Description: | Paschasius Radbertus (died c.860) was for about seven years abbot of the French abbey of Corbie, but he resigned this post because of a dispute, and this allowed him to devote more time to study and writing. His works included a biography and several commentaries on biblical texts, including the Old Testament book of Lamentations. This copy was owned by, and probably written at, the Benedictine abbey at Reading.
The main text begins with an initial 'S', in the same style as the initial of the prologue on the other side of the leaf, partially visible through the translucent parchment. | 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 |
