Type: Manuscripts(Opens in new tab)
Date: [between 1240 and 1260]
Call number: mssHM 26061
Provenance: The votive mass on f. 182v, "pro fratribus congregationis," with its invocation of the Virgin and Michael Archangel, may point to an origin in a house of canons regular dedicated to them. The presence of the indexing symbols suggests that the bible belonged at an early date to a Franciscan or to a cleric who had been to Oxford, since these symbols were employed primarily at Grey Friars, Oxford. The heading for the added fifteenth century Epistle and Gospel readings identifies that portion as Sarum use; readings for the feast of the relics of Salisbury cathedral are given on f. 17v.
