Prologue, Paragraph 2
Alle. The first word of the Prologue and of each chapter in F begins with a rubricated initial letter, in blue ink with red flourishes. B features more elaborate rubrication on its first page for the Prologue and Chapter 1, with gilded initial letters and red and blue illuminations around the borders of the text but afterward uses a more basic rubrication similar to F, with initial letters in blue and red.back to note source

M.CCCC. F: M.CCC, followed by an erasure; the intended date is apparently 1408. Elizabeth Solopova writes, “The date on fol. 385r may have been altered to avoid censorship, but, according to Watson (1984), examination under UV light suggests that the scribe first wrote ‘M.ccc’ and the ‘and’ symbol, erased the latter, wrote it in the right place, and then forgot to insert the fourth ‘c’” (Solopova, Manuscripts of the Wycliffite Bible, p. 146).back to note source
