Wessex Gospels

The Wessex Gospels (also known as the West-Saxon Gospels or Old English Gospels) are a translation of the four gospels of the Christian Bible into a West Saxon dialect of Old English.

Produced from approximately AD 990[1] in England, this version has been considered the first translation of all four gospels into stand-alone Old English text.

Seven manuscript copies survive.

Its transcribing was supervised by the monk Ælfric of Eynsham.
