Summary
The beginning of the Gospel of John in a copy of John Wycliffe's translation of the Bible. This copy was made in the late 14th century and was pocket sized, probably for the use of a wandering preacher, perhaps a Lollard. The edition contained only segments of the New Testament. This copy eventually worked its way to Wycliffe biographer John Lewis (1675-1747).
The gospel begins at the large, decorated "I" and reads: ‘In þe bigynnyng was/þe word & þe word/was at god/& god was/þe word/þis was in þe bi/gynnynge at god/alle þingis/weren maad bi hym, & wiþ[outen]’
Folio 2v of MS Hunter 191 (T.8.21)
