Notes

Scribe Edilberict, son of Berictfrid (f. 46r). Lowe: "The tur-symbol points to an English scriptorium, as do the vernacular glosses, but script and decoration point to Ireland."

25 Old Irish, 5 Old English glosses. See Psalter of Caimín (Dublin, UCD, Franciscan A 1, late 11th century), where most of the glosses correspond verbatim.
