• New Haven, Conn. USA Yale University, Beinecke Library MS 516

Written in England at a Northumbrian centre. In the fourteenth century the fragment served as fly-leaf to a book which belonged to Reynerus de Capella, a monk of the Benedictine monastery at Soest (Westphalia); cf. his ex-libris on the verso. Acquired in 1972.

Script is a very careful, regular uncial of the type practiced in the Northumbrian monastery of Jarrow or Wearmouth: the bow of A is a thin shallow loop; R is generally open; horizontal finials and upper curves are fork-shaped. There are two additions to words at line-ends; the first, in Anglo-Saxon minuscule, is manifestly by an Insular scribe, the second in small uncial.
