| Description | 4 leaves of vellum, with double columns of twenty-seven lines on each page, with glosses in all the margins.
The writing is in small minuscules of an Italian character, and appears to belong to the late fourteenth century. There are ornamental initial letters in red, blue and gold.
Note by Professor Neil Ker (1908-1982), scholar of Anglo-Saxon literature, author of 'Medieval manuscripts in British Libraries': Liber sextus decretalium, with gloss, 14th cent.
Professor Ker also noted 'It looks rather as if all this bundle of binding fragments [JC/14/28-35], which came from the wrappers of the late 16th century, are archidiconal records of Lincoln Cathedral. At least that is certainly the origin of JC/14/28 (Wills proved in the Archdeaconry of Stowe) and JC/14/31 was also the wrapper of a volume of wills proved. JC/14/29 bears a date 1596. |
