| Date: | s. xiv–xv |
| Notes: | "Hic liber reppertus in Monasterio S. Albani 1537." (fol. 1r). On fol. 119r: "Incipit liber quem composuit venerabilis Beda presbiter de gestis Anglorum quem scribi fecit Willelmus de Writele ad utilitatem legencium cuius anime propicietur deus." "Willemus de Writele" has been crossed out and "Iohannes Bebset quondam prior de Hatffeld peuerel[" substituted. "I think that the note on fol. 3r, 'Hinc forte fit ut hodie etiam nunc vocetur britannice ynys y Kedyrn id est insula fortium' is in Sir John Prise's hand: so perhaps also the title on fol. 1r." (). |
