Described by Ker (1957) p. 351 as 'Donations to Exeter by Leofric and Athelstan' the manuscript contains Latin Gospels with beast-headed evangelist portraits made at Landévennec, Brittany, late 9th or early 10th century, supplemented in the 11th century with conventional portraits in the style of Northern France or Flanders; given by bishop Leofric, d. 1072, to Exeter Cathedral, where lists of lands, relics, etc., in Old English were incorporated at the start.
