Gneuss, Handlist of Anglo-Saxon Manuscripts (G. 381)
Introductory texts to the psalms (including SK 10728, 12730); Interpretations of Alleluia, Gloria and Hebrew letters (in Psalm 118); Psalterium Romanum° ; Canticles° ; Three hymns° (SK 15627, 3544, 14234) : s. viii2/4, prob.

Gneuss, Addenda and corrigenda to the Handlist of Anglo-Saxon Manuscripts
I now regret that I did not detail all prefatory texts to the psalms (on 2–11v); they are listed and identified in The Vespasian Psalter, ed. David E. Wright, EEMF 14 (Copenhagen, 1967), pp. 48–52 and 93–4; it seems important to note, however, that there are contemporary additions of excerpts from Cassiodorus, Expositio psalmorum, in the Roman psalter in this manuscript (see Wright, ibid).
