| Title | Gospel of St Mark: Summaries of Chapters [Fragment] |
| Date | Late 7th century |
| Description | Fragment of a leaf, parchment, with text from the Capitula to the Gospel according to Mark. Main body text in brown in a single column in a uncial script, probably originating in France. With red rubrics (faded to orange). The text is mostly written in a scriptura continua, and the scribe uses the punctus placed in the middle of the line.
The text consists of summaries of Chapters I-IV on the recto and Chapters VIII-XII on the verso. The bottom of the fragment has been torn with the result that the end of part IV and most of VIII is missing. The text may originally have been in two columns, accounting for the missing section. |
