Description: | Paul the Deacon (720-799) is known mainly for his writings as a historian, but he also composed a commentary on the Rule of St. Benedict, and this widely used collection of homilies. Although it was perhaps written and decorated in Normandy, this manuscript was at Glastonbury Abbey by the end of the Middle Ages.
A common sequence of colour alternation in Romanesque manuscripts is A, B, A, C: on this and other pages the initials alternate: blue, red, green, red. Later readers have underlined passages, drawn a pointing hand in the right margin, and made notes in the margins. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
