Lost Manuscript
Babel MS 3
Presently, two small fragments of this manuscript are known. It appears that together they form the lower left corner of a folio, and suggest that the manuscript was formed of thin columns of Biblical text, with both marginal and interlinear glossing. The glosses appear to be the glossa ordinaria augmented with fuller quotations from Augustine and Bede.
