Scope and Contents

The main text (folio 10) is preceded (folio 1) by the anonymous `Tabula expositionis` (see ‘Repertorium Biblicum Medii Aevi’, numbers 4780 and 4780.1), and followed (folio 142 verso) by ` De octo beatitudinibus` (‘Repertorium Biblicum Medii Aevi’, number 4780, 1.1). The latter appears to be incomplete, breaking off after the third Beatitude.

The manuscript is in one hand throughout, with the exception of folio 146. Written in brown ink with large initials, headings and chapter numbers in red. There is a four-line initial P with slight penwork (folio 1). An inscription, possibly of ownership (folio 1) and a few contemporary marginal notes.
