Description: | Various kinds of evidence in this Breviary shows that it was made for Coldingham Priory, about 10 miles north of Berwick-on-Tweed, in Scotland, perhaps at Durham: the abbey was a cell of Durham Cathedral Priory. The manuscript was certainly owned by a monk of Durham in the 16th century.
The rubric at the top of the first column starts 'The Gospel reading [then a space] at Coldingham . . .'. The fact that he left a blank space suggests that the scribe was not sure what the correct Gospel reading was, for use at Coldingham, which suggests that he was working somewhere else, such as Durham. (The space in the second line of the rubric was filled in at a much later date.) | 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 |
