Leaf from a copy of a Homiliary with a text ascribed to Bede, in Latin, decorated manuscript on parchment [probably England, mid-fifteenth century] Two wide strips, each with approximately a column of text from the full height of a single leaf (and thus reuniting to reform that leaf), each column with 28 lines in a late gothic bookhand made with a wide nibbed pen, and using w in spelling of evangelist and similar, these containing parts of Bedes Homily I:2, red rubrics (one rubric Bed suggesting that his works were not the only ones in the parent manuscript), initials in red leafy fronds enclosed within soft green or turquoise-blue outlines, recovered from a binding and hence with scuffs, holes and concomitant damage, overall fair and presentable, together 206 by 164mm. From the library of Ampleforth Abbey, and de-accessioned by them some years ago.
