- In Old English., Discovered by Dr. James Molloy in a lumber room containing part of the old presbytery library at Winchester, the strips were once used in the binding of a copy of the sermons of St. Augustine. The strips were cut from adjacent portions of text from the inner margin of a folio in a manuscript which originally contained Aelfric's Catholic Homilies and Lives of Saints., The manuscript is from the "middle period" of Aelfric's productions of these texts, which lasted for about ten years after 992., and Fragments of the same manuscript exist in the Bodleian Library, Queen's College Library, Cambridge, and the Lilly Library of Indiana University.
