  • GA 771: 10th century minuscule of the Gospels with extensive commentary. The commentary surrounding the text often appears in the shape of an elaborate cross, with the scribe changing the size of the cross as needed to fit all of the text while maintaining twenty lines per page. This is a mind-boggling achievement for the calculation and planning it must have required.
