Two fragments of an important eleventh-century manuscript, missing for someyears, were recently rediscovered by the staof Gonville and Caius Collegelibrary. The manuscript is signicant both because of its attribution to the handof ‘Eadwig Basan’, a major figure in the history of eleventh-century Englishscript, and because it constitutes evidence for the use in late Anglo-Saxon Englandof a mass lectionary, a rare type of liturgical book. The fragments have now beenassigned the class-mark 734/782a, in order both to associate them with and distinguishthem from manuscript 734/782, a seventeenth-century paper catalogue of abequest of books to the college, in whose binding they were originally preserved.
