Ohio University Leaf 01
Described by Ege as early 12th century Swiss, this leaf is from a New Testament with glosses by church fathers including Bede, Jerome, and Gregory. The primary script is Carolingian, with one of the glosses in a minuscule very similar to that in leaf 4. First developed under Charlemagne in the late 700s and early 800s, this style was revitalized by the English in the 11th century (Lovett 68). The gloss hands are different from both one another and from the Biblical text, and the Carolingian gloss hand has decorative brackets setting apart each section. See Denison University Leaf 01 for more information on this manuscript.
Text: 2 John 1:10 to 3 John 1:2 (recto) and 3 John 1:2-6 (verso). Glosses not yet identified.

[3 John 1:2-6]
...I make it my prayer that thou mayest proceed prosperously, and fare well as thy soul doth prosperously. 3 I was exceedingly glad when the brethren came and gave testimony to the truth in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. 4 I have no greater grace than this, to hear that my children walk in truth. 5 Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatever thou dost for the brethren, and that for strangers, 6 Who have given testimony to thy charity...
