The century after the Norman Conquest - this period is the
greatest in the history of English book production (12th)
- Canterbury, Exeten, Dunham
at the time of the Conquest each sheet was normally ruled
on the hair side to a hand print.
about 1170 each sheet was ruled to a pencil on both
sides after folding.
Norman scribes seldom used any punctuation other
than the point.
ENglish Scribes - tick + point (punctures elevatus)
now marks 7 and - (13 + early 13 C manuscripts)
imported from Normandy.
The English hand is perfectly upright.

Phillips Catalogue The text is the normal text of a 13th C. Bible, i.e. the modern
Vulgate to the addition of Eadres III [this is here called
the Apocalypse of Eadres, the modern Eadres II
being called Nehemia 2 this is here called Eadres II
(Eadres I is the modern Eadres I + II)] Acts follows
the Pauline Epistles as is usual.
Interpretations of Hebrew names begins A-z apprehendes

Most MSS of the N.T. written before the 13th C include a set of
10 tables that serve as a concordance for the naratives of the 4 Gospels
The syotem which is based on a comparative tabulation of
numbered sections of each Gospel was conceived by
Eusebus (c260-340)
The Dominican order participated actively in the revision
of the Vulgate, undertaking campaigns to correct the text
of the Bible in 1236, 48, + 56.
Anglo-Norman - it is very difficult to distinguish
between MSS from England + Northern France of
this period.
