Where is it

edit

The article states nothing about the current whereabouts of the manuscript. Does anyone know where it is located? Who owns it? If it can be seen by the public?Serpren (talk) 06:44, 1 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Date inconsistencies

edit

How can a ninth century manuscript describe things which happened in the tenth or eleventh centuries? If this is a mistake, it would be nice if somebody with knowledge of the subject was to correct it with the actual dates (assuming they are known or can at least be guessed at). The 'supposed to be' in the first sentence does make me rather suspicious about the initial date, especially as it is not referenced but I know nothing of this subject so some guidance would be appreciated.

British Library Details: Cornish ?

edit

Reviewing the BL catalogue info - there's none of the data in the article corroborating what's written in this article...? http://www.bl.uk/catalogues/illuminatedmanuscripts/record.asp?MSID=8620&CollID=27&NStart=9381

Firstly the document was produced in Brittany is stylistically similar to the Landevennec Gospel now in New York Public Library and came to Cornwall later - presumably by monastic transfer?

Second, the languages given are English[OE] and Latin - why no mention of Cornish on the BL data? This is usually cited as the first extant written Cornish, first dictionary and longest list of personal names in Cornish and important due to predating the Norman Conquest - not worthy of mention by BL at all...?

Is this just the usual Anglo-Saxon chauvinism / bias of London institutions or am I missing something here?
