Origin: England (? Worcester Cathedral Priory): in a note on the copy of the Old English translation of Bede's Historia Ecclesiastica, Robert Talbot claimed his copy of the Old English Bede (possibly Cambridge, University Library MS Kk.3.18) also ended with a line of runes (f. 11v; see Graham, 'Robert Talbot's', p. 306). Cambridge, University Library MS Kk.3.18 has been associated with Worcester.
