- Title:
- Fragments of canon tables
- Scope & Content:
-
This item consists of fragments of canon tables, apparently taken from a seventh- or eighth-century Gospel book, possibly made in Northumbria. The Greek letter 'pi' appears in a colophon. Due to the size of the manuscript fragments, it is possible that they come from the same volume as Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 197 and British Library, Cotton MS Otho C V (see Budny, 'Biblia' (1999), p. 278 n. 39).
Decoration: Titles and inscriptions in red.

- Custodial History:
-
Origin: ? Northumbria, 7th or 8th century: script and decoration are consistent with Northumbrian exemplars (see Lowe, Codices (1972), II, 28).
Provenance:
? The Benedictine abbey of Cerne, 11th century: seems to have been used as flyleaves for ff. 4-218, which were written in the south of England, possibly at Cerne, in the late tenth or early eleventh century. These may not, however, have been the original flyleaves: marks which Ker identified as wormholes on f. 4 do not appear on ff. 2-3 (see Ker, Catalogue (1957), p. 329).
