Royal MS 2 E XI

MINOR PROPHETS AND JOB, in Latin, of S. Jerome's version; with a marginal gloss. Jerome's prologue to the Minor Prophets ('Non idem est ordo duodecim prophetarum') and the usual prologue to Hosea ('Temporibus Ozie et loache) are written as part of the main text, the other prologues as part of the gloss. Cf. 2 E. iv, above.. Late XIII cent. Gatherings of 12 leaves, with catchwords. In a hand very similar to that of 2 E. iv, and with flourishes in the lower margins very similar in design, though with slight differences in execution. The large initials are different in design and inferior in execution. Sec. fol. '-lis erat'. The volume was probably executed in the same place, viz. perhaps Christ Church, Canterbury. Subsequently belonged to Worcester Cathedral, as shown by an inscription on f. 210 b, 'Liber ecclesiae beatae Mariae Wigornensis, teste scriptore Guillielmo Thornhill Eboracensi, eiusdem ecclesiae prebendario octavo' [circ. 1586, cf. 2 D. xxvi, above]. From the Theyer library (cf. of 2 D. xxvi), sale-cat. no. 30; CMA. 6537.
