• Hereford United Kingdom Cathedral Library P.I.2

Written in an English scriptorium under Celtic influence, probably in a centre near the Welsh border. Two eleventh-century records in Anglo-Saxon vernacular added on foll. 134 and 135 refer to places in Herefordshire and two convents at Hereford. A Hereford library-mark saec. XV occurs on the last page.

Script is a late Insular majuscule of a somewhat curious type unlike the normal English or Irish; uncialD andR occur regularly, uncialS occasionally next to minuscules;a has a flat top; the first branch ofy bends to the right. Two Anglo-Saxon documents were entered in the blank spaces in the last two folios saec. XI. Lection crosses have been added passim, in the margin.
