Royal MS 2 D XXIV

GOSPELS OF S. MARK AND S. MATTHEW, in Latin, of S. Jerome's version, with a marginal and interlinear gloss. With the usual prefaces 'Marcus evangelista dei' (f. 4) and 'Matheus ex Iudea' (f. 62). The Ammonian sections are indicated in the margins through. out, with the corresponding sections in the other Gospels; and the Eusebian canons are given between the Gospels (ff. 60, 61), which probably indicates that S. Matthew's Gospel, preceded by the canons, originally stood first. The gloss, which is very full, is mainly taken from Jerome and Bede for S. Mark, and from these authors, together with Augustine, Ambrose, and Rabanus Maurus, for S. Matthew. Vellum; ff. 139. 9.1/4 in. x 63 in. XIII cent. Gatherings of 8 leaves. Sec. fol. 'Ecce ego'. A few theological notes have been scribbled with a plummet on the fly-leaves (ff. 2 b, 3, 139). Belonged to the Friars Minor of Canterbury (f. 1, 'De communitate fratrum minorum Cantuarie, D. 23'). Cf. 3 D. ii, and New Palaeogr. Soc. Facsimilies, pt. i, 1903, p1. 17, no. 3. Cat. of 1666, f. 3b; CMA. 7744.
