The #Vespasian #Psalter is one of the oldest extant books with old English text.
The scribe who created this psalter or hymn book of Psalms added what are called interlinear glosses between the lines of Latin text.
Despite the Roman name this is an English illuminated manuscript probably created about 750 ad somewhere in Kent perhaps in a monastery in Canterbury?
The scribe has created a work both beautiful and functional limiting ornament to the titles and headers and writing the main body of text in a strong clear hand with well spaced lines.
