In the margin here is a good coloured drawing of the Nativity.
Hatched ground pale colours. Under a turreted building,
on the top of whose central pinnacle is the star, the Virgin
lies in front (head to R.). Above her, unsupported, the
Child in swaddling clothes. On R. Joseph seated, hand to
head: above an angel flies down. The Divine hand above.
On ff. 4b - 5b are Paschal tables in red, green, blue, and brown.
At the beginning, in red: Anni ab incarnatione domini
m. c. xl., a date which suits well with the aspect of the book.
The tables are carried on to mdiiii.
At end: hec est tabula omnium terminorum ab incarn. domini.
On f. 6 is a very fine initial N, drawn in red, blue, green, and
white on a gold field. The letter is composed of two dragons,
one seizing the throat of the other, and, on R. a robed figure
with a nimbed lion's head. Conventional foliage fills the
ground.

Factum est in anno nono xmo tyberii cesaris.
The letter of Pilate follows the Descensus ad inferos and
ends f. 68b:
omnia que gesta sunt de ihesu in pretorio meo.
Cp. Tischendorf, Evv. Apocr. ed.2, p. 416.
The text continues without break: Cumque claudius suscepisset
neronique imperatori legisset, and narrates the vision of
Christ seen by Nero, and the destruction of Jerusalem. It
then passes into a long anti-Jewish discourse, quoting many
passages from the prophets and notably a long passage from
4 Esdr. i, ii. This conclusion, which I believe has never
been printed in full, is being investigated by Professor von
Dobschütz for the new edition of the Acta Pilati. It ends
f. 70b:
Ut non sacrificent mihi nec agant in sempiternum. Istius
operis liber explicit.

I do not feel certain to what source this interesting and beautiful book should be assigned: but the presence of the feasts of S. Oswald (abp) and Egwin in the kalendar suggest a connection with Worcester. From this point of view, however, it is noteworthy that S. Wulstan’s name is an addition.
‘Yf you will set prise for yor booke being but of collections of sermons I will content you’ is in the hand of Stephan Batman (see ODNB). The marginal drawing of the Antichrist on fol. 94 is also by him.
