The Leicester Codex and its clues to origin and transmission

This scholarly work investigates where the Leicester Codex may have originated and how handwriting, watermarks, and patristic passages illuminate its history. It also looks at how these clues help place the manuscript within a broader family of related texts.

Readers will gain a clear view of the methods used to trace a manuscript’s origin, including the role of watermarks, quires, and handwriting. The study also surveys the non-Biblical portions and how patristic tracts contribute to understanding genealogical relationships among groups of manuscripts. The author compares Leicester Codex readings with other manuscript evidence and discusses how this evidence shapes ideas about transmission and provenance.
