‘Þe prologe of luk’ (f. 1). Ends imperfectly (last two words recovered from catchword). Commentary in English on St Luke's Gospel (longer version), ending at Luke 24:49. Commentary on the Four Gospels (also known as the Wycliffite Glossed Gospels). Wells Rev. 2:545 [38]. See Hargreaves and Hudson, Premature pp. 247–64. Not listed by Lindberg, ‘Manuscripts’.

Other texts: Hudson, Premature p. 249 fns 110–16 lists nine MSS (one of which is only a fragment) which contain various ‘shorter’ or ‘longer’ versions of the Glossed Gospels; this version of St Luke's Gospel is apparently unique. The shorter version of the commentary on Luke is found in BodL Bodley 143, ff. 1–222 and Bodley 243, ff. 1–114v. See also the discussion in IMEP 6 indexing YM XVI.D.2 [1]. For other MSS already indexed see IMEP 11 indexing Camb. Trinity Col B.1.38 [1–3]; IMEP 16 indexing BodL Laud misc. 235 [1–3]; and IMEP 18 indexing Camb. Fitzwilliam McClean 133 [1–3]. For extracts see Ff.6.31 [6–9] and Ii.6.26 [10] and Ii.6.55 [7].

Inscription: ‘Thomas Earle’ (f. i recto).
