Ælfric, Homily fragment

[Ker 352, Gneuss 670]

HISTORY: A binding strip written in a script of the first half of the l lc (Ker Cat., 429) was used in a copy of Erasmus, Lingua (Cologne, 1530) (see below). The binding is identified by Ker as mid-16c English work (1957: 430). The date when Brasenose College acquired the book is not known. In Ker's time the fragment was still in situ inside the front cover. It was removed in the course of a rebinding in approximately 1991 (according to Richard Laver, the Assistant Librarian), when the book was rebound by Period Binders, Lower Bristol Road, Twerton, Bath, BA2 9ES, as recorded on the envelope currently containing the fragment.
