“ The text of edition of the Gospels in West-Saxon of which this volume is a part represents the copy of the Version that is preserved in MS. CXL of the Library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge; the rubrics have been carried into the text from MS. A. The variant readings of all the other surviving copies of the Version (MSS. A and B; MS. C is imperfect and lacks the entire Gospel of St. Matthew) are subjoined to the text. ”
