Excerpt from The Old English Version of the Enlarged Rule of Chrodegang Together With the Latin Original: An Old English Version of the Capitula Od Theodulf Together With the Latin Original, An Interlinear Old English Rendering of the Epitome of Benedict of AnianeFolio, ll-g-xgg in. Written in one hand throughout2 in the second quarter of the eleventh century. It consists Of 168 pages, the last page being blank. Between pp. 2 and 5 a leaf is missing, and a fresh leaf has been inserted by the binder on which there is a note in a Sixteenth-cen tury hand to the effect that the Latin headings are wanting down to cap. 31. On the fly-leaf is a note by Parker stating that the work was written in Latin by Theodore, Arch bishop of Canterbury, 3 and translated into English by zelfric. The first few leaves have been injured and paper has been pasted over the edges to mend them. The head ings of the Capitula are in red, sometimes in capitals, sometimes in small letters. The initials are in red, blue, and green. In my text I have modernized the punctuation and the use of capitals and small letters.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
