Note in OE on division

Date: s. xi/xii

Summary:

Ker describes the note, on fol. 60v, as ‘derived from Byrhtferth’s handbook’ and written into what was a blank space of a manuscript of s. xi1 (fols 49-60) and s. xi/xii (fols 61-72), in ‘a small hand generally like that of [the main Latin text on fols] 61-72’ (1957, p. 39). Ker reports Armitage Robinson’s attribution of the calendar on fols 50-55 to Glastonbury (1957, p. 39).
