This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ...About sixty blank leaves follow. 83 (Crawford 93). S. GREGORII MORALIA IN IOB. Vellum, 420 x 300 mm, ff. 361, double columns of 47 lines. Cent. x (914, see below), in a good, clear, small Visigothic hand. Written in Spain by a scribe named Gomez.1 Massive modern binding, by Zaehnsdorf.

Collation. i-viii gone, except two fragments: /ix8-xix8 (8 canc.)/xx8-xxxiii8/xxxiv12( + 1)/xxxv8-lii8 liii (two). 1 Brit. Mus. MS. Add. 25600 from S.
