A breefe of ye Bible
Manuscripts
Two manuscripts with four leaves. The first manuscript, in English, includes notes, commentaries and Biblical references; the second manuscript, in Latin, deals with calendars and months of the year. These leaves were originally laid into Biblica Sacra (1592), though the original note of transfer states: "These four leaves (two of which seem to be in one hand, two in another)...apparently have no particular connection with the book itself."
