Book Synopsis
The Book of Deer, 43 folios of manuscript, containing parts of the Gospels and the Apostles' Creed, is one of the treasures of the Cambridge University Library. The Book is important not so much for its primary contents as for the notes in Gaelic which have been added to it in some of the available blank spaces.

Table of Contents
1. The monastery of Deer; 2. The manuscript, and the hands of the Gaelic notes; 3. The texts and translations; 4. Notes on the texts; 5. Purpose, date and genuineness of the notes; 6. Social status in the Book of Deer; 7. Land-holding and land-granting in the Book of Deer; 8. The spelling of the scribes of Deer; 9. The language of the notes.
