Summary

Description
English: Folio 22v of the 10th-century Codex Vigilanus, from northern Spain, depicting the scribe Vigila and his own preface, in which he celebrates that he has finished writing on the manuscript, hoping it will gain him greater chances to Heaven after death. Date of photo unknown.

The following is an accurate transcription of the text, in which the long i's have been transcribed with a capital J, and in which solved abbreviations have been added with square brackets. The original punctuation is imitated with middle dots or interpuncts, with the presence of one middle dot with an acute for a punctus elevatus (after cursu), and one Devanagari high dot to represent the medieval high dot (after perueni).
