Excerpt from The Benedictional of Archbishop RobertThe volume, which now bears the press~marlt Y 7, is in a modern binding of yellow leather, and contains 191 numbered leaves, measuring approximately 12} by 93 inches. So far as its original contents are concerned, the manuscript is a fine speci men of English writing and illumination the miniatures which remain are only three in number, but in each case the page facing the miniature is decorated with a border in gold and colour, and similar borders appear in two other places where there is now no miniature. In one of these places (between fol. 8 and fol. 9) there is an apparent break in the text, and here at any rate it seems likely that a leaf has been removed: in the other case (between fol. 27 and fol. 28) it does not appear that any part of the text has been lost.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
