<p>Free Library of Philadelphia, Lewis E 239. Metz?, Germany, Circa 1020. This manuscript is a copy of the Gospels written in Caroline Minuscule in Germany, possibly Metz, circa 1020.  The prefatory material for the Gospel of Matthew is probably missing; the other Gospels have prefaces and synopses, but the first leaf of the Gospel text in each is missing and has been supplied later, perhaps in the fifteenth century.  The lower margins have been cut from some leaves (fols. 60, 120, 143, 176, 182), in one case with loss of text (fol. 53).  Cross-references between Gospels, contemporary with the text, are marked in the side margins.  A capitulary listing the incipits for the Gospel readings throughout the year follows the Gospel of John (fols. 189v-197v) but only runs through the end of August.
