Description: | This is a remarkably elaborate inscription. It states that Lord John Beaver, monk of St. Albans, had the manuscript made, and that with the permission of John Whethamstede, the abbot (1420-1440), he has given it to God, the Virgin Mary, and the church of St. Alban. This is followed by an anathema and a list of the contents.
Iohannes (i.e. John) Beaver's initials, 'IB' are in gold within the illuminated initial 'H' at the start of the inscription. | 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 |
