Manuscript: Faustina B. IX

[The text on this page is faded beyond legibility, probably because it was once the manuscript’s flyleaf (see the note to the contribution at the top of f. 37v, attributed to Scribal profile 76). However, the Andersons managed to make out some of it ‘with the aid of special photographs’ (it is not clear what these were, but the Andersons also note that the writing ‘responds little to ultra-violet light’). Here appears the Andersons’ text, exactly as presented in their edition: Andersons, The Chronicle of Melrose, p. lii.]
