Kenyon College Leaf 07

This leaf contains text from Aurora, a 15,000-line Latin poem by Petrus de Riga which paraphrases and interprets some two dozen books of the Bible. Its oblong dimensions (24 x 11cm) make it easy to recognize, and Ege locates its origin as English in part due to this shape. It dates to the early 13th century, and is written in an early Gothic hand. See Denison University Leaf 07 for more information about this manuscript.

Text: "Evangelium," lines 2176-2218 (recto) and 2219-62 (verso).
