V. Account of an Ancient Manuscript of St. John's Gospel, by the Rev. John Milner, F.A.S. in a Letter to the Rev. John Brand, Secretary

Extract

I herewith send to you, for the inspection of the Society, a literary curiosity, namely a M.S. copy of St. John's Gospel, which is certainly between eleven and twelve hundred years old, and which is said to have been taken out of the tomb of St. Cuthbert, the celebrated patron-saint of Durham and Bishop of Lindisfarne.
