The inscription language seems Latin to me, rather than Old English. Thus, the image description may not be accurate. --89.233.1.75 10:46, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have restored the words "Old English Hexateuch", because that is what the manuscript is conventionally called. As the British Library's detailed information page on the manuscript notes, the languages of the manuscript are Old English and Latin. However, because survivals of Old English manuscripts are so rare, the conventional name of the manuscript is the Old English Hexateuch. Jheald (talk) 16:03, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
