- Abstract:
- This note established that an Old English confessional prayer in BL Vespasian D.xx is a close analogue to the Latin text in the Book of Cerne (Cambridge University Library MS L1.1.10). These two text and two other Old English prayers in BL MS Tiberius C.i and the Old English Handbook for the Use of a Confessor may have sprung from a common, Latin original. The second note considers the unique word "omo" in the Vespasian text; a comparison with lists of body parts in a number of analogue text, it is demonstrated the "omo" should be emended to "leomo" (‘limbs’).
