Old Kentish Glosses

The Old Kentish Glosses are a series of glosses written in the Kentish dialect of Old English on parts of the Latin text of the biblical Book of Proverbs. They are found in the first section of the manuscript London, British Library, Cotton Vespasian D.vi, which was copied in the tenth century in southern England (perhaps at Canterbury). These glosses are the main source for our knowledge today of Kentish Old English.[1]
