Abstract

392. Oxford, Bodleian Library Lat. Misc. a. 3, f. 49

(with 274 BL Harley 3376 and 155 Lawrence, Kansas, Kenneth Spencer Research Library Pryce MS P2A: 1)

Fragment of an Alphabetical Glossary

(Ker 240, Gneuss 436)

HISTORY: One leaf from the Latin Glossary in Harley 3376 included in a volume of over 100 fragments (10c-16c) from the collections of Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792-1872), presumably one of two leaves from Harley 3376 in the Libri sale of 28 March 1859, lot 1118, along with the leaf now in Lawrence, Kansas, Pryce MS P2A:1 [155]. Acquired by the Bodleian by purchase in 1953 from Philip and Lionel Robinson. Joscelyn did not underline and count the OE glosses on this leaf, indicating that it was separated from Harley 3376 before his time. Bodleian has flesh recto and Kansas has hair recto, so they could have been conjugate: if so, probably they would have been inner leaves of the quire, probably 3 (Oxford) and 6 (Kansas).
