Item Info
Item No: mcai240041
Additional Title: Bible, glossed Epistles of Paul
Script:
Transitional script (praegothica)
Language: Latin
Folio Number: front 24:4
Source: Rare Book Department
Notes: Initial P
Notes: This initial begins Paul's letter to Timothy. Glossed books of the Bible, such as the manuscript from which this leaf and three others (Lewis E M 24:1-3) were taken, contained explanatory texts compiled from centuries of Biblical exegesis written alongside the Scripture. The complex layout of the page of a glossed Bible helped readers to distinguish between the main text and the gloss. The main text is written in large script in one column down the center of the page. The gloss is the smaller script written between the lines and in the two columns flanking the main text.
