Page, R. I.

Notes:

• CCCC MS 138 On Robert Recorde’s transcriptions of Old English texts in CCCC MS 138, concentrating on the Preface to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle which he copied from Cambridge, University Library, Kk. 3.18; edits this text from CCCC MS 138 and from Kk. 3. 18; examines others of Recorde’s annotation; suggests that Recorde used Talbot’s collection, pp. 75-9
• CCCC MS 162 & CCCC MS 178 When Parker transferred AElfric’s Interrogatio from CCCC MS 178 to CCCC MS 162 he mutilated the end of the Hexameron and the start of a homily, and he therefore had the lost text copied and added to CCCC MS 178. In this account Page investigates these early modern transcripts., pp. 79-82
• CCCC MS 173 & CCCC MS 383 CCCC MS 383 contains the "Genealogical Preface" found before the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in CCCC MS 173, p. 76
• One of only two of the six manuscripts of the "Genealogical Preface" which places it immediately before the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, p. 76
