DCL MS. A.II.8 Canonical Epistles, Sapiential books, Apocalypse, Minor Prophets, with glosses
Held by: Durham Cathedral Library: Durham Cathedral Manuscripts

Glossed books of the Bible: Canonical Epistles, Sapiential books, Apocalypse, Minor Prophets; written in England or France early 13th century. A composite volume of six contemporary, matching parts: (A) f.6-91; (B) f.92-119; (C) f.120-141; (D) f.142-157; (E) f.158-225; (F) f.226-291; plus medieval flyleaves (f.4-5); plus raised pastedowns and fly- and endleaves (f.1-3 and 292-4) recycled from a different medieval book. The use of the last page of (E) to supplement the first page of (F) shows that these parts were joined in the early 13th century; and (A) to (F) plus f.4-5 had all been brought together by the second half of the 14th century at the latest (content list of that date on f.5v). That the recycled leaves were added at a later stage is indicated by the presence of two rust-ringed holes in f.4-6 (from metal fixtures on an earlier binding) which do not appear on f.1-3, and similarly by rust stains from fixtures plus impressions from board channels on f.290-291 that are not on f.292-4. Nevertheless, the stains and holes from different metal fixtures that are common to f.1-5 and to f.291-4 show that the recycled leaves were deployed for some time in at least one binding prior to the present one.
