The early history of the Getty Gratian (Ms. Ludwig XIV 2) before 1599, when it turned up in France, is undocumented, but the characteristic mise-en-page and particular decorative style of this late twelfth-century copy of Gratian’s Decretum have led art historians to associate it with a number of strikingly similar manuscripts that were given to Christ Church Priory at Canterbury Cathedral by Thomas Becket and members of his intellectual circle. This brief article focuses on the text, especially the early marginal and interlinear glosses and commentaries, which have been largely overlooked by scholars. Close study of the early annotations corroborates the connection to Becket, making it a rare relic, of sorts, of the saint.
