Gospel Book, folios 67v-68r

This small volume contains the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The book features additional content common to other gospel books of this era such as introductory matter, chapter lists and decorative canon tables indicating common passages between the four Gospels. The incipit page of the Gospel of Mark features an elaborate foliate initial, with the opening text decorated in sumptuous purple and gold. The manuscript was in the possession of the Fitz-Nigel family in the 16th century as evidenced by their heraldic shield on folio 67v.
