Notes: Richard Hodges and Stowe Manuscript 15

Abstract

This note is intended to explain the relationship between Stowe Manuscript 15 and Richard Hodges, whose name appears on folio 12v with the date 1545. The manuscript is a small volume of ninety-two vellum folios containing diverse subjects dating from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries. It was originally begun as a twelfth-century Latin copy of the four gospels and this occupies the majority of the text (fols. 26-84).
