CCCC MS 23 Compares the design and construction of Cotton Claudius MS B.iv with CCCC MS 23 and the Harley Psalter (BL, Harley 603). All three illustrated MSS were produced in Canterbury in the late 10thc or early 11thc, 67-74, 83
CCCC MS 201 Discusses the OE accounts of the OT patriarch Joseph as preserved on pp. 151-160 of CCCC MS 201 and in BL, Cotton Otho B.x and characterises them as neither saint’s life, homily or history, 229-234, 261-264
CCCC MS 389 Notes Budny’s identification of the same artist’s hand in BL MSS Cotton Claudius B.iv, Cotton Tiberius A.iii, Royal 1.E.vi and CCCC MS 389. Although the Corpus MS has solid connections with St Augustine’s, Canterbury, Tiberius A.iii is attributed to Christ Church Canterbury , 76-83
