Dr Garrick Allen of Dublin City University is working with one of the illuminated Greek Gospel manuscripts in the Chester Beatty collection (CBL W 139).
This deluxe codex includes almost every possible paratext available to a twelfth-century Gospel book, illuminations, commentaries, prefaces, concordances, lists and notations.
Allen is examining how each of these contribute to our understanding of the main text and the book as a whole.
This project is generously funded by the Templeton Religion Trust.
