Scope and Contents
No title or author's name appears in the manuscript itself. At least one leaf seems to be missing between folios 1 and 2, for the catchword does not correspond. Something has apparently been obliterated on folio 1, as have stamp-impressions on folios 1 verso, 115.
Introductory portion, in prose and verse, begins at folio 1 verso. A second part (folio 12 verso), all in verse, is divided into sections consisting of prayer and praise, which are followed by 20 religious discourses, each accompanied by a story. At the end is a 'Conclusion'.
Illuminated headings on folios 1 verso, 12 verso.
