
Ast *Aethelstanus Anglo Saexna
Rex et Rector Dorvernensi
Metropoli dat per aevum
*Ast is outside the rhythm.
Text of Matt, continued : XPI autem generatio ... 5
ff. 6g, 70 charters, as above.
Text of Mark ......... 72
ff. 114, 115 charters.
Text of Luke . . . . . . . . . 117
Text of John . . . . . . . . . 172
There are no prologues, but the Ammonian sections are in the
margin.
I do not think the MS. has been used for textual purposes.
The decoration, which is most minutely described by Dr
Millar, consists of:
f. 1 b. Cruciform page, frontispiece to St Matthew.
f. 2. Initial etc. to Liber generationis (i. 1).
f. \b. Frontispiece to Christi autem generatio (i. 17): full-
page picture of St Matthew with crosier and book.
f. 5 a. Christi autem generatio sic erat: elaborate border and
opening words in capitals.
f. 70 «. Full-page picture of St Mark seated, with book : his
symbol, looking more like an ox than a lion, projects from
the upper border.
f. 72. Beginning of the Gospel : border and initial.
f. 115 b. Full page picture of St Luke with small crosier.
,, 117 a. Beginning of the Gospel, as before.
f. 170 b. Full-page picture of St John with pen and book.
f. 172. Beginning of the Gospel, as before.
On four leaves added (by Parker?) at the beginnings of the
Gospels are four miniatures of French execution of about
1250, of moderate work, viz. :
f. 4. The Crucifixion.
f. 70. The Scourging.
f. 116. The Betrayal.
f. 171. The Entombment.
Perhaps from a Psalter. I think the insertions may be Parker’s,
because in MS. C.C.C.C. 419, of Anglo-Saxon Homilies, he
has added as a frontispiece a xiiith-cent. miniature of the
Entry into Jerusalem, and has also prefixed a woodcut to
MS. 162 from a Missal.
