  • Résumé : CCCC MS 419 is an important collection of Old English homilies, many by Wulfstan of York (d. 1023). It was written in the first half of the eleventh century. Pp. 1-2 of CCCC MS 421 were originally physically part of this manuscript, and the original part of CCCC MS 421 was a companion volume to CCCC MS 419, partly written by the same scribe. The manuscripts were together at Exeter in the time of Bishop Leofric (1050-1072), where additions were made to CCCC MS 421. This manuscript was Parker's seventh volume of homilies in his numeration system. He added a frontispiece miniature of the Entry into Jerusalem taken from the same French thirteenth-century psalter as the images which he added to CCCC MS 452 and London, Lambeth Palace Library MS 1370 (The MacDurnan Gospels).

  • Research: It is MS. B in Napier's Wulfstan. Wanley, p. 132. It is a companion volume to no. 421, and has unfortunately been separated from it by Nasmith i.e. in his Catalogue. In Parker's numeration 421 preceded it.
  • Additions: The flyleaves at each (ff. ir-iiv, ff. ivr-vv) end have notes in Whelock's hand, and on f. iiv is a Parkerian title (Septimus liber) and list of contents. A frontispiece (f. iiir) of cent. xiii is prefixed. Frame of blue and pink with gold corners. Gold ground. The Entry into Jerusalem: Christ on white ass rides to R. followed by 3 apostles. On R. a tree and a gate; in each is a man. The work is very careful and delicate, but not very skilful.
