	Our Bible & the Ancient Manuscripts: Ch X- The English Manuscript Bibles
		Few, if any, of the ordinary English inhabitants would be able to read; but the monks and priests who preached to them would interpret the Bible to them in their own tongue, and their task would be rendered easier by the existence of written English Gospels.
		The manuscript, which was written in the early part of the twelfth century, has an interest of its own, even apart from its contents; and its history is partly told by the inscriptions which it bears on its first page, here reproduced.
		In the reigns of John and Henry III the intermixture between Norman and English was progressing fast, and the English element was beginning to assert its predominance in the combination.

	Details of an item from the British Library Catalogue of Illuminated Manuscripts
		Morgan 1982 dates the manuscript to between 1230 and 1240, but it is likely to be later because the chapters start on new lines with the chapter numbers inset into the text area: this feature was not common in English Bibles before c.1240.
		The large decorative extensions in the lower margins are of a type which are found in English manuscripts from about the 1230s.

		All three manuscripts, it should be noted, have parallel Latin versions (in the case of F, on a facing page; the Latin of G is an interlinear).
		The manuscript is divided into sense lines of sorts, for purposes of parallelism, but as the lines are generally no more than fifteen letters long (often consisting of a single word!), they rarely form any real sort of syntactic unit.

		It is wise to be hesitant in identifying this quotation with the Apocalypse of Elijah since it is not found in the Coptic or Hebrew texts, and because there were other compositions pseudonymously attributed to Elijah, although some are now lost.
