Ancient Latin Bible in Cottonian Library Attributed To Dover Gift
The London Chronicle notes a 9th century Latin Bible of four gospels in 217 leaves from the Cottonian collection. It is linked to English coronations 300 years before the stone of destiny and possibly owned by Athelstan the Glorious before giving it to Dover church. The piece survived the Ashburnham House fire. In a separate excerpt, Longman’s Magazine describes vampire swarms in Guiana forests attacking livestock and travelers, with some homes shielding stock to prevent losses.
