Title

"The Legend of the Cross", first half of the 11th century, Anglo-Saxon text with Latin glosses by the "tremulous Worcester hand".

Description

Found as binding reinforcement inside the upper cover of a copy of the 1636 edition of Barclay his Argenis (C34). This leaf is the only evidence for this early version of the Legend of the Cross apart from two narrow strips of vellum from the same manuscript now in the library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. Shown beside the manuscript leaf is the leather of the binding in which it was found, with some of the text in mirror image.
