I. WORCESTER FRAGMENTS

[[MS description from Notes volume:

"Worcester Cathedral Library, 174.... Its contents are ... (2) the scrap

here marked A; (3) the pieces B and C with five more fragments of the

same poem. A completes the page on which the glossary ends, and B is on

the verso of the leaf. The leaves have been slightly shorn at one side

and reduced at top and bottom, but probably to no great extent: the

conjectural complement, which is here printed within square brackets, is

for the most part fairly obvious, the more so as portions of the lost

letters often remain. The whole MS. is in the same large square hand,

but the pieces in verse, which are written continuously, like prose, are

less carefully executed. The handwriting is of the second half of the

twelfth century, perhaps about 1180 A.D. The Latin headings are not in

the MS."]]
