# Colophon to the Hanover Gospels

Pro scriptore precem ne tempnas fundere, pater:
Librum istum monachus scripsit Eaduuius cognomento Basan
sit illi longa salus
Vale seruus Dei N et memor esto mei.
[‘Do not disdain, Father, to pour forth a prayer for the scribe. The monk Eadwig, with the surname Basan, wrote this book. May long-lasting health be his. Farewell servant of God, n[ame], and be mindful of me’ Gameson, ODNB]
